Hedgehog Fun

Today we read a book called 'Hedgehog Fun'. It showed us how to make hedgehogs out of fruit. After we had read the book we made the prickles. It was fun and they tasted yummy.

I Am Learning to Draw Sunflowers

We planted sunflower seeds. They are beginning to grow. We drew a sunflower to show what we hope will grow on our plants.

I Can Find a Compound Word

"I can do this. I knew There's was the first word because it had a capital. The sentence has to make sense too. Inside is a compound word - in and side two words to make a new word".

I Am Learning To Add Details To My Writing

I am learning to add details to my writing.  

I can write when something happened.

"I can use the blue alphabet card to find the days of the week.  I can look on the whiteboard too.  Sometimes it's tricky to choose between Tuesday and Thursday because they both start with T."

I Am Learning To Tell The Time

We have made clocks at school. 

We are learning to tell o'clock and half past times using our clocks.

Blob Bugs

We used paint to paint three blobs, then we squashed our paper in half. When it was dry we added legs, wings, antennae and eyes.

Our Big Book Activity - The Snake Cake

We have been reading the big book 'The Snake Cake' and decided that we would make a snake cake  too.  We spread pink icing on the biscuits and stuck them together so they looked liked a snake.  

Then we put some blue icing on the top and M & M's too.  

Then we ate it.  It was delicious!

My Art Exhibition Masterpiece

This term we painted pictures for the 

Elm Park School Art Exhibition 2015.

The focus of our artwork was experimenting with different painting techniques, blending and shading colours together and creating repeating patterns.

To create our 'flower masterpiece' we practised mixing different shades of the same colour to create the wavy lines.  Then we used black vivid to create a repeating pattern.  We had fun putting our pictures together to create a whole flower - this was the best part!

Come along to see our artwork on display in the auditorium, during school hours, between the 

25th and 27th of August 2015.

Reading Term 3

I am learning about root words.

I can find root words in my books.

"It was a little bit hard to learn about this.  I needed to practise on my whiteboard and with Mrs Koroa to find the words.  Sometimes I still find it tricky to find the words.  Root words are the same words but they have different endings like s, ing, ed."
