Hovercrafts

Today we made hovercrafts with our friends from room 16. We used recycled sipper bottle tops, old cd's and balloons. After we made our hovercrafts we wrote instructions about how to make them. Please read our work!

The Gruffalo-Readers Theatre

Have a listen to our first attempt at Readers Theatre. We have been practising all week, learning the words and remembering to listen to others so we know when it is our turn.

Reading smoothly

Today for reading we were practising reading with a smooth talking voice. We got to pick any poem we liked and then recorded our voices using the app 'Show me'. Have a listen to our work.

Alphabet Thinkers Key

As part of our learning about toys we decided to put together a list of toys, we decided to use Tony Ryan's Alphabet Thinkers key to put a list together. We put a twist on it, Angelina and Pari wanted us to use the percussion instruments we have been practicing with during music time.
This is our end result.

Arthur's home learning challenge

Arthur made a mobile for his room. He made it out of cardboard, plastic balls, a stick from the garden,  paint, and cellophane. It has a rocket in the middle and stars at the top.

Marvellous Toys

For writing last week we had to put on our Green thinking hats and invent a new toy. It was hard thinking of toys that had never been made before.
After we had talked with our thinking buddies we had to write about our toys. Then for art we had to bring our writing to life and draw our toys.
Check out our completed work.

Toys from Mayotte

Today we learnt about a little country called Mayotte. It is tucked in between Madagascar and Mozambique. Arthur's mum and dad lived and worked there for 3 years.

The children do not have toys like us, they make their toys out of things we would throw out.
Here is a picture of a toy car made from an old oil can.

Fish and the bear

Check out the first of our puppet shows. Written and performed by TJ, Zion and Armaanvir.
