Poetry Finalists at the Poetry Festival

We were very proud of William, Molly and Chanuthi representing Room 24 at the Poetry Festival.

They were very brave!!

Sevice September

Here are some examples of Service September that have been sent to me. Well done Indie, William and Jeremy for being so helpful!!

Rush Hour

Mrs Dijkstra found in her cupboard at home three sets of Rush Hour. This is a Maths Puzzle where you need to move the vehicles- forward, back or to the side left or right so that the ice cream truck is freed from being hemmed in so that it escapes through the gap. We have to problem solve and trial and persevere. It is a challenge but we are learning to figure out tricky things.

Walk to School Week

Here we are with our Funky Feet.

Here we are looking bright.

Here we are as a twin with our self

Here we are with our Wacky Hair

                                                        Alex was a twin with Jeremy.

Tinker time with Beads

As part of our Tinker time we get to work with Hama beads. Our focus this time round was to create a design that celebrates " The Year of the Pig" Oh so cute!! However as they used up all the pink beads because it was tricky to make a small version, we are now going to design Butterflies to compliment our Arts Week art work. 

Spaghetti and Marshmallow Structures

 Our Friday challenge this week was to work with a buddy to make a cube and pyramid using marshmallows and spaghetti noodles. The idea was to create a stable structure. Next time we hope to have more marshmallows so that we can design and build taller and bigger structures whilst keeping them stable. 

Anzac and Easter

For Easter we drew different patterns on a bunny outline. What amazing detail Molly!

For Anzac we constructed a poppy and glued it in the corner of our poem.

 We illustrated a paper bag to take home our baking in.

Mrs McElwee helped us measure out the ingredients in the morning. Here we are rolling and flattening our Anzac Biscuits. A big thank-you to Beth who took our cookies home to bake and package after discovering the oven no longer worked. They tasted delicious!!!

Dots and Boxes

Last Friday our challenge was to learn a new game.We were given a piece of paper with dots on in a grid formation. We took turns to draw a line. If on your turn, your line completed the box - you wrote your name in the box and had another turn. We had to think carefully about where we draw our line.

We learned about having a strategy.

Self Portraits and Family Shields

Here we are having a photo shoot against the brick wall outside our room. It was a little tricky as the sun was shinning in our eyes. These are our self portraits with our holiday glasses on and our family shields where we illustrated - foods we like, members of our family, things we like to do as a family and lastly our favourite movie. Our classroom is going to look so colourful and wonderful when all of these are displayed in our room. 

Friday Challenge - working with ice.

 On Friday Mrs Dijkstra gave us a challenge. We were given a cup of frozen water that had a key in it. Our challenge was to bring the key to Mrs Dijkstra and to complete the sentence " This is the key to......" Most of Room 24 smashed the ice by dropping it on the ground but some melted it using water from the tap. It was COOL!
