I pads and Educreations

On Wednesday we had the Ipads we wrote stories about the swimming. As you can see,some of us clicked on the space bar more than once so we got lots of capital letters and full stops. We did this while Mrs. Bone withdrew groups for Reading.

Swimming

This is the 3rd week that we have been going swimming.  It is really important that we learn to be safe in the water.  We are in 3 groups . 2 groups are in the middle sized pool and another group in the big pool.  We have all improved so much since we started our lessons.

Room 2 In The Computer Suite

Today in the computer suite we did a class wordle together about swimming.  Here it is:

Most of the children wrote wordles about swimming.

Here are some of the children's wordles:

   

Science Investigation Day

Today we had another Science Discovery Day.  We started in our own classes.

In Room 2 we talked about what we already knew about magnets.  Then we got into small groups.

 Each group had a chart and a group of objects such as drawing pin, plastic and metal spoon, paper clip,keys, a $1 coin and a 50c coin, card, some tinfoil and aluminum dishe and a nail.  We had to predict which objects were magnetic and which ones weren't. After that we were given a magnet to see if  our predictions were correct.

 

 

Indonesian Dance Group

On Wednesday an Indonesian Dance Group came to school.  Team 1 and 2 went to their show before play.  Ryder was chosen from our class.  He had to put on some special clothes and have a drum between his legs.

 

The Junior School Cross Country

On Thursday the 31st of October Team 1 and 2 held their Cross Country.  We had been practising a lot so we were all well prepared.

The Cross Country was held up on the top field.  Mrs. Irwin was the starter.  The 5 year old girls went first followed by the 5 year old boys, then the 6 year old girls and the 6 year old boys.  Lastly they had the 7 year olds.

Here are some of our winners:

5 year old girls - 1st Olivia, 2nd Renee and 3rd Caitlin

 

5 year old boys - 1st Anders, 2nd Jack and 3rd Dryhas

 

6 year old boys - 1st Luca, 2nd Majah and 3rd Jacob

 

Well done to everyone who took part in the Cross Country and special congratulations to Olivia, Anders, Renee, Jack and Majah who are all from Room 2 and all came in the first three places in their race.

 

Here are a few of our stories that we wrote.

Art Using Clay

For the first part of the term we are experimenting with clay.  This is what we did last Friday when we made our pinch pots. First of all Mrs. Bone gave us all a piece of clay which we had to roll into a ball.

 

 

Then we put our thumb into the middle and slowly pushed down into the ball working around the pot pinching our fingers.

Look at our pinch pots!
