Sickness and Art!!

This morning when the 9am bell went we only had 13 people on our mat! By the time the 3pm bell went we only had 10 left! The children who were still here in the afternoon got to see the Real Art Roadshow. There was some very cool art inside made in lots of different ways using different materials. Here are some pics of some of the art and of the children who were left at school!

St John Safe Kids

When St Johns visited our school we learned that we need to know our full address and phone number in case of an emergency. Here are the fantastic people in Room 16 who already know this information. They all recieved a St John Safe Kids certificate. A few people were away today, and some people are going to learn their information over the weekend. I will post a photo of those children once they get their certificate.

Disco Fever

Last Friday we had a "dis-go" to farewell the old hall before it is upgraded. The junior disco was HUGE!! There was dancing, singing, running, glow sticks, sausages and general chaos! A good time was had by everyone. Thanks to the PTA and the teachers who manned the lines at the door, sold sausages and glow sticks, and checked that everyone left in the safety of a parent. We can't wait till the next disco in our brand new hall.

Ahoy there Mateys!!

News Ahoy!! This week Room 16 was not a class of 6 and 7 year old children. It was a ship full of pirates. Shiver me timbers they were a fearsome crew to behold. During the days of old the ship mates and crew wrote some scrawlins to describe other pirates they have met on the seven seas. These were put onto 'wanted' posters to put up in the sheriffs offices in each port t'was docked in. They created masterpieces of their ships so they might gloat to other pirates. In the days to come they will be recording the way through the seas to their stolen treasure. So grab yer eyeglass and have a peek on yonder at their work.

The Ant and the Grasshoppers - Take 2

Yesterday we finally got time for the last 3 groups to share their plays of The Ant and the Grasshoppers. They were focusing on using expression and following the story even when it was not their turn to read. They did a great job.

Lynley Dodd Character Descriptions

This week we have been learning to write character descriptions. We had to use describing words to put a picture in the reader's head. First we described ourselves. Then we choose one of our favourite Lynley Dodd characters and wrote a character description about them. We are also learning to start our sentences with different words. Here are some of our stories. See if you can guess which character the description is of.
