Well done Room 22

Room 22 has raised an amazing $604.50 through the ballistic challenge! 

Well done to Beth who raised $67!!

Those children who have brought in their money will be relieving an ice block and on Friday will be in the draw to win some amazing prizes at our whole school assembly. 

If you are still collecting sponsorship money it can still be brought in over the next week. 

Life Education bus

Today we had our first session with Jess and Harold from the Life Education bus. We learnt about all the things that keep our  body going. We met Harold the giraffe and Tam the plastic doll. Eilidh found Tam's heart and we saw how the heart (the biggest muscle in the body) pumps blood. We also learnt a cool little song that we can hum when we clean our teeth! We can't wait to go back on Wednesday afternoon!

Those children who still haven't brought in their $3 can do so until the end of the week.

Can you help?

 

Room 22 are in need of some resources. If you have any of the following can you please bring them into school. 

• Plastic Bags
• Newspaper
• Egg Cartons (can these please come cut into singles). 
• Magazines

Let's be clowns

This week we ready a story about some friends who decided to be clowns! Miss Black and Miss Macartney decided we too should be clowns, so we drew ourselves in the circus! 

Austin and Ava from rm21 came and picked our winners!

"We're going on a Duck hunt"

We went on a hunt today after lunch to try and find some ducks. It didnt take long! They were playing in Carpark River! Miss Macartney got really close but then they flew away, so we all got to cross the river to get a better look at them! We tried hard not to get our feet wet! Then we wrote about what we saw.

Sneeze Safe

Today we talked about being safe when we sneeze so our germs can't make others sick! Miss Macartney blew bubbles to show us how germs fly away. We blew bubbles and tried to catch our germs. Miss Macartney then put glitter on her hands and did an unsafe sneeze! It went everywhere!! She then gave everyone a high 5 and her glitter germs spread! Oh no. 

Have a look at the poster below to learn how to be safe when sneezing. 

Reading with expression

Today we were learning to read our poem with EXPRESSION! This means we make our voice sound interesting.
Beth did a wonderful job reading our poem with expression and even added actions!

Handwriting stars!

Today we had some super star Handwriting. The "felts" group worked hard to form perfect tunnel shapes in the letters h and n. 

Leandro won the prize for best finger spaces!!

Worms Reading

Today the worms reading group read a funny book about gumboots! We were learning to sound out new words! one new word was 'swapped'. The children in the book swapped shoes, so we our swapped shoes! 

Calendar Art

Keep a lookout on our blog for a photo you like of your child! There is an opportunity coming up for those interested to turn your favourite photos into a calendar, cards and more!

Writing time

Today we had a very interesting writing lesson. Miss Black had got a present from her Grandma and they were little capsules. But what was inside?
Here is what we did:

First we felt the capsule we thought they were very hard.

Next Leandro put the capsule into Miss Macartney's lunchbox which was full of water!

 





















It didn't work! So we read the instructions and they said it had to be in warm or hot water so we boiled the jug and Eilidh tried again.

This time it worked! The capsule turned into a blue sponge! We were very excited.

Now some of us were lucky and got to put some more capsule in. The same thing happened! They turned into more sponges!

Then we got to touch them once they cooled down. We thought of words like sticky, slimy, spongy, wet, hot and cold.

Finally we got to writing our stories. It took us ALL afternoon but they are great! Come in and read them!

Individual Photos

If you have purchased an individual photo for your child these are going to be taken tomorrow.
So make sure hair is brushed and there are lovely clean teeth!!!

Great work Ethan!

Ethan recieved our class certificate today for great reading progress!!!

Well done Ethan!'
