The Long Jumper

Today we watch some slow motion video footage of long jumpers. We were amazed at how far they went. It looked like some of them were running in mid-air.

Tiddler Stories

We have been reading stories by Julia Donaldson.

We really enjoyed the story about ‘Tiddler’ the story telling fish. Tiddler was always making up stories to explain why he was late to school. 

We pretended that we were Tiddler and have written our own stories to explain why we were late. Tiddler would be very proud of our stories.

Zero Waste Competition

A huge congratulations to all our prize winners in the Zero Waste Challenge. 
Arlia Murphy and Emily Wellstead created a really catchy song 
entitled ‘Go Green’ and Madison Biggs, Emma Rees and Phoebe 
Wellstead, created a short video explaining the importance of 
recycling. Both groups shared the runner-up position in the Year 
4-6 prize category. 
Room 5 and 6 were also prize winners in the Year 1- 3 Category with entries that shared their recycled artwork. 
Today there was a special prize giving at the Council Chambers. The prize giving was during a formal Council meeting and the children shared their entries with the Mayor and the Councillors before receiving their prizes.  Andrew and Emer represented our class and collected the Room 6 prize, which was a kiwi puppet, four picture books and lots of zero waste stickers.  We were very lucky!
We are very proud of all of you - well done!

The Frog Prince

We Love Baking!!!!!!

Today Room 6 was turned into a bakery. We made some yummy Gingerbread men to share with our Room 5 and Room 7 friends.
They were delicious!

While the Gingerbread men were cooking we did some practical measuring tasks.  We used Gingerbread men pictures to measure the height, length and width of objects around our classroom.  We had to make an estimate (a guess) before we measured. 

Just for fun - have a look at what these Gingerbread men are up to....

Jack and the Beanstalk

We have been reading lots of fairytales this term.  Last week's big book was 'Jack and the Beanstalk'.  We wondered how the story might have changed if Jack had swapped his cow for something other than beans.  We brainstormed lots of different ideas and then began writing new stories. Click on the book below to read different endings.  We have 'Jack and the Magic Shoes', 'Jack and the Magic Carpet', 'Jack and the Magic Wand, and many more exciting twists to a well known story.

All About Me Posters

We have been finding out about each other.  Our 'All About Me' posters tell our class mates a few things about ourselves:- our favourite colour, food, sport and animal.  We have found out that many of us like the same things.  We are going to create a pictograph to share our findings. Keep an eye on our blog to see what we found out.
