Learning to Write

Neeve has found one of  the sounds we heard in a word.

 We wrote a sentence about the crane today. 
We used some photos of what we had seen to plan our sentence. 

We started with a capital letter. 

Leni has found one of the spaces we put between  words.

We listened for the first sounds in words and Miss Forbes wrote them with help from Casey      Caterpillar. 

We remembered that the 'a' sound is written using an open mouth and a short stick.                                                             We made sure we had spaces between our words and finished with a full stop.

Aaliyah has found the capital letter at the beginning of
our sentence.

We checked we had remembered to use all the things we need to make a sentence and that our sentence matched our illustration and plan.

Kelwyn has found the full stop at the end of our sentence.

First Day Fun

1st February 2017

Today we were hoping to have a swim before going home but the pool had turned green and yucky! Mr Hardy said it should be better by tomorrow! 

Instead of swimming we decided to have a bit of learning and fun outside in our togs! 

We were learning that our beautiful plants need water to keep growing! 

We were also strengthening our muscles in our hands and fingers by using spray bottles and squeezy bottles!

Balloonatics!

Balloons at Dairy Flat

Balloonatics kindly donated about 600 balloons to our Junior rooms on Monday. The Creepy Crawlies had some fun playing with the balloons and balancing them on their heads! 

We then decided to count the balloons we had in our class! We wrote down all the colours and how many were in the bunch! Then we had to count is 2's and we discovered that there were 12 Balloons in a bunch! Then we realised that we had 7 bunches so we found a way to add the numbers that made it easy! We sounded out how to spell the colour words using our alphabet sounds.

We then decided to build a tower with the balloons to see how tall we could make it!

Then we hung them on the wire in the class to make our classroom colourful and we wrote about what we did!

Blue Bot's Adventure with the Reading Owls

Blue Bot’s 2^nd Amazing Adventure

 Once upon a time there was a Bot called Blue Bot, and he had a big smile on his face. Blue Bot had already been on an adventure with the Creepy Crawlies. He decided it was time for another adventure with the Owls in Bot Town.

When Blue Bot was going along the road he came across a dark and scary cave. It had a sign the sign said ‘Please enter Ant Cave’. Blue Bot had never seen an ant before and he was curious. He went to have a look….

He had so much fun with the Ants. “I don’t know what people’s problems are with ants, I think you are so much fun, not annoying at all”. Blue Bot said “Goodbye” to his new friends.

Grumble, grumble, grumble went Blue Bots puku. “I’m starving, I need some sausages” “Oh look, it’s a sausage shop”. So Blue Bot went inside the shop.

Chomp, chomp, chomp went Blue Bots mouth. “I am full of sausages”.

Blue Bot needed to walk off those sausages. He came to the

SKY TOWER OF ALIENS.

Blue Bot shook on his wheels two of his greatest fears were staring him in the face. ALIENS AND HEIGHTS. Blue Bot couldn’t get away fast enough the aliens caught up with him and took him to the fairy river of Joy. He wasn’t expecting that one.

What a beautiful River. But how would Blue Bot get across? Not to worry he saw a Bridge. He carefully went over the bridge.

Only to lead to the

Shark Room Castle.

“YIKES!” This Bot

Town is too scary.

No wonder I stay at

home all the time he

thought to himself.

He scooted past the castle

and came to a Sky Scarper

made of colourful bricks.

“Wait a minute, what’s that moving inside? LAVA. Oh my goodness what is this place, THE DEVIL’S, I’m out

of here” he screamed.

He came to the some beautiful trees moving in the breeze. The forest of SCRUMPTIOUS APPLES.

“That means I’m close to home. Oh goodie I’m exhausted. Time for a cup of oil tea and an upgrade”.

The End

Ice Skating

Room 6 The Creepy Crawlies were lucky enough to have a go on the ice this week! Some people were very wobbly and scared! They all had a go and even when we fell over we managed to get up and have some fun!
