Our amazing poems all about autumn and our senses!

Last Friday we had our second outdoor learning day. We started the morning by going on an autumn playground search by exploring our 5 senses. We found lots of interesting leaves, in all shapes, colours and textures. We discussed how our senses would be different if we were ti explore in the spring or summer compared to autumn. We then used what we has found to write some amazing autumn poetry!

After lunch we were very excited to be planting some daffodils. Daffodils get planted in the cooler months, and hopefully will bloom by spring, fingers crossed.

This term we have started a new topic, all about the human body! We are very excited to learn how our bodies work looking at our bones, organs and senses.
Last week was the Mexican holiday -el Día de los Muertos, The Day of the Dead, when families gather in colourful costumes to celebrate and remember their loved ones. We loved creating moving skeletons in the deigns that are seen during el Día de los Muertos. We also investigated why we have a skeleton.

Homework Table November

Homework should be completed by Monday each week. Please bring your homework jotters and folders in every Monday, so I can hand out any materials needed for that week. Take a picture of your homework tasks and upload them to the assignment section on teams for that assigned week. We will also have time in class on Monday to upload these if needed. If there are any problems, please let me know. Enjoy!

Last Friday was our spooky Halloween party in school. We all had an amazing time playing in the games and we even won splat the pumpkin! Don’t we all look amazing?

We had lots of fun painting our own landscapes!

We have been learning all about our right to the proper health care, clean water, nutritious food and and a safe environment.  We then crated our own definition of what being healthy means to us.

As part of our topic, we have been learning about natural disasters. We were thinking about the impacts they can have on people and on the land. We learned that buildings need to be stabile to survive an earthquake. As part of our learning, we

became engineers and had lots of fun designing and creating our own buildings that a could survive an earthquake – the table shaking!

This term we have been enjoying regularly visiting the school library and picking new books to read. We have loved sharing our books with our friends and having the opportunity to read for enjoyment. We have even been exploring reading in some weird places!
