Kelly Tarlton's Trip

Today we went on our trip to Kelly Tarlton's. The penguins had new nests where they will soon have babies. We went into the education room and got to ask questions about fish. This was very helpful and we learnt a lot about fish. After the education room we went to look around and finally we got to see the stingrays being fed. 

Name tags for Kelly Tarltons trip

Look at our cool name tags we made for our trip tomorrow to Kelly Tarltons. Our art is so cool!

Clocks

Meeting Harold the Giraffe

Today we went into the life education trust van. We learnt a song to sing when we clean our teeth: 'Brush, Brush, Brush your teeth, Brush them twice a day, Front and Back, and in between to keep the germs away.' (In the tune of Row, Row, Row your boat). We also meet Tam and learnt about our heart. Jess (Life Education Van Educator) gave us all a booklet to work on in class. We can't wait to go back on thursday and sing some more songs with Harold.

Red Nose Day

I

Today we supported cure kids. You’re helping to fund cures and better treatments for conditions like childhood cancer, heart disease, cystic fibrosis, sudden unexpected death in infancy (SUDI), asthma, and many more life-threatening illnesses that mean the children affected often miss out on a normal childhood. We wore our red noses to school and made red nose day cookies. Thank you for supporting such an important cause.

Fish maths 1-10

We made fish hand prints using paint. Then we placed them in our books and put the numbers in order 1-10. Finally we traced shapes and made coral out of them. We are very good at recognising numbers and putting them in order. 

Ss is for seahorse

Today we made seahorses in class. First we put blue glue along the back of our seahorse. Second we sprinkled sparkly paper on the glue. Third we glued on the eyes. Yay our seahorses are cool and match the letter of the week which is S. 

J is for jellyfish

Look at the jellyfish we made. We used cover seal, glitter, and sparkly pieces of paper. What great jellyfish. Jellyfish starts with J and is the letter we are learning this week. 

Sharks

Sharks... Sharks have lots of teeth. Sharks eat fish and animals. Sharks can smell very well. Sharks swim fast. Shark babies are called pups. Look at the sharks we made. We made sharks out of pegs, paper and colouring in pencils.

Thank you Parents!

Room 19/20's trip to the library

Today we walked to the new Lynn library. Rachel from the library talked to us about books and then took us on the tour to see all other places we can go. We were very quiet and enjoyed learning about fish. Rachel also gave us a library work booklet to help us learn about fish. What a cool treat. 

O for octopus and Assembly

Our poem this week is all about a octopus. Please ask us to show you the actions at home. In assembly today Emily received a certificate. What a great start to school Emily. 

I go, go, go

Our big book this week was 'I go, go, go'... I go up. I go down. I go into town. I go fast. I go slow. I go, go, go ... Away. We made cars and then drew chalk race tracks on the concrete. The teachers numbered our race tracks 1-20. Then we had to make car noises and find the number the teacher called out. As a class we are learning to recognise numbers 1-20. 

Ready for filming

Here is us filming for the school production. We had to walk across the school field while the camera man filmed us. More details to come when the school production is finished. Great national costumes room 20/19.

Fish passports

Cool writing this week Room 20
