Using Visual Poet to learn our sounds

 

What clever children working on their ipads. Room 13 chose a letter and then had to hunt for something in the classroom that started with that sound. Here are some of their fabulous creations. Thank you to Connor and Abby Rose for being our experts.

Planting Grass Heads

Today we planted our grass seeds to make our Grass Heads. We are learning to care for plants.
We learnt that  plants need water and sunlight to grow.
We are looking forward to the hair growing on our Grass Heads.

Pet photos

Don't forget to bring your pet photos if you have a pet.  Here is Roco and Benny- Mrs England's pets.

Graphing

 We wanted to find out what the kids favourite colours were in our class. We all put our favourite colours onto the page. It was a little bit hard to talk about what we found out.

We thought it would be a good idea to join them together. Doing this made it easy to talk about. 
Blue was the most popular colour in our class.
Yellow and brown were the least favourite colours in our class.
2 people liked purple  and 2 people liked black. That was the same amount.

Whiteboard Masterpiece

Brodie and Oliver are very proud of their fabulous drawing. What a fantastic ocean scene boys.

Yah it is so good to be at school. Lovely to see such happy faces!! Keep up the smiles Room 13.

Hi

I hope you are all having a wonderful holiday. The countdown is on now. I am looking forward to meeting the children and their families who will be in Room 13 for 2014.
See you soon.

 Wow look at Room 2. They look fabulous all dressed up as their favourite characters.

 Luke looks great as the Joker!  And Riley makes a beautiful Snow White.

 Emily and Maia have dressed up as their favourite characters. Can you guess who they are???

 Reuben dressed up as Cat in the Hat. He was lucky enough to get his name pulled out of the hat to win a prize. He got to go to the library and pick a book from the book fair to keep. Lucky Reuben.

Yah PJ day at school.

Yesterday we tasted our first recipes of cereal for baby bear. Yum it was great. On Friday we will make up our second recipe and taste it. Then we need to choose our favourite one. We will then need to invent packets and a name for our cereal.

Puppet Theatres - Goldilocks and the Three Bears

We made puppet theatres illustrating the setting in the story. Next we made stick puppets of Goldilocks and the three bears. The best part was retelling the story and using the characters voice to make it more interesting.
