Jo and Celia showed us lots of different sized recorders this week. They had very big recorders and tiny recorders. Thanks to Jo and Celia for all their teaching. We have learned to play Hot Cross Buns.
Today was the last whole class recorder lesson from Jo. Vanessa and Eleanor will be teaching their classes recorder next term.
Jo will be at school next term teaching recorder to a small group. Children who are interested will be able to 'audition' next term. We are very fortunate that there is no cost for these lessons.
Today the children enjoyed participating in our school tabloid sports. The children loved the activities and worked well with their house teams. The activities included: Gumboot throw, water relays, egg and spoon race and many more. Well done ROOM 9 and ROOM 10 children.
We have been practising addition and subtraction for maths. We have been trying lots of different ways to solve addition and subtraction.
We have been retelling the Little Red Hen story. We have made a story map of the story and retold the story to a friend. We 'stepped out' the story while we told it. Please ask your child to tell the story to you.
For Discovery today we made bread like the Little Red Hen. We had to add yeast to water and honey. Then we waited for the bread to rise. We cooked the bread in the oven. We shared the bread at snack time. It was yummy. It was still warm and soft.
We all said "why didn't the animals help the little red hen to make the bread?" It was so fun and easy!
Our Year 6-7 buddies visited us on Friday. We have Buddy Reading every second Friday. We read to our buddy and they signed our reading log to show we had read. Then we played a variety of maths and reading games with our new buddies. It is fun getting to know the older children in the school.
Constable Ross talked to us on Tuesday about Keeping Ourselves Safe. He is visiting again next Tuesday. We talked about feelings and using correct names for parts of our body. Please ask your child about what Constable Ross talked about with us.
We have Constable Ross visiting in Week 8 and 9 to teach us more about keeping ourselves safe. The children have already covered several of the topics including: Online safety, feelings, home and the community. Inside their home learning books are some home learning activities to complete. We are looking forward to meeting Constable Ross and learning with him.
