Owl Art

Last term we did lots of collage in room 10. Here are some of our collaged owls. We used wrapping paper to make the wings. We love the way the trees stand out with the white outline. Some of us think it looks like the moon light shining on the branches.

Handwriting Star

Shayden has worked so hard to improve the neatness of his handwriting this year. Now his writing is neat in all of his work. You should feel extremely proud of yourself Shayden!

Super Spellers

Great spelling children! Daniel and Billie had their first week of spelling in room 10 this week. What a fabulous result for your first week of spelling.

Mice...

Macauley, from room 8, brought her four pet mice to school. She kindly came through to our room to show them off. She knew a lot about mice and was very interesting to listen to. Her mice are tame. We wrote a poem about her mice...

Macauley's Mice

Four, little, furry mice
Grey, white and black
Tickly paws and claws
Soft, smooth fur
Scaly tail
Little ears and nose twitching
Wibbly, wobbly whiskers
Running around the super fast wheel
Nibbling at the crunchy food
Stored in the car
Comfy, cosy, messy nest
Shiny, silver cage
"Squeak!" went the mice.

By room 10

Thank you Macauley for sharing your mice with us!

Super spellers term 4 week 1

Well done! You people haven't forgotten to spell during the holidays. Your words are getting trickier and you are becoming more clever!!

We are learning about fractions. Today we made raspberry jam sandwiches.
First we cut the whole sandwich into two pieces. Each piece was one half.






Next we cut the sandwich into four pieces. Each piece was a quarter. We had four quarters.



Finally we got to eat the quarters. YUM!

Rocket writing

Andre wrote this fabulous whale poem at home. He brought it to school to share with all of us in room 10. You are a clever poet Andre. Ka pai!

Dominic and Brodie have been working so hard on their handwriting. They both deserve to be handwriting stars. Dominic has already been a handwriting star, but he works so hard to keep his writing neat in all of his work, that he gets to be a star again!! Brodie keeps all of his letters the same size and his writing always sits on the line. Well done to both of you.

Making Gingerbread

We had a very, very small class today as lots of people were away on a Wide Horizons trip. We made delicious, warm, soft gingerbread for our morning tea. Yum, yum! "What a yummy feast we have!" laughed Dominic.

The Fun Bus

We have been sharing a big book in our class called "The Fun Bus." We found our own fun bus at school and went for a ride. This is what will happpen on Jazmin's fun bus...

My bus is a fun bus! My fun bus has a swimming pool. I let all the people on my bus. People can bring their animals into the bus. My bus is pink, purple and red. I let people on my bus on Monday. People have to tell me where they want to go. My bus can transform into a bouncy castle. Some children can play on the playground. People can dance on the singing and dancing stage. People can have tea inside. People can go to the beach for a picnic. People can wear pretty dresses. People can sleep on my bus. People can make magic in my bus. Inside my fun bus there's fun thngs that people can do.
By Jazmin

Wow Jazmin I like the sound of your fun bus! Can I come on your bus?

Black Cats

We read a story called Oliver's Party. It was about a curious black cat who tries to get into mischief.
We loved the colourful backgrounds in the story.
We painted black cats and collaged our background.
We think the black cats stand out really well from the colourful backgrounds.
Ben has lost his black cat and only has his background. Maybe there is a mischievous black cat out there somewhere...

Handwriting Star

Ben has worked so hard on his handwriting this year. He knows how to keep even spaces between words and keep his letters the same size. Ben we are all proud of you in room 10!

Super Spellers

We have been so busy we have forgotten to post our super spellers for the last few weeks.
Here are the super spellers for this week ...well done!!

More school sounds...

Sound Poems

The children have been been writing their own "Home Sounds" poems. Here are some great examples...

Brodie's bird nest

Brodie went to Alexandra in the weekend and found a bird's nest at his Grandad's house. This is what he wrote...

In the weekend I went to my Nana and Grandad's and I found a nest in the garden and when I found the nest I can trick people. We put stones in the nest and the stones looked like eggs!
By Brodie

We wrote a sound poem as a class yesterday...

School Sounds
gravel crunching
bells ringing
people talking
clock ticking
doors banging
pencils scratching
cough cough
quiet voices
birds chirping
playtime!
pencils dropping
children laughing
leaves rustling
seagulls squawking
wind whistling
workmen drilling
puddles splashing
grasshoppers singing
bells ringing...
