We have had a busy first week back after our October break.  We have been continuing to look at different reading strategies.  This week we looked at ‘Retelling’.  We read Winne the Witch and had to identify the characters, setting and problem.

We also had a really exciting visit from Phunky Foods.  We had lots of fun learning about lots of different fruit and vegetables.  We got to play games, explore the food, dress up and even do a taste test.

We looked at skeletons and bones this week too and made some skeleton xray art work.  We talked about using different tones in our work to make our bones look 3D.

We continued learning more basketball skills this week as well as fun new games.  We learned how to chest pass correctly to our team mates.

We have also had a lot of discussions this week about Growth Mindset. We talked about how important it is to be able to learn from mistakes and the power of ‘yet’. We designed our own Yeti monsters to decorate our class.

We also loved seeing Lawson’s amazing Halloween Art that he made at home. Thank you for sharing it with us.
