Word Rockets are a test of how many words we can write from memory and quickly. We are given 10 minutes to write as many words as we can while Mrs Hickford prompts some words we can write word families, change the final sound, change the vowel to make new words., or write spelling words and other words we know. Things that help us write more words are: knowing the letter sounds, being able to quickly change first, middle and last sounds, being able to form our letters quickly and correctly. Words are counted only once and if a letter is reversed the word counts only if the reversal is does not make a different letter. So p/q and d/b are common confusions and words wont count if they are written the wrong way. others like 'c' and 's' the words will count.
Week 2 Queen is Esther, her consort is King Will. Courtiers for this week are Prince Theo and Princess Sone, well done. Next week I look forward to write all the personal bests into our blog as well. These are children who write more words than they a have written before.
Well done Theo, very good job :-)
