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 Inglis's group’s performance. (Please click the title above the picture)

The green sick caterpillar 

Setting description: there is a beautiful flower and there is a green tree and some birds. The sun is bright in the sky and the flowers are falling down and the trees are as tall as the sky tower. The grass is very green.

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 Line

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 learned to find the first number in the equation on the number line first, then hop right to solve the addition problem and left for subtraction. 

Cinquain poem

WALT write a cinquain poem

As part of our writing, we learned about the cinquain poem. It's a 5-line poem with nouns, verbs, adjectives and a sentence. Because we are focusing on the sea creatures as part of our inquiry - sustainability and conservation - we drew the picture of the shark, as our poem was on them. 

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!

Enviro Scholars!

Enviro Scholars!

We are learning to put the rubbish into the right bins.

We have been learning what kinds of rubbish go into different bins like ‘worm’, ‘compost’, ‘plastic’, ‘paper’ and ‘recycling’. We had a discussion of which rubbish goes into which bin and we were able to complete the task successfully as a whole class.
