End of term

Out of this world, our new unit. We researched what the planets looked like and sketched and coloured our own solar systems. 

Reading our PPP letters. Thank you for the lovely letters you wrote to your children about their recent PPPs. The children thoroughly enjoyed reading them. 

End of term boys' picnic. Today the boys had their classroom picnic complete with animated videos and computer games. 

Happy birthday to Tobey!!

Extra reason for Tobey to celebrate today. He was awarded the CBS celebration award for our class for consistently demonstrating the CBS core values. Well done Tobey!

PPPs

Today we practised what we will share for our PPPs on Wednesday.   We look forward to sharing our learning with our families.

Reading & Writing in a Different Way!

This week we practised our memorising and listening skills.  We worked together in partners to copy a story that was posted in different locations around the classroom.  One person was the dictator whose job it was to read and memorise a portion of the story and then tell it to the person who was the transcriber, the one who wrote everything down.  Between the two of them, they had to be as accurate as possible with words, spelling and punctuation.  It was tricky but really fun!  Next time we do this, we will swap places and finish the story.

Easter Eggs

We had a lot of fun dyeing Easter eggs with our buddies today. We used wax crayons to draw designs on our eggs and then we dipped them in dye to create colourful Easter eggs. 

 

Science Experiments

Ben brought a great experiment into class to share with us today. It was called a lava lamp. He used water, oil, glitter and salt in a jar. When the salt was added to the oil and water mixture the 'lava' sank and then rose again. It was a great experiment about the density of liquids. Thanks for sharing Ben!

We also did an experiment to test our reflexes. We had to see how fast or slow we could catch a meter stick as gravity pulled it down through our opening and closing hands. 

Buddy Class

Today we met our buddy class, Room 27.  We were very excited to get to be the big buddies as we have always been the little buddies! We went to Room 27 and were given a little buddy.  Then we chose a book from their class library and went outside to the adventure playground to read our book with our buddy.  After we'd read our books it was lunch time and we went behind Room 25 & 26 to have a picnic with our buddies.  We can't wait to spend time with them again!
