Week 2 Term 4

Our week began with a new addition to our little garden .... a swan plant..I wonder if we will have any Monarch butterflies on it later in the year?


In No Child Left Inside we continued our preparation for the Kowhai Athletics Day, this time concentrating on long jump skills.



 In maths this week we have been thinking about numbers that go together to make 10. Some great extension thinking going on..well done Room 10!


In Week 1 we started to think about writing stories and proudly shared our stories with our buddy class.
This week we looked at describing characters in our stories by writing a description of the troll from the Three Billy Goats Gruff story. We then used Tux Paint to bring our ideas alive.

My troll is scary. It’s spikey. If you touch him he would be so spikey it’s like a needle.

See more descriptions and pictures on our Kidzstuff blog linked to this blog.
In Art we continued to think about weaving by making some paper suns by weaving warm colours together. As part of our Sun Safety topic we are checking the UV ratings daily. Now you can do this at home using the link on the right hand side of this blog.

We continued to learn about magic 'e' and this week looked at how it joins hands with its vowel friend 'i' making it say its name.
