Would I kiss it?

This week we made some graphs for maths.
First we listened to the story of the Frog Princess and then we made a graph about whether or not we would kiss the frog. Yuck! Most of us decided that we wouldn't.  Then we made a graph using our shoes.

Last week we wrote stories about being respectful and also about a bear losing his ball down a drain. Here are some of our stories.

Being Respectful 

I can be nice. I will keep my hands to myself. 

By Sky

Being Respectful 

I can sit down on the mat. Listen to your Mum and Dad. Be kind to your friend so they will be kind to you. I will do kind stuff to people. 

By Jake

Being Respectful 

Listen to the teacher when the teacher is talking. Listen to your Mummy when she is speaking. Listen to your friend, that is the way to respect. I can keep my hands and feet to myself when I am playing with Emma.

By Annie

The Bear 

The bear went to the park. He dropped the ball down the hole.

The Bear

The bear was playing with his ball. His ball fell in the hole. Along came a man. He saw the bear crying so he got in the hole and got the ball.

The Bear

Part 1 

One day there was a bear on the road. It was a kind bear. The bear dropped the ball and the bear was sad. A man said, “Here you go.”

The bear was happy. “ Thank you” said the bear.” I will make sure I will not drop the ball again.”

The next day the bear dropped the ball in the hole again. “Sorry,” said the bear “ Did you get hurt? I will be careful.”

On Monday the bear was careful and the ball was happy.  “I like playing and catching all day.” Finally the bear learnt how to be careful.

Find-out-athon

Congratulations to everyone for the great job that you did learning all the facts for the -athon this week.  Thanks to Mrs Delowe, Mrs Crooks and Miss Robb and Mr Funari-Roche that helped ask and write down the answers.  If you still haven't received your child's result, please return the blue sponsorship sheet and the test result will be stapled to it. Sponsorship money can come to school too.

As you know, we have been learning about road safety.  This week we went for a walk out the front of the school to take a tally of all the different traffic we can see. Cars came out tops followed by trucks. We also looked at the traffic signs around school such the pedestrian crossings and the 5km sign on the driveway.  

We will continue to look at different traffic signs this week in class and how to safely cross the road. You might like to show your child the signs you use when driving home and practise the Stop, Look and Listen message when crossing roads.
