Room 5 made Dinosaur masks with Ms Donald.  We read and acted out our Dinosaur Poem!
Don't we look scary!

            Room 5's learning walls

Our walls are how we show and share our learning. In Term 3 our learning has been about The Olympics and working in groups and teams.

We have earned Olympic values medals for showing Excellence in learning, respect for each other and our classroom, and friendship to others in our class and school.

We drew ourselves doing an Olympic sport.

Our maths has been about Geometry - shapes. We worked with a buddy to cut a square in half then rearrange them in different ways.

In writing we have been learning how to write good sentences and how to check we have used capital letters and full stops. Sometimes we check our own writing and some times a buddy checks our writing.

It's Spring!

Look at our blossom trees and daffodils.

Clue Poem

I jump over logs

I have a saddle on me

I am brown

I get ridden

I trot or gallop

I have a tail

I eat apples and carrots

I live on a farm in a stable

What am I?

By Rm 5

Rm 5 talked about the Rio Olympics with Ms Donald. We saw some video clips about Mark Todd and wrote a Clue Poem to describe equestrian horse riding.

Whole class writing with Ms Donald

We have been reading the story "Going on a Bear Hunt" by Michael Rosen

In the story the bear's features are described :"One wet shiny nose, two big furry ears, two big googly eyes, It’s a BEAR!"

So Rm5  changed our Bear Hunt to a Jaguar Hunt.  Here is how we described them.

Guji Guji Acrostic Poem

Guji Guji is a crocoduck (Luka)

Under the bridge were the mean crocodiles (Leah)

Just in time Guji Guji tricked them (Mason)

In mother ducks nest an egg rolled down the hill (Ayrton)

Guji Guji hatched and said “Guji Guji” (Brooklyn)

Understands he’s a crocodile (Andrew)

Just because the crocodile’s were mean doesn’t mean Guji Guji is mean (Ayrton)

Is happy and they all danced at the end (Leah & Luka)


(Whole class writing with Ms Donald- we have been reading and acting out the Story Guji Guji ready to see it being performed at the Globe theatre next term)

We are learning to describe things using our senses to help us.

Eyes: what it looks like

Ears: what it sounds like

Nose: what it smells like

Hands: what it feels like

Mouth: what it tastes like

Problem solving in maths

Our maths problem this week is about how much fruit is in our fruit bowl. The maths learning is about counting accurately and joining sets then counting the total. We are learning how to use equipment.
You might like to work on the questions at home.

        

Welcome to Room 5's class blog. We hope you enjoy reading about all the things we do at school.

Our learning focus this term is on Managing Self - this is one of the Key Competencies we practice in our learning and thinking. We are learning how to look after our things and follow the class routine.
