This week we have been busy learning all about shape. We have been sorting shapes in lots of different ways.
Finlay- It was cool. You had to match the shapes together.
We even used the shapes we knew and our amazing folding skills to create the most fantastic shape monsters!!!!
Charlie- It was really fun making the shape monsters. I added lots of sharp teeth , they were triangles and one big circle eye.
Lucy- Mine only has two teeth…….it is a baby monster.
Aayan- I got a fright the first time I saw them after Mrs Walker put them up. I think they look great though.
This week we have been focusing on the sound ‘z’. We really enjoyed making our zig-zag zebras.
Lexie- I really enjoyed making them and learning the sound ‘z’ because it is my favourite sound and starts my favourite place… the Zoo!!!!
Charlie- I am really proud of mine, I tried really hard.
Fatoumata- I like zebras……alot!
Arthur- I liked writing z with chalk in the playground. I liked how messy it was!
Lexie- I wrote ‘was’. I was really happy because I remembered it wasn’t an o in the middle but a.
Sophie- I wrote ‘my’. It is a tricky trickster word. It sounds like it has an i ….but it doesn’t.
We really enjoyed drama this week. We used puppets to retell the story of the Rainbow fish. We had to be really careful to get it in the right order or it didn’t make sense.
Darby- I loved being the Rainbow fish. I really liked giving my scales away to all the other fish.
Levente- It was fun. It was like being in a movie!
We have had fun with our new dressing up materials. From super heroes to ballgowns. We have amazing imaginations.
Sophie- I love it… we pretended we were in Frozen.
Finlay- I liked being the Queen’s guard.
Lucy- They were a bit too long so we asked Mrs Cochrane to cut them up. That meant that more friends could play!
Lennon brought his fantastic truck in for ‘Show and Tell’ on Friday. He showed us the recycle symbol on the side to remind us to reduce, reuse and recycle. Lennon- I just love trucks!
We have been learning how to use tally marks in our data handling.
We tallied our favourite pets and discovered that the pet we liked the most was dogs. The least favourite was snakes. We had great fun interviewing our friends and counting up the tally marks.
We have VIP friends in primary 1 and 1/2. These are friends that are displaying our school values. Their friends share compliments about their friend and these are recorded on a special VIP certificate.
Finlay- I felt special. I got to go in the front of the line, make lots of class decisions. My chair was very cool!
Daniel- I loved hearing all the compliments…they made me happy.
Homework Stars-
Lexie has been working really hard on her numbers and created a fantastic Spring poem that she shared with the class. Well done Lexie!
Calvin and Harrison also made a spring acrostic poem and were super confident when reciting their poem to the class. Well done!
Georgia created these fantastic owls using recycled materials. We think they are very cute. Well done Georgia!
