Friday afternoon fun

On Friday afternoon we had some free choice time. We had a whale of a time!!

Some of us worked together as a team and built an amazing marble run tower.

Tommie loved dressing up as a dinosaur!

Carlos dressed as a pirate.

Hayley was Buzz Lightyear!

Zach was Spiderman!

Jordan was ready for take off as Superman!

What a happy afternoon playing together!

Zahabiya and Daisy joined in the fun!

Adam AKA Buzz Lightyear joined Spiderman!

The Buddist Temple

Last week Room 10 went with the other Junior classes to visit the Buddhist temple. The people there taught us about the 3G's and 4G's.
It was a beautiful place to visit. 

Team 10 loved making lotus flowers, washing the buddha and most of all the bus ride there! We are such lucky children at Sunnyhills School.

A huge thank you to all the helpers who came and helped us out on the day!  We couldn't have done it without you!

Anzac Day

Room 10's poem last week was called 'Poppy, Poppy' so as a class we talked about what we already knew about Anzac Day .
We learnt that poppies were the first to grow in the mud and soil of Flanders where many solider's died. 

We learnt that A.N.Z.A.C stands for Australian and New Zealand Army Corps.

We made Anzac biscuits at school and they were delicious.

We also traced around our hand and added some colour to make a Room 10 poppy to remember all the soldiers that died in the wars.

Planting Spring Bulbs

Last week Room 10 decided to plant some spring freesias.

We know they take a long time to grow so if we plant them now they should be here in Spring.
First we had to make a label for our pot.
Then we put some bark at the bottom of the pot for drainage.
Then we put some potting mix into the pot (this was a bit messy).
Next we put the bulb onto the soil with the pointy bit facing up.
Then we covered the bulb carefully with soil.
Lastly we watered them.

They are now on the sunny windowsill warming up to grow.

Mrs Wishy Washy

Last week our big book was called 'Mrs Wishy Washy's Tub by Joy Cowley
Room 10 really enjoyed this book.

We choose our own animal that went for a wash in Mrs Wishy Washy's Tub and wrote about it for story writing on Wednesday.
On Thursday we drew our animals and sponged them with paint.

On Friday Mrs Wishy Washy came to school. She put all the Room 10 animals in the tub and gave them a wash. It was lots of fun pretending to be the animals in the tub.
Then Mrs Washy had to go home as she had lots of animals waiting to be washed at home.
So Tommie decided to dress up as Mrs Wishy Washy and wash all the dirty clothes in Room 10.

Wishy washy, Wishy washy, Wishy washy.

Tinker Time

So last week we enjoyed the circuit sets.
We had to create a complete circuit to make a fan, a light or a siren work.
We worked with a buddy. We all had a turn.
Some of the circuits are quite tricky to make but we persevered to make them work.

This week we had the Osbot.
He was very cool.
We had to write a programme to make him move by placing the chips into a path. Each chip determined whether he went straight, turned right, turned left or went backwards.
When we pushed the button Osbot moved around the map by following the directions we had given him.
He is very clever.
Next time we get him we would like to try and programme him to go to places on the space mat.

Week 3

What a busy week we had last week.
Daisy joined the Room 10 team.
Tommie, Stefanie and Jordan came for visits.
So we made lots of new friends.
We worked together to complete tasks like puzzles, maths problems and news stories.
We made Valentines cards for people we love.
We drew Greedy Cat artworks so come into Room 10 to see them up close.
I wonder what exciting learning we will do in Week 4?
