Spring

Some of our lucky reading groups have been presenting plays to the class - we have been practising reading with expression.  We turn the room into a movie theatre, to set the scene.

Room 12 joined us for a Friday afternoon of Daffodil Day collage / mixed-media art. It was a very lively, creative afternoon and we think our artwork looks fabulous.

Room 8 is delighted that Spring is nearly here! Last week we took our writing outside to take note of what we could see, hear and feel around the school. We then wrote our observations into descriptive sentences.

(Sentences and artwork to be posted shortly - check out our photos in the meantime).

Dancing to the Beat

Check us out dancing to the beat as part of our current Music programme.  We have been learning how to recognise and keep time with a beat, using instruments and movement.  

Next we are learning about pitch.

Creating Masterpieces!

This term we have been exploring clay - rolling, smoothing, shaping and turning it into pots and tiles to be fired in a school kiln.  It will be educational to see the process through from beginning to end!  


These are photos of  us creating our Weather and Water Topic word clouds.  We brainstormed topic words and then found and cut them out of newspapers.  A great spelling challenge!

The Great Adventures of Stretch

This week we were inspired to write about a class toy that is a real character.  He loves to dance and help children on the computers but he can also be a bit naughty!  His name is Stretch.

We are Firewise!

Last week the Junior Syndicate had a visit from local firefighters.  We learned how to 'Get down, get low, get out' and yell Fire! Fire! Fire! to alert others, in the event of a fire.  We also talked about making our own family plan about how to get out and where to meet, if our house was on fire.  

It was fun practising how to safely get away from smoke.  We also got to check out the fire trucks and all the gear!

Be safe!  Be wise!  Be firewise!
