Money Week

We have been learning about money in class 1.  We have lots of fun in our class shop and can use good manners when we pretending to be the customer and the shop keeper.  We have been learning how to add our money to make sure that we enough to pay for what we want.  We enjoyed practising our skills at the bake sale recently. 

Science

We have been learning about the 5 senses.  This week we have been sampling different fruits and sharing our likes and dislikes.  We created our own bar charts to show the fruits we like and don’t like.  We enjoyed comparing our bar charts. 

In the Sensory Room we took turns with a partner to put on a blindfold and try various fruits.  We had to guess which fruit it was and say whether or not we liked the taste.   This was tricky as we couldn’t see the fruit!  We had to use our sense of touch, taste and smell to work out which fruit it was. 

Reading

We enjoy spending time in our class library.  We especially enjoy reading in the library with a partner, taking turns to read a story to each other!  Our favourite books this week have been, ‘We’re Going on a Bear Hunt’, ‘Owl Babies’, The Giraffe Who Can’t Dance’, and ‘The Fish who could Wish.’ Our librarian this week is Lewis.  Lewis has been making sure that our library is kept neat and tidy.  Lewis politely asks others to put their books away if they have forgotten.  Thanks Lewis, our library looks great!

Wonderful News!

Everyone was so excited to hear Jayden’s news.  Jayden has a new baby brother!  We enjoyed creating beautiful cards for the new baby.   Miss Barrie and Miss Cameron were so pleased as the children in class 1 could remember lots from the ‘New Baby’ topic last year.  Joe wrote ‘twinkle twinkle little star’ on his card and glued lots of gold stars as babys like to hear nursery rhymes!  We know that Jayden will be a fantastic big brother!
