WEARABLE ARTS

Wow! I was so impressed with everyone's effort this week in creating their Wearable Art outfits. We had to use CREATIVITY and show TEAMWORK, DETERMINATION, PATIENCE, COOPERATION and PERSISTENCE - lots of our school values!

 

I thought everyone looked amazing for our show and did a great job displaying their outfits confidently.

 

Clever Readers!

In Room 4, we have been working on using good reading comprehension strategies. Today Escher, Ben and Regan read the story Rumpelstiltskin. They were learning to SUMMARIZE the story so after they read the story, they completed a story pyramid. They had to work together and share their ideas. They worked really hard on their activity. Well done boys!

Newspaper Clothes

Room 4 has been learning about the 3 Rs - not the school ones but the 3 Recycling Rs!

 This afternoon we did an activity that RE-USED some newspaper. We had to make some clothes out of newspaper. Check out some of our great outfits!

HAPPY GRANDPARENTS DAY!

Today it is Grandparents Day where we celebrate all our wonderful grandparents. We had lots of grandparents come and visit us at school this afternoon and we enjoyed showing them all the great work we do in Room 4.

Holiday Letters

This week we have been sharing our holiday news with each other. For writing, we wrote a letter to a friend about our holiday and then published it. Have a read of some of the awesome letters! The rest are on our Writing Wall in the classroom.

PLAYS!

Last week, Room 4 did some plays for reading. We had to use good expression, get into our characters, use a loud clear voice and work together as part of a group.
On Thursday each group performed their play. We were all very entertained!

SPACE POSTERS!

Wow, I have been so impressed with everyone's effort they have put in to our space posters over the last two weeks.

First, we had to research a planet, the moon or sun at home. Some people found HEAPS of information!
Then, we had to work with a partner to present our research on a poster.
Our poster had to include ...

• lots of interesting facts
• a big, fancy title that stands out
• some photos or pictures

We also had to work well as a team with our partner.

Well done, you are super space researchers Room 4!
