We went swimming today at DNI pool. Jill put us into groups for next term. What excited children!! Thanks to the parents who came along. Remember your togs next term!

Super Spellers

Well done you clever spellers. You got all of your words right this week.

Cats

Can you find your cat? What masterpieces!!

Artists at Work

Today we worked with clay again with Miss Little. We made cat faces. We had to use sludge to join the clay pieces together. Sludge is a mixture of clay and water and it acts like a glue. We also had to score the pieces of clay that we wanted to join together.

School Cross Country at Chingford Park

Well done to all of the super cross country runners in Room 10. You all showed great perseverance and finished your race. We had a beautiful day for our cross country - it wasn't too hot and it wasn't too cold. Look at these action shots - a picture tells a story!

Spring Festival

Today we brought along our spring creations to school for our spring festival. The whole school put their work on display and there were so many fabulous ideas. Can you find your photo here?

Super Spellers

Here are our super spellers this week. They got all of their spelling words right. Great practising at home super spellers.

Managing Ourselves

One of the jobs we have to do when we arrive at school each morning is sharpen our pencils so we are ready for the day. Here is Kaci in pencil sharpening action. This is part of the key competency, "managing ourselves."

Making Spring Flowers with Clay

Today Miss Little showed us how to create spring flowers using clay. We had to pinch the sides of our clay tile to make petals. Then we had to smooth little hollows into the petals using our fingers. Now we have to wait for our clay flowers to dry before we can paint them.
Here are Kane, Jazmin and Silva working with great focus.

Handwriting Star

Silva is our handwriting star this week. Well Done
Silva! Silva knows how to keep her handwriting on the line, her letters
are all the same size and all of her tall letters reach the top of the
line. Silva has a handwriting holiday for a week.

Shot Put Athletes

We were shot putters today at maths time. First we had to estimate how far we could throw the tennis ball. then we threw it and measured how far it had gone, using our feet. We are getting really good at estimating.

Measuring with our feet

We are learning about measuring distance with Miss Little. Today we had a mini Olympics at maths time. With our partners, we had to estimate how far we could jump, and then we had to measure the distance using our feet. We have to make sure we measure heel to toe and don't have any gaps. Very good measuring Ramanaia and Britney.
Our homework this week is all about measuring things at home.

Super Spellers

Wow! Half of our class got all of their spelling all right this week. That is fantastic. They have been practising at home. Keep up the great spelling.

Music with Hana

Hana worked with us today again in music. Jazmin and T.J were the conductors for our songs. The rest of the class played the beat on instruments, while Jaz and T.J kept us in time. Great beat keeping conductors.

Working with Clay

Miss Little, our college teacher, is working with us for
the next three weeks. We are so lucky to have two teachers. Today
Miss Little let us experiment with clay. We rolled it, coiled it, poked
it, prodded it, made patterns on it, squished it, squashed it, joined
it and smoothed it. We had so much fun with clay.
Next
week we are going to work with clay again and create some masterpieces.
Look out for these on our blog.

Making Chocolate Brownie

Today we made chocolate brownie at school. Yum. We are learning how to write recounts. Recounts are when we write about something that we have done. We need to remember to write our ideas in order and use joining words like first, then, next, after that and finally. After we had made our chocolate brownie we planned our recount. Tomorrow we are going to write our recounts.
By the way the brownie was scrumptious.
