The Naughtiest Girl

Story One, Chapter One

The Spoilt girl Elizabeth Allen really does not want to go to boarding- school, so she more rude than usual. As she walks into her room, she sees her governess Ruth Scott silently sewing names onto brown stockings. Elizabeth stomps her foot and slams the book she was carrying against her bedroom door. "I shan't to school, and, even if you do, I'll be so naughty that they'll send me right back again!" she cries. Then she stomps her way out of the room. Miss Scott looks up, but then carries on working. Then when Miss Scott turns around to get something, Elizabeth sneaks into her room, takes a pair of stockings and pins them toe-toe, and then neatly manages to pin them onto the back of Miss Scott's skirt! Then she goes and hides. Miss Scott turns around and starts counting up the pairs of stockings. "1-, 2-, 3-, 4-, 5-. There should be six! Maybe Elizabeth's mother has one. As Elizabeth sees the pair of stockings swinging behind her governess, she puts her head in the cupboard and squeals with laughter. When Miss Scott asks Elizabeths mum, she said that she gave them all to Miss Scott. As Miss Scott turns around, mum catches sight of the tail, and shows it to Miss Scott. "Elizabeth again" she mumbles.

Teamwork Characteristics

Today in class we explored the characteristics we would like to see when we work in teams. The children thought the idea of 'Love' was funny. However the idea of 'Love' is a love to work hard, a love to learn, a love to share and a love for the work they do.
The children worked in partners and wrote a list of 7 to 10 characteristics they would like to see. After we wrote our list, we shared with one another in the class and made a class list with how many times the characteristic showed up. When Judith and Molly placed this information in Wordle, the words that appeared the most were written in bold and are larger. If they were not popular, the word is written smaller. 
The word that appeared the most in the list was courage.  

I HAVE NEVER!
