Pom-Poms

In writing and reading time we have been looking at procedural or instructional writing. During writing we have written about How to Brush our Teeth and in reading our big book has been about How to make Pom-poms.  
I was very proud of the children on how they worked together in pairs to make their own pom-poms on Thursday and Friday. 
We will be using these pom-poms to help us further in our inquiry about team work. Watch this space for further developments!

Team building

Welcome back to Term 4!  I hope you had a restful family holiday.

This term are main focus will be on Working Together as a Team.  We have started to think about what a team is and why we need teams. We have thought about the sports teams we know and the teams we have at school.  Please talk to your child about how your family is a team and that you all work together to get jobs done during the week. There may be teams your family are a part of such as swimming, ballet, girl guides, church, among others.

A BEEzy week in Room 5

As part of our inquiry into classifications of animals, we had Robin and Freya come into school on Tuesday to talk about the life of bees and how they make honey.  We were all fascinated about how they find nectar in flowers and then how this is turned into honey. We learnt about the different jobs that worker, drone and queen bees do as well.

We are also learning that there are similarities in animals and that scientists put these into certain groups. In class we are focusing on mammals, insects, reptiles, amphibians, birds and fish.

On Friday we hosted the Junior Syndicate assembly. 

Another busy week in Room 5!

We can be action heros

Well done to Room 5 and Room 8 children who took part in our assembly on Friday.  We hope you had fun and learnt about taking action to care of our environment and the ways we can take action at school.

On Monday we were able to take action by walking safely on the roads. Constable Harwood came to help us. We learnt how to look down, across and look up before walking briskly to the other side of the street.

Next we will will take action by going to Ambury Farm.
