TERM 2, 2013

Term 2, 2013 What a BUSY class we have been!!

We have been...

doing hand and foot paint art
producing country studies
writing letters to fairy tale characters
making Japanese Koi Carp fish

Japanese Koi Carp fish. We sketched them on A3 paper. We thought about our scales - what worked and what didn't. We had to keep very focused on this task. When we finished we were very proud of our work. They make our class room look amazing, but remember no fishing in room 10!!

Cross Country We are very proud of room 10. Everyone participated in this event. We tried hard and got some very good placings.

Reciprocal Reading We read in our groups about all different cultures. We gathered facts from the text and presented them on A4 paper. They look fantastic!

English Our english lessons are challenging and encourage us to work independently. We have three main focuses Spelling, Vocabulary Enrichment and Formal Grammar.

We are trying to make our class colourful and interesting to be in. We think we have done a great job so far.

KIDS CAN COOK with Chris

Today we enjoyed a session with Chris at his mobile kitchen 'Kids can Cook'. Brooklyn was chosen as the chef's helper and Jesse was the photographer. We were introduced to French crepes with silver beet and apple. Most of us liked the taste, but a few thought otherwise. We were even given the opportunity to eat the plates, yes, that's right...the plates were edible - not too tasty though!

Washing hands while singing 'Happy Birthday'.

Flour, eggs, milk...

Beating...beating...beating!!!!

Question time...

Watching eagerly...except Jake...no surprises there!

Mixing with the audience...
