Welcome back

Today one of the students in our  class came back to school after a holiday visting family. We are so happy to have her back in the classroom. She brought Turkish delight for us to try and chocolate. We loved trying the Turkish delight. All the students have put the mini chocolate bars into their school bag to enjoy when they are at home. 

Assembly

Well done to one of our students who received a certificate in assembly for working hard on his spelling! 

Narrative stories

Make sure next time your in the class foyer you have a read of our class narratives. We were given two characters and had to create the setting. We cut up our stories and put them back together. 

Hungry Caterpillar

More photos! We are so proud of our caterpillar necklaces. 

The Hungry Caterpillar By Eric Carl

For reading this week our big book we are studying is The Hungry Caterpillar, the children have been learning about comas, using expression when you read and sequence of events. Today the children had to remember which  foods the caterpillar ate and the sequence they were eaten. The students then had to use gross motor skills to cut, hole punch and thread the foods onto string to make caterpillar necklaces. Don't the necklaces look wonderful!

Cut up sentences

Our monsters are complete and now we wrote narrative stories about them, cut up the sentences and even each letter in the word and put it back together. Next time your in the classroom come have a look the stories they are delightful. 

Monsters Inc

We have made monsters using fabric, paper buttons and wool. Tomorrow we are writing stories for our monsters stay tuned. 

Certificate

Well done to the student who got the class certificate today for awesome reading. 

Fractions of a beat

Fractions of a beat for Maths
We created a sequential rhythmic pattern using body percussion. We were successful because we were able to follow a pattern to clap and stomp in time. We made a pattern using shapes, each shape was a movement e.g a triangle was clapping, a square was stomping. We then had to read the pattern and complete the actions.

Drums

Well done to one of the students in the class who brought in his drum and played for us this morning. We were so impressed! 

Cat in the hat

Part of the handwriting program some of the students drew cat in the hat, it was very tricky, they had to listen to oral dictation, follow instructions to draw the cat, and then trace over their cat with vivid, cut out their cat and colour them in. The students are so proud of their work. Make sure you come into the classroom to see it. 

In the playground

We had so much fun playing in the new playground this morning. We also saw a senior student on a unicycle! 

Art

Today in Art we were practicing drawing Egyptian Pharos. We learnt how to draw almond shape eyes. 

Welcome back

One of the students in our class has been away for four weeks overseas visiting his family. We were so excited to see him this morning and hear all about his trip. He brought in English money called pounds and some photos from his trip. 

Sound waves

Today we each recorded a sentence and looked at our sound waves. We then made sound wave art by drawing our sound waves onto black paper once we had completed our drawing we used ribbon and wool to construct the shapes of our sound waves. Our art is on display in the foyer.
