A Puppet Show

WALT create and perform a puppet show. 

Room 10/11 had a great opportunity to create and perform a puppet show from scratch! They had to write the script, make the stage and props such as a butterfly, a cocoon, a caterpillar and different types of foods. They practised for a few weeks and developed their acting and understanding of stage performance. Take a look at Aaradhna's group’s performance. (Please click the title above the picture)

The very big fat caterpillar

Setting description: a brown house is sitting on a hill and butterflies are flying in the sky. The sun is bright and shining on the worms. The jewellery is glowing in the ground. 

(a caterpillar is coming out of an egg, wiggling back and front and its ears and head)

Narrator: once upon a time there was a little egg pop! A little caterpillar came out of an egg.

Narrator: he was so hungry so he ate his egg and found some leaves.

Narrator: first he ate a strawberry.

Narrator: next he ate two bananas.

Narrator: then he ate three watermelons. After that he ate four apples.

Narrator: lastly he ate four lollipops again!

Narrator: when he was done eating he was a fat caterpillar. 

Narrator: he was a super fat caterpillar full in his tummy then the caterpillar got fuller and fuller and then he got fatter and fatter and fatter.

Narrator: then he found himself a safe tree so he made himself a cocoon. 

Narrator: after 19 days he turned into a butterfly! The End.

Book Character Dress Up Day!

On Thursday 21 November, Room 10/11 had a fun day dressed up as their favourite book characters. There were princesses, witches, wizards, Hairy Maclary and many other characters from different books! It was great to see the love of reading and making a connection to those characters. Well done Room 10/11 for your amazing effort and costumes! 

Art Show - Green Lipped Mussels!

We are learning how to roll and mould clay to form the shape of a mussel shell and meat.

Room 10/11 have made the Mussel artwork for the Art Show that is taking place in Term 3 Week 9. We observed closely on what features green-lipped mussels have and learned to use clay to carefully mould its shape for both the shell and the meat. After, we used the sculpting tools to show different textures on the mussel. Then we used colours to paint the mussel shell and the meat to create the authentic look! Lastly, we used real sand from a beach to make our background. 

Number lines!

WALT use a number line to solve addition and subtraction.

In maths, we have been learning to use a number line to solve different types of addition and subtraction problems. We also solved some of the word problems to challenge ourselves. 

Fraction art

WALT use 1/2, 1/3 and 1/4 to make flowers and butterflies. 

We have been learning more about fractions and made an amazing artwork using our knowledge of fractions! We drew and cut circles, then cut them again into 2, 3 and 4 pieces to make 1/2, 1/3 and 1/4 of different pieces.  Then, we used 1/2 to make the leaves, 1/3 to make butterflies and 1/4 to make the petals. 

Junior assembly

WALT celebrate and share our learning achievement with others

This term, we hosted one of the junior assemblies. Some of us spoke in front of the junior school while others showed our amazing works like cinquain poem and fraction art. It was a great time to celebrate each others' successes and we can't wait to have another day to host the assembly!

Learning fraction

WALT recognise what ½ is in a shape and group.

During maths, we have been learning about the fraction using different materials.

We used blocks, paper, beads and cups to make a half (½).

Drawing a portrait of me!

I am learning to draw a portrait of myself. 

I know I can do this when I have an oval shape for the head 

and I have the features in the correct place on my face.
