Outrageous Musicians


 

On Friday we had a String group come and play classical music to our school. It was great. They made up stories and did the sound effects using their instruments and different coins.

Penny worked with us at Reading time to make our own sounds on some string instruments. We wrote down the names of the sounds to make some poems.

 
We cut and pasted some words from our music and made some poetry.
 Here are the poems from our new people to Room 2. We are so excited to have our full class next term. When we have permission from the parents of our new children we will have some pictures of our full class.

Butterfly Release



Bye Butterfly

I named the butterfly Fareyana. It took a long time for the beautiful butterfly to come. Mrs Walker put it outside for it to fly and I love the butterfly. It ate a lot of swan plant, munch, munch.

Bye Butterfly

I love the butterfly because it had sparkly spots and the orange things that look like hills and bumps. It looks like the only one from the museum.

Bye Butterfly

Last week a butterfly came out of its pupa and it flapped its wings and everyone curled around it. We briskly walked to the top court to release it. People talked on our video.

Me and My Shadow


We have had plenty of sunny days to trace around our shadows. We traced around them at different times of the day . We noticed that our shadows moved. For home learning some people made a sundial. Sundials work in the same way as our shadows. We traced around our feet so we always stood in the same place. Some of us were very scientific and wrote the time when we recorded our shadow. One day there was no sun so we couldn't trace our shadow, some people even recorded the weather conditions in their experiment.











Bubbles

We blew some bubbles and wrote some stories about them.  We made some bubble art to go with our poem on Friday.

Bubbles went over the brick wall.
Down, down, down.

Ginny and Small Ball Skills in the Hall

We had Ginny in the hall this morning for some small ball skills. We will have some follow up homework so we are really good next time we have her. Some of the drills were tricky but the challenge was fun.





We played a game called opposites, you had to do the opposite of what Ginny said. It was tricky and funny to watch.
