Symmetry

The children have been busy this week making symmetrical patterns and finding the line of symmetry in objects.

Stories about today

It has been such lovely weather we all sat outside and thought about words to describe what we see, and feel. These are our superstar authors. 

The sun makes me melt. The green grass is tickling my feet. The leaves are dancing in the wind. William

The whooshing air is swirling around me. The soggy wet grass is tickling me. Saria 

The cloud is moving in the blue sky. The grass tickles my feet and toes. Tussocks are swishing in the wind. The clouds move after clouds. Eden 

The swishing tussocks are waving everywhere. It feels like a hedgehog spiking me. I feel so ticklish when it moves and I roll over on my back. It feels tickly too It is fun outside. Kiana 

The breeze is floating on my face. Grass prickles on my legs. Clouds fall on my face like candy floss.

The grey clouds cover the little blue sky. After a while the clouds move away and I see the big blue sky again. Ryan 

The fluffy clouds look like candy floss. The blue sky looks like shiny glass. The whooshing wind is flowing past. Lucas 

The shaped clouds are moving around. The sun s making my eyes water. The green grass tickles my legs. Angus 

The clouds are like a fluffy cat in the sky. The back of my legs feel like fire because of the sun. Prickly grass is damp. Thin leaves are floating past. Max B

Magic with Science

Our Ukulele Band

This is our outstanding ukulele group who work with Gilly our specialist music teacher every week.

 

Igloo!

Investigating freezing temperatures is never a worry for our students! One freezing cold morning these amazing learners explored how to make an igloo with ice. Angus discovered through exploration that if you melt two ends of the ice then hold them together they freeze together again making them stick. Once he had discovered this he was able to construct an igloo with Joe and Eli. What super sleuths you are boys!

Land Formations

The boys have been creating their own land formation's investigating pathways for rivers and mountain creations.

The most impressive part is how well the boys cleaned up the sand after they had finished. Well done. Lots of respect for our learning space and other learning. 

Numberline monsters

 We are thinking about ways we can put a number line into our heads to help us with counting on and counting back strategy. We decided to make monsters with holes in their heads to add a number line. The number line slides across  to show a number to help our thinking. What a clever idea! Angus created his own monster. Look at the detail and bright colours. Creating a great resource to help your learning - the best!!!

The lonely tree

We got to publish our amazing' lonely tree' stories.

We had a lot of fun with the paint.

Working hard in the Maths Room

 We have been working really hard in the Maths Room.  Counting forwards, backward and ,number patterns.  Look at all the different ways we can reinforce our Maths concepts.

Our POD's Travel Agency

W have been having a blast in POD 2.  We now have a Travel Agency in the Role Play area.  Children are making their own passports and brochures.  They are learning about phone conversations, taking bookings and flying a plane. Looking at other cultures and countries, maps and flags.The children are loving this. YAY!!
