Listen to our writing!

We have been working on making our reading and writing more interesting. We read a story with no ending called 'Amina's Blanket' and we have each written our own ending. See if you can hear if we have used adjectives, verbs and similes. Also if we have varied our sentence beginnings. Listen to our fabulous reading too.

Thank you Parents for helping us at the Snowfarm

We have each made our own thank you PhotoStories for the parents who helped us on the Snowfarm trip.
See if you can hear the Key Competency; Thinking, and the Value; Caring, in the thank yous?

Snow Farm 2010

Snow Farm

A reminder we are going on the Snow Farm trip on Tuesday. A letter has gone home with your child. Check the book bag.
Be at school by 8am. Meet in the classroom. Parents who have paid and are coming you will be assigned a group to look after while up at the Snow Farm. Parents please carpool. The children go in the bus with Mrs Metcalf and myself. The bus ride is part of the experience but children may travel home with parents if this has been arranged with me.
Remember to bring helmets, warm clothing, jacket, gloves and a plenty of food. The school has some helmets if you don't have one.
Return home around 5pm.

There are some outstanding accounts. Please make your payment for the ice skating and Snow Farm at the school office.

Fluffy the Talking Cat

We used the design process to make our own talking cats.
We worked in groups to brainstorm a story with a problem and a solution about the cat.
The talking Cat (Louis thought of this idea to add this link. It works!)
We shared our stories and chose one to go onto the blog.
We chose Naomi's story.

Rubbish problems and good things

Reuse Rubbish Badges

On Monday next week we are going ice skating. We had to make recycle badges.

We planned our badges in our art books. After that we checked with a buddy to see if they thought it looked good. We found the coloured paper that we wanted out of the recycling bin.

I feel proud of myself because I have always put a little t all the time in my name. Now I know not to.

Remember we have Ice Skating at 9.30. Come to school dressed in your gear and we will leave at 9am. Thank you parents for your offer of helping to drive the children to the rink. See you on Monday :)

Reduce reuse and recycle

Home learning Week 2

Look who did their homework! Well done to these children for thinking and creating something that involved reusing and recycling.
