Assembly!

Room 1 had the pleasure of hosting the whole school assembly with Room 5 today.  We performed our skip counting in 2s song that we have been practising in maths.  We had such a fantastic time singing for the school and showing them all that we can count in 2s all the way to 100! Yay go us!!

Well done to Room 5 for their fantastic puppets and an extra special well done to all our speakers.  You spoke to clearly and didn't rush which was awesome, good job!

Room 1 are skip counting in 2s Super Stars!!!!!

Welcome to Term 4!

Wow is it term 4 already?!  

My goodness time is flying.  Welcome back to Room 1's blog where we will be continuing to share our learning journey with you.

One thing we need to remember this term is to be sun smart as it gets warmer and one way we do this is by wearing our hats!   

Term 4 is a hat term and that means we need to bring a hat everyday (or leave one in our tote trays) if we want to go and play outside in the beautiful sunshine :)

We hope you had a fantastic holiday!

We are little gardeners!

Our Jack and the Beanstalk beans got too big for the Room 1 windowsill and so we went on a journey with Mr Weston to plant them in the vegetable

Poetry Recitals!!

Room 1 went and met the other year ones for the poetry recital finals today.  Room 1's finalists were Chantal, Sadie and Kaylah.  It was so nice to watch them present their poems to all the year ones and it was great to see all the parents that came out to support them!

You did an amazing job girls, well done!

Room 1 and Miss Lister are super proud of you :D

We did it!

Room 1 got a new pirate puzzle and the boys have been working hard to try and put it together.  On day 3 they finally managed it!

Well done and great team work :D

Numbers!

Room 1 has got a new game that is helping us to learn how to read numbers as numerals and words all the way to 20/twenty!!

The first time we played it took us 7:18 and last week it took us 2:58!  Not bad for only 1 week.  Are next goal is to get under 2 minutes and then under 1...  We will keep you posted on our progress :)

Wolf! Wolf! Wolf!

This week our fairytale was 'The Boy Who Cried Wolf'.  

We learnt that this book is called a fable.

A fable is a story that tells a lesson.

The lesson we learnt was that you mustn't lie or trick people because then when you do tell the truth they might not believe you.

For art this week we created our own sheep.  It's amazing what you can make with a paper plate, some paint and cotton wool balls :)

First Miss Lister made our hill and our wolf to go on the wall.

Then we stuck our legs onto our plate.

Miss Lister gave us our sheep faces and we used white paint to create its woolly head and red paint for the mouth. 

Then it was time for our googly eyes to go on.

Putting glue on our plates and sticking the cotton wool balls onto them was the next job and we did such a great job sticking them nice and close together so there were no gaps.

And tada! Our sheep are complete!

Don't they look Incredible?!  

Too bad they are going to be eaten...
