We have had another busy week. Here are some of the new things we learned…

This week in class we listened to the story of Moses. We were interested to learn that the story is set in Egypt. We head that for his safety, baby Moses was left in a basket next to the River Nile in Egypt and he was found by the pharaoh’s daughter! We used what we learned to create a story map explaining the key events in the story.

Last week we wrote a newspaper report about the discovery of Tutankhamun’s tomb. This week we redrafted our work by rewriting our stories, adding more detail and fixing some of our mistakes. We are really proud of our work and can’t wait to put it in our profile jotter.

At Milk and story time we listened to the story Voices in the Park by Anthony Browne. We carefully examined the illustrations. We then discussed how each character was very different and that the illustrator used various colours to reflect their personality and mood. We then chose one of the characters from the book and deigned a new front cover based on that character’s point of view. We were able to explain why we used certain colours/images. Some of us used bright colours and the sun to show that Smudge was happy whereas others had dark clouds, storms and dead plants to show that Smudge’s Dad was miserable. Miss Bollen was very impressed with our work.

Today we had a party for Miss Moran’s last day. We danced and played some games- it was great! Thank you to Miss Moran for all of her hard work and helping us learn!
