Persuasive letter

Cricket

 We were learning how to play Rob the Robin's nest.

Telling the time to quarter past

We have been learning to tell the time. I know that when the long hand points to the 3 i is quarter past.

Sounding out 3 letter words

I had to sound out in my head. It wasn't tricky to put the sounds in order because there are only 3 sounds. 

Following simple directions

This activity was easy for me because I know my left, right and up and down.

About Me

My high frequency words

I am learning to spell new words. It is tricky to find the letters but it is getting easy to remember the sounds.  Miss Kim helped me and next time I will do it by myself.

Welcome to my blog

Welcome to my blog. This year I am in Room 29 and my teacher is Miss Kim.

Looking after our Koha Garden

LI - We are learning to look after our environment by adopting a koha garden

We have been very lucky to have Mrs Robertson, the gardening guru, with us this year. We have been learning how to weed and water the garden. We also learnt how to grow vegetables from our koha garden. We grew many kinds of vegetables - kale, spinach, strawberries, tomatoes, potatoes, cabbage and more! We made kale chips and spinach dips and tried some of our vegetables fresh!

Freddy the Fish

As part of our Under the Sea inquiry, we explored the affects of pollution on sea creatures. 

Freddy the Fish was a happy fish swimming through the clean water. He noticed that the ocean was starting to change. The water was getting warmer and there were more obstacles in his way.

Freddy swam through... soil from erosion, fertilisers, sun off, salt, acid rain, oil from cars and rusty metal. Freddy was not well. We realised that he won't survive long in the sea with all these pollutants contaminating our oceans. 

Sink or Float?

Miss Runciman ran a science experiment with us. We wondered how sharks are able to stay afloat and move in the ocean so freely. 

We put water and oil in a small jar, shook it up and saw that the oil rises. 

After some research we found out that a shark’s liver is full of fat and oils and that is how they manage to stay afloat. 

High Tea Mug Design

After our amazing High Tea experience in Room 8/9. We designed 3D mugs to go with our writing piece. 

This is my story about the experience:

Harold the giraffe & Life Education Van

LI - how to show EPS audience manners

Yay! We were the first ever class to get Harold. 

We remembered to sit still, we sat up straight and listened to the speakers. We sang songs and gave our best. Thank you for visiting our class Harold!

LI - how we all have feelings

The amazing Life Education Van came this year. Room 9 spent two sessions learning about how we have feelings and what kind of feeling we have. We discussed how we show feelings when we are happy and sad. We also discussed about how we can look after each other. Every time we had a discussion, the colour inside the van changed!

Our class sorted these feelings to Warm Fuzzy Bucket and Cold Fuzzy Bucket. Harold the giraffe taught us how to do the banana dance!

The Learning Pit

LI - how to be resilient when I learn something new.

In Room 9 we have watched a video about the Learning Pit. I drew my learning pit and then I drew myself inside the pit. That is when I am learning something new. We have discussed about some ways to come out of the learning pit. 

Here is my idea of getting out of the learning pit.

How do I show resilience when I do something new or something difficult?

When I fall in my learning pit William (I) needs help. I keep trying my best.

William

I am just “WRITE” for our class!

My name is William.

We are going to have so much fun in our learning this year!

Reading

We are learning to read out loud and point to the words as we read them.

" I am reading my book. I am clever."

Wild animal tee shirts

I am learning to sketch a wild animal and transfer my drawing to a tee shirt.  I used special fabric markers to colour in my design.

Numbers to 10

I am learning to recognise numbers to 10 and place them in order.

"I can count up to 10. I know my numbers" said William
