Here is some of the things we have been about learning about this week:

• We have started a new topic – Sun, Moon and Stars. We started to read the story of ‘The Owl Who Was Afraid of the Dark’. We learned about Plop the baby barn owl who is afraid of the dark.  We looked a description of him and how the author used adjectives to describe him.
• With rekenreks we have been learning about doubles and near doubles.
• We have been continuing to practise our handwriting. We have been revising the letters p, h, u and r.
• We created our own characters in writing. We had to use describing words (adjectives) to describe our characters appearance and how they behave.
• In numeracy we have been learning about adding 1 , 10 and 100 to a number. We know that adding one changes the ones number, adding ten changes the tens number and adding 100 changes the hundreds number.
• As this October we were saying a decade of the rosary. We know October is one of the months of Mary.
• We were using the bee bots and the ipads to do some coding this week with Miss Gibson.
• We used oil pastels to create an owl image on black card.
• We had some PE outside and were playing listening games. We are trying hard to improve our listening.
• In P3 science we thought about sounds we liked and disliked.
• In P2 science we were learning more about forces and building ramps for toys.

We are looking forward to our October holiday.
