I am like a shining star shooting across the night sky.

I am like a daisy flower swaying in the breeze.

I am like a colourful rainbow sparkling and twinkling in the blue sky.

I am like a blue wave slinking along the beach.

I am like a pink balloon twinkling in the sky.

I am like a rainbow sparkling in the sun.

I am like a bright star shooting across the dark black space.

I am like a fierce lion scratching his meat.

I am like a colourful clown as funny, crazy and silly as can be.

I am like a yellow flower that has a nice kind of smell.

Capital letters

 Cody has been matching lower and upper case letters.

 These children have been writing their friends names with capital letters on the balloons.

Remember to send along healthy fruit snacks for our 'Brain Breaks'

Cody and Max are researching about Tornadoes

Cody and Max decided to research Tornadoes after Skye brought in a newspaper clip about the tornado in Oklahoma.

They have learnt that tornadoes are tough and break down buildings.  

They are a funnel of very strong wind.

F5 are the strongest tornadoes.

Learning maths

We have been investigating numbers.   Can you see what our learning goal is?

Paper Planes

We have been investigating flying and flight. Max and Cody have been experimenting with paper planes to see ways they can modify the planes wings and shape to make them go faster. Cody wanted to find out how to make his plane do loops in the air. He discovered some awesome features he can change to make his plane do all kinds of tricks. These boys are both now teachers for this station, helping others learn new things. 

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.

Architects in Action

We have some budding architects and builders in Pod 2.  As an extension to their construction work they decided to draw plans and work as a team to build their constructions.  Amazing thinking and teamwork - wow!

Learning Numbers in the Question Room

Look at the amazing learning that is happening in the "Question' Room.  The children are learning to count up to 100, skip count in 2's, counting using pegs.

Construction

These amazing learners have been experimental with their designs using lego and straws to make unique and creative machines. Some fly, some roll, some are wide and some are huge. They can all explain in great detail their learning and how each part works. They are now sharing ideas to extend each others thinking and challenge their designs even further. During sharing time we can compare their finished products to talk about basic elements of form and function.
