When I grow up...

"You have brains in your head.

You have feet in your shoes.

You can steer yourself in whatever direction you choose"

-Dr Seuss

I can't believe we are down to our final few days of school! This year has gone so fast.

 I am so proud of every single one of these kids! 

Christmas Dress Up Day

Room 12 looked lovely and festive today dressed up in their favourite christmas accessories...

Gingerbread Cookies

Have a look at our delicious gingerbread cookies!

We used our fantastic measuring skills to measure out each of the ingredients and had lots of fun decorating them with icing and sprinkles.

Capacity

This term we have been learning about capacity. 

Have a look at these pic collages we made about the different units of measure for volume and weight...

Christmas Stockings

Our Christmas Stockings are finally finished and they look amazing! 

Here are some photos of us hard at work...

We created our own stencils of christmas patterns and designs that we wanted on our stocking.

We placed our stencil underneath the fabric and followed the outline using a special paste made up of flour and water. 

We painted our stockings using bright colours, being very careful to stay within the lines.

We went out side and peeled off the hardened paste. This left a clear white outline around each of our designs.

A few of our finished products!

Chickens and Ducklings visit Room 12

Yesterday we had some very special visitors come visit us in Room 12. Noah's grandma brought in some chickens and ducklings for us to meet. They were so cute and we even got to pat and hold the baby chickens. She even showed us some eggs that look different to the ones that we buy from the supermarket... we had to be very careful when we held them so that they didn't crack!

Thank you so much Mrs Graham for taking time out of your day to come and visit us. We loved learning about the chickens and ducklings and enjoyed having the opportunity to pat and hold the little chickens :)  

Key Facts

Have a look at the pic collages that the Dolphins and Octopuses created for their reading follow up activity.  

The Dolphins read an article called 'Dancing With Bees' and the Octopuses read a book about cats. 

They had to identify some key ideas from the text to include in their poster.

Zone Athletics

James and Mischa are off to compete at the zone athletics today. They are competing in the sprints. 

We are very proud of them!

What Am I?

Room 12 have been writing animal descriptions.

Have a read of some of our descriptions and see if you can guess what we are...

Fold a Flower

Yesterday the sharks read some instructions on how to fold a flower. They then had to carefully follow the instructions to create their own flower. 

Here is what they did...

They firstly cut some straight strips of coloured paper 7cm wide. They then folded the piece of paper to make a triangle and cut off the extra paper. 

They folded two of the triangles corners over to the other side of the triangle to make a pentagon shape.

After they had a made a whole lot of little pentagons they arranged them into a circle and glued them down onto a piece of card to make a flower.

Summer Poems

Have a read of the shark's amazing summer poems...
