Time Magazine have followed children from around the world to show what a typical day is for them. If you click on  a country then A Day in the Life on the left hand side of the page you will be able to see what they are doing by clicking on each clock.  Compare their lives with others and your own.  Where would you like to live?

This is a great site to have fun with making sentences more interesting using adjectives and adverbs - drawing images in our heads as well as making animations. Visit this SCOOTLE site Wonderful Words, Creative Stories and have some fun.L8739

Stage 2 have been enjoying learning more about Dav Pilkey, creator of the Captain Underpants and Ook and Gluck series. We now know that reading gives us superpowers and that we can make cats jealous because when we read we can live many more than 9 lives - living vicariously through the characters and their stories. But the best part is that Dav's workshop on making flip-o-ramas has inspired us to create some as well.  Visit the workshop here to get some more pointers.
