Super work Leonardo, Zadie, Lincoln and Sienna this week!
Great job to these groups for their efforts with their plays lately! We have enjoyed watching them.

Check out our amazing sock puppets! We had lots of fun making these this week! We will begin creating puppet shows next week.
We showed off our puppets at the open day assembly.
Super job Nat and Zidan who received certificates this week!
Week 6
Book Week
Wow what a fun week!
We've had so many guest speakers, parents read to us, made fun book crafts, played book games and enjoyed lots of reading! The character parade was fun and colourful!
Week 5
Humpty Dumpty
This week we've looked at the classic nursery rhyme and story 'Humpty Dumpty'
We had to come up with a story about why Humpty got on the wall and how he fell off the wall. Come in and read our versions of the story!
We designed a way to protect Humpty from cracking as he fell and we also had to create a wall by sorting the words of the nursery rhyme.
Great job Cassidy and Filipe for your efforts this week!

The Exclamation Marks started off our plays this week by performing 'Mister Blister.' They practised together all week and even incorporated some props, expression and actions into their play. It was very funny and the class was entertained! Great job!

Writing:
This week we read the story 'Snowmen at Night' about what snowmen get up to at night time! We had to come up with our own version of what they do. We also thought of as many winter words as we could. Some of us had more than 80 words!
We created a fashion show snowman on Seesaw and we also used puffy paint to create a snowman. See it all below :)
Maths
We did some nonstandard winter measuring using 'snowballs' (Cotton balls) this week!
