Book week comes to Summerland

This week was book week at our school. There were books for sale and our class got to make a diorama of our favourite fairy tale. We chose the 3 little pigs.

Life Education

The Life Education caravan has been visiting our school this term and our class has been learning all about food. We wanted to make up our own book to show what we have learnt.

Our first try using Fotobabble to talk about our learning.

J J J Jelly!

Today's sound was 'j'.
Words we know start with a 'j' sound are - jelly, jam, just, jeans, jersey, jump, jog, joke.
To help us remember this tricky sound we made jelly! We had to read the instructions and take care with the boiling water. Hopefully tomorrow we get to eat jelly for lunch! Yum Yum.

It's a bird! It's a plane! No..it's a house?!

This morning during sport we found it very hard to concentrate on our throwing and catching games. Up high in the sky was a house, just like in the movie "up". It was an amazing sight and gave us something exciting to write about during wrting time.

Thinking about the future

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.

Fish and the bear

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

We hope you like our show.

Shadow Puppets

Today a reading group got to read a book called "Shadow Puppets" by Jenny Feely. While they were reading with Mrs Edwards the rest of the class started listening and became very interested in the text. No one was concentrating on their tasks, they were all listening to the group reading the book. So Mrs Edwards got everyone to pack up and the whole class read the book. Then she put out the same equipment from the story and let the class loose! Everyone got stuck in and used their creativity to make their very own shadow puppets.
Check back in soon, we want to make plays with our puppets.
