Term 4 Week 4, 5 and 6

Wow!  We really have been busy.  My apologies for not posting sooner.  I now have 3 weeks to cover!
 
Week 4 was all about Science and Maths.  We had our maths afternoon and science expo week.  There were so many fun activities!
 










 
We have built our read to self stamina up to 11 minutes! Now we are learning a new way to practice reading.  It is called Read to Someone and we get to share our book with a friend.  Here is how we do Read to Someone.
 
We sit,
Elbow to
Elbow
Knee to
Knee
We read one person at a time.
We concentrate on the book.
we sit in our own space with our partner.
We use quiet voices.
We hold the book in the middle of us.
 
Miss R thinks it wont take very long for us to get our stamina up to 10 minutes with Read to Someone because we are already so good at Read to Self.


 
 
We have been learning about tens frames and building numbers with them.
 
 

OUr buddies helped us reply to all the comments we got from Mrs Mueller's class in Texas.


 
We have used Pic Collage to create a mixed up chameleon. It is kind of like the chameleon in Eric Carle's Mixed Up Chameleon except ours is all mixed up with Australian animals.  We can't wait to hear what animals Mrs Mueller's class thinks we have used.  We also can't wait to see what their mixed up chameleons look like!
