Room 4 Garden

This afternoon two students from our class planted a swan plant into Room 4's garden. We are hoping a monarch butterfly drops an egg on one of the leaves so we can watch another life cycle of the Monarch Butterfly.... 

Little Red Riding Hood

We were so impressed with the acting skills from Fantails reading group whilst they presented the play Little Red Riding Hood. Well done, we loved watching you in action!

Mathletics

In class some of us are learning how to  skip count forwards  in 2's, 5's and 10's while some of us are learning how to do it forwards and backwards!  We would love to practice this on mathletics!

Andy - the electric man!

We have been learning to draw and write brainstorms then use our brainstorms to write recounts. We wrote about Andy the electric man using what happened first, then, next and finally. Here are some examples of our writing.

Room 4 Butterfly

14 days ago a caterpillar on our swan plant turned into a chrysalis. We have watched the chrysalis turn black as the butterfly grew inside it. This morning we were thrilled when our butterfly hatched! At the moment we have a very crinkled, wet butterfly at the bottom of our plant!

We have one more chrysalis left on our swan plant which we will enjoy watching! I wonder if it will also hatch in 14 days......

Mathematics Outside of the Classroom!

We are starting to learn about 2D and 3D shapes. First we looked at some shapes in the classroom and discussed their name, sides, length of sides and corners. Some of the shapes we talked about were triangles, pentagons, hexagons, octagons, circles, squares and rectangles.We went for a walk around our school and through our playground to see if we could identify and sketch any of the shapes.
Almost every object we looked at was made up of one shape we recognised!
