Week 9 Term 3 2010 -

This week we had been busy preparing for our production of 'Footprints through story land'. Room 6 are bears in the production so we have been making masks to wear and have had to try on our costumes. We can't wait until next week when we can show our family and friends our dance - our time to shine on the stage.

Carol (Blake's Nana) has worked with us on the computer this term as we sorted the photos we had taken of man made and natural features. We used the computer programme 'inspiration' to show our learning. Click on each image to enlarge it.

The caterpillar by Austin

Austin made up this story about a caterpillar. What happened to his caterpillar?

What was in the big black bag?

Well, what did Austin have in that big black bag ? Did you get it right ? It was in fact some rather tasty potatoes that he had grown at home in used tyre's!!! The potatoes varied in size from the very large to those incredibly tiny. Austin was very proud of his home grown potatoes.

Week 7 Term 3 2010 -

On Friday Martin, Austin and Oscar brought in things they had made with reused paper, cardboard and plastic bottles. Look at the photos below.

Martin made these rather fancy glasses.



Oscar made this rocket.



Austin made this space rocket back pack. - A very fancy and powerful tool.

The new sandpit cover

The finishing touch to the sandpit was made on Thursday - a new cover. Austin took these photos of the cover being attached. Thanks Austin for taking sure great photos.

We had a toy tea party by Austin

Listen to Austin read his recount of the toy tea party.

What was inside the black bag?

On Friday Austin brought along some news to share with us. It came in this black bag. He was very proud of what was inside it. Can you guess what was inside it? A hint - what was inside it - involved the use of old tyres. He started by using one tyre then after awhile had to add another and then another. We will post the answer next week.

Book reviews

Every week we look forward to going to our school library. Last week Callum, Austin and Stephanie got to take home a brand new book to review. This week they talked to Mrs Sutherland our school librarian about the books and she put together these reviews. They can also be seen on the library blog.

Bear by Austin

Listen to Austin read his story. What interesting word did he use to describe the bear?

Week 2 Term 3 2010

This week we were very busy preparing for the assembly we presented to the school with our buddy class. It was a lot of hard work and a lot of fun. Thank you to all of you who were able to come and support us on Friday by attending the full school assembly.


One afternoon we looked through our lunch boxes -


grouping what we found into four groups - fruit, paper, bread and crackers, gladwrap and wrapper. We then ventured outside in the windy conditions to plant our rubbish !!!!!



We are going to make some predictions about what will happen to the rubbish and what it might look like when we dig it up at the end of the term.



Working with Carol (Blake's Nana) we are continuing to explore what we would find in a farm environment. Click on the images to enlarge them.
