Folkdancing

 

Miss Chambers has been teaching us some folk dances this week.  We have learned Jibidi and The Jiffy Mixer.  Today we are going to learn the Bird Dance. 

Handwriting Stars

Riley and Emily have been our handwriting stars for the last two weeks.  They were chosen because they keep their work neat in all of their books - not just their handwriting books.  We are working hard to make all of our writing neat.  Well done girls!

Clever homework...

I am sitting in the classroom on a very chilly Dunedin afternoon marking homework for the week.  It is only Tuesday and some children have already completed their work.  I am impressed.  The blend this week is ...fr and the children had to write words that have  this blend in them.  As a challenge, they had to use at least five of their words in a sentence.
Here is Harriet's work - with a little help from mum she said!  It made me smile:)

"My friend Freya is from Africa.  She ate some fresh fruit from the fridge.  She had a free ride on a frigate from France."

How many ...fr words can you spot?

Frosty poem...

We had a very frosty morning in the Valley two weeks ago.  We went on a frosty walk and did some shared writing to create this wonderful poem.  The children in room 10 use some very interesting language...

FROST

Shiny, sparkling

Like a diamond on a ring

Ice on tables

Like icing on a chocolate cake

Chilly, freezing ice

Glittery, frosty grass

Crunching under our feet

Footprints in the ice

Children like freezing polar bears

Frost like icing sugar

Handprints in the ice

Icy dragon breath

Slippery like a skating rink

Ice like gladwrap covering Dunedin

By room 10

The Gruffalo

Today we went to see "The Gruffalo" show at the Kings and Queens Performing Arts Centre.  What a treat!!

We read the Gruffalo story and wrote about what he looked like...

The Gruffalo has big teeth.  He has orange eyes.  He has sharp horns.  He has a poisonous nose.  He has a spiky back.  By Holly

The Gruffalo has knobbly knees.  And turned out toes.  And a poison wart on the end of his nose.  And purple prickles on his back.  He has orange eyes.  And horns on his head.  He is big...he has sharp teeth.  He is scary.  He has white teeth.  He is brown.  He has fur.  By Emily

Sharing at Assembly

We shared our wonderful rainy day umbrellas at assembly today.  They look so colourful against the black backgrounds. Ava had a very clear assembly voice.  Nice job room 10.
