Week 5 Term 2

If you spotted some giants around  the playground last week don't panic it was just Room 10 learning to use the 'Giant's View' camera angle for taking photos.

When we were learning the sound 'z' we made a zoo, that grew....

...and grew


and grew!!!!!

On Monday Mel came to talk to us about how we can look after the stream next to the school by keeping it clear, cold and flowing. She also showed us how plants along the side of the stream could stop pollution entering the stream and  keep it healthy for all the animals that live in it.

In No Child Left Outside as well as getting rather muddy we practiced our dribbling and passing skills with a football.




In maths we have been looking at ordering numbers up to 10.



 We took it in turns to sit in the Author's chair to share our great descriptions about taniwha's.

We did some exciting experiments in Discovery Time continuing our investigations into the water Cycle.........

 ...and learning which objects would sink and which would float.
 In music we worked on keeping the beat and loud and soft using the percussion instruments.

The week ended with Bella's mum reading us a special story..thank you!!!!

Here is our voice recording of the very popular poem " One Day A Taniwha"
