Term 3 Week 9

We found the missing letter q.

 

We made queens crowns.  Queen starts with q.

 

Here we are giving a queenly wave.

Our space corner has become a dentists office.  We are having fun playing at the dentists.

 

We made Mars and it's two moons.  Mars is a red planet.  Mars has two moons. 

 

We made some asteroids for our space wall.

 

We learnt that our solar system is in the Milky Way.  We made our own Milky ways and our solar system is just one tiny speck of glitter.

 

On Thursday Mrs M organised an incursion for us.  They taught us how water gets into the Swan river.

 

We poured water and watched how it got to the river.

 

 

We mixed stuff into the water.  The lady read a story and talked about how stuff in the water makes algae.  The algae is bad for the water and the animals.

 

We had our prayer service.  It was beautiful.  Thank you to all the families that came to celebrate with us.

 

 

Term 3 Week 8

This week we learnt about the letter x.  We had trouble thinking up words with x as it is not used a lot.  It is also a very tricky letter as it can make lots of different sounds.

 

We drew an x-ray of our hand.

 

We are working on our book for Captain Red.  This week we had to create a page showing things we NEED if we go into space, not things we want.

We are using our beautiful stuff to create pictures.  Then we are taking a picture of it and writing a sentence about it.

 

We went into space again!

This week the Spacedome from SciTech came to visit.  We got to climb inside and it really felt like we were in space.  It was dark and we zoomed into space.  We learnt about day and night and constellations.  It was very exciting.

Term 3 Week 7

Be prepared....we had a very busy week this week, this could be a long post!

We found the letter u this week. 

We covered our letter u with underwear and after reading the book underwear we designed our own underwear for our alphabet book.

 

We also found s and h.  When we put them together we get the sh sound, as if you are telling someone to be quiet.

 

We have turned our cubby house into a rocket so we can go to the moon.  I think it is the most colourful rocket ever created!

 

We made space helmets for our trip to the moon.

Then we all climbed on board the rocket.

 

We counted backwards from 20 and then we took off into space.

When we landed on the moon we went exploring.

 

We found some moon rocks to bring back to Earth with us.

We used the app pic collage to make a picture that looks like we really did go to the moon.  To see all our moon pictures you will need to visit our Kidblog page.

 

We have been talking about the sun.  We learnt that the Earth spins around the sun.

 

 

To discover what the sun gives us we tried to get away from it to see what was different.

 

We discovered that when we take the sun away there is no light and it is not as warm.

 

 

We went for a walk through the bush to collect natural things for our new natural construction area.

Friday was our sports carnival.  God gave us a beautiful day.  Everyone tried their best and had lots of fun.

 

 

What a week! Next week promises to be just as busy.  We have the Spacedome coming to visit on Wednesday and the Walkathon on Friday.
