Term 4 2015

Our term began with us looking at musical instruments. Then we had to design and construct our own.
I decided to make an electric guitar.

I am checking to see if my guitar will make a sound

My electric guitar needs speakers!

My last writing in Room 2 was a letter to Santa

And this is my last writing in my book. Mrs Hawkie likes it when I add detail. I can use simple punctuation. I have my own spelling book to edit my writing.
