Class Collections

The level threes have being working on stuff about Keeping In Touch because that is what our topic is for term one. 4J have being brainstorming Keeping In Touch words for our homework. As part of our speaking and listening our class news for this week is Collections. We have being brining in collections and have been talking about them. The most popular one is soft toys. Miss Jeffery has been taking photos of us with our precious items around us. Today we wrote a newspaper article about what we brought in.

Graphs, Tallies and Charts

In our class we have been doing graphs, Tallies and charts. We did a graph about our class mates' birthdays. We also did a tally of who likes different things. I did what's your favourite pet? I found out that people like dogs the most. Dogs got 17 votes. We had fun using the graphs, charts and Tallies and finding out stuff about some people. Maths is fun. By Leah.

February Dragon

In class we have been reading a book called February Dragon, by Colin Thiele. The most interesting chapter was when Columbine, a 5 year old boy who was playing with his ball but it bounced in the water drum. Columbine tried to get the ball but he fell in as well! He nearly drowned but his dad, Mr Pine saved Columbine and asked why he was in there. Columbine said that he was playing with his ball and it fell into the water drum. It was a really scary chapter and I'm glad he's ok.

Meet Our Grade

Writing Letters

We've been learning about writing letters this term. Here's an activity we have been doing on our interactive whiteboard. Have a go and see if you can correctly structure this letter.

G'Day from Australia

This term our topic is Keeping in Touch. We have been sending around a G'day from Australia to different schools in the world to see if anyone would like to be our pen pals. We got a reply from a school in Salt Lake City, Utah. We just started typing up a letter to them from our writing books today. We are very excited to get a reply from them and that they want to be our pen pals!

Creating a Learning Community

This is our first blog for the year 2009! For the first 2 weeks of school we have been doing C.A.L.C. I have enjoyed C.A.L.C. which is short for Creating a Learning Community. In the time of C.A.L.C. we have done some posters such as our great classroom poster, sustainability poster, a great student poster, a great teacher and our yellow pages. My favourite thing of what we did was probably the yellow pages. The yellow pages was where we said something that we were good at and made it into a yellow pages so that people can help others. The thing that I didn’t like as much as the others was a great student poster because it was hard to brainstorm things. We do C.A.L.C. so we can discuss the class rules, who we are and what we want our classroom to be like. Goodbye.
