We have been having fun playing some vegetables with our buddies.

We had to dig up the soil and put in the seeds.

Mrs Regan from the Anderson High School came to help us. It was lots of fun.

We planted basil in pots.

We did a hunt in the garden for different materials.

We can’t wait to see how our vegetables grow!

We have been trying to walk 1 mile every day at school.

We went for a walk with our buddies.

We met some other classes out for their daily mile too!

We are trying to walk all the way to Rio!

So far 1b has walked 193.61km. It’s 9300km to Rio!

It was fun walking around the school with 2b, 6b and 7b!

We have to walk around the school 6 times to walk a mile.

We have been playing a game about sounding out.

We had to throw the beanbag as we sounded out the words.

After we threw the beanbag and sounded out the words we wrote the words on the whiteboards.

We have enjoyed sounding out words and writing our letters carefully.

Every week we write in our news jotters. We write about what we have been doing at the weekend or in the last week.

We like sharing our news with our talking partners.

We talk to our partners about what we are going to write.

This makes it easier for us to do our writing as we have had a chance to think about it and talk about it.

If we tell our partners something that doesn’t make sense, our partners will ask us to explain it better. This helps us to do news writing that makes sense to other people.

We have been having a great time writing and drawing outside.

We painted with paintbrushes and water!
