We have enjoyed learning the days of the week in Spanish.
Here are the areas of our classroom which we wanted to tell you about this week:
Board Games
Scott: there is a piggies game. You have to roll the dice and build the house. If you land on the wolf you blow the house down and steal a house from someone else.
Amelia: in the beanie boos game there is a little elephant. You start the game in the yellow star and you roll the dice and move spaces. Then you need to land on a shape and pick the shape and look if it is the colour. If it is your colour you get to keep it, if it’s a different colour you put it back.
Roma: I liked that game too.
Carter: I liked the animals jigsaw because it was quite hard and challenging for us.
Investigation Station

Carter: I learned that every year an ant goes up a tree and find food to hibernate.
Layla: I learned that butterflies can fly.
Freya: We could take the little cups outside and to put animals into the cup and then close the lid and then take them back into the classroom. I found a snail so people could see it.

Numeracy Area
Pati: there are clocks because we were learning about time. I can make 5 o’clock. The little hand at the 5 and the big one at the 12.
Celine: we learned about half past too.
Lucas: Half past 5. The big hand would be at 6 because it went half way around the clock and the little hand would be a little bit past the 5.
We enjoyed playing this game to support our learning this week:
Shea: it was a clock. We used pipe cleaners for the clock and you had to make a time on the clock. 5 o’clock would be the big hand at the 12 and the small hand at 5.
Fiddly Fingers
Cordelle: there were pegs and marbles and you put pegs on the blue board and then put marbles on the pegs.
Rainbow Learning
Paul: you had to find all the sounds in the story. I was finding the ‘oa’ sound.
Carter: I was looking for the ai sound – the ‘a and i’ and ‘a and y’. One word was snail and the other was nail.
Rojin: I was looking for the ‘th’ sound. One of my words Beth, the ‘th’ sound is at the end.
Logan: I was looking for the ee sound. It is 2 e’s.
Igor: Bee was in the tree.
Each group were given a printed story where they had to find as many of the sounds they have been working on as possible. The sounds we have been working on this week are:
ai/ay
th
oa
ee/oo
Michelle: for the green rainbow learning you had to write some sounds on the computers or the ipads.
Luke: you had to remember what letters to do.
Do you have a whiteboard app on a device at home where you could practise writing your sounds? We were also using microsoft word to type our sounds too.

The link for this game is above and was also shared on twitter.

Logan: they are heroes.
Luke: I painted a police man.
Anna: I painted a teacher.
Amelia: I painted a teacher.
Lucas: for the purple rainbow learning you had to close your eyes and pick someone’s name. Then you got a heart and drew a picture of the person you picked. You had to cut it out. Mrs Davenport helped us write what was special about that person.
