Reading Term 2

I am learning to identify and make compound words.

I will know I can do this when I can find and match two words to make a compound word.

"Sometimes it's tricky to find the compound words.  I can play the compound word game on the iPad to help me.  I can ask my friends to help me too."

Our Big Book Activity - The Snake Cake

We have been reading the big book 'The Snake Cake' and decided that we would make a snake cake  too.  We spread pink icing on the biscuits and stuck them together so they looked liked a snake.

Then we ate it.  It was delicious!
