Term 1 Week 4

 
This week we learnt that we can use the pictures to read a story.
 
 
We went on a shape hunt.  We found shapes all over the school.






 
After we found shapes everywhere we made our own shape pictures.


We practised drawing our shapes but we overlapped the shapes.  Then we painted them lots of different colours.  You will have to look really closely to find our hidden shapes.


We are talking about Fairytales so we all painted a picture of our favourite fairytale.

We have a castle in our classroom.  Here we are pretending we are knights, dragons, princesses, queens and witches.

We read a story about how much Jesus loves children.  Then we practiced our pencil grip andcoloured in a picture of Jesus and the children.

We have names for our fingers.  There is Thelma Thumb, Percy Pointer and Tim theTall Man.  These three fingers hold our pencil.  Thelma and Percy go in the front of the pencil car and Tim the Tall man goes in the back seat.

Our Year Five buddies came to visit us.  We had lots of fun showing them our classroom.






Today Zero the Hero came back to visit because 20 has a 0 in it.  He brought us a giant 20 and we had to put 20 stickers in it.  That is a lot of counting!

Term 1 Week 3

 
We have started signing in when we come to school.  This helps us practice writing our name. 

 
 We have been learning about questions and statements. We played a game where we had to ask lots of questions to guess what was on our head.

 
 This game is called tic tac toe.  We use it to practice reading and making numbers.

 
We are making a mini me.  We talked about what colour our eyes and our hair is.  Then we used wool, material and textas to make the body look just like us. 

 
 

 
These boys are very busy building a castle. 

 
 These girls are busy painting pictures of rainbows, castles and beaches.

 
 We practiced writing our numbers by writing them on each others backs.  It was a very tickly way to learn our numbers.

 
We have been starting to count up to 20.  Here are some great counters who are counting lots of things.
