CHECK OUT OUR LITTLE VISITORS!!

Here is one of the pictures.

HENNY PENNY HATCHING PROGRAM

Today the chickens arrived from the Henny Penny Hatching Program. There are three chickens already hatched and they

are in the play pen under a light. The incubator has 14 eggs in it and one chicken that hatched this morning but it isn't ready to go into the chicken play pen.

The eggs with the pink stamps will hatch first, then the blue stamps, then the ones with purple stamps and finally the ones with the green stamps will hatch last.

The chickens are in our room because we are learning about how food gets to our table.

OUR KANDINSKY PICTURES

In Numeracy Block we were learning about different types of lines and shapes. Mrs R showed us some art work by a famous artist called Wassily Kandinsky. He was an abstract artist and he painted pictures using different types of lines and shapes. He would use thick lines, thin lines, diagonal lines, vertical lines and horizontal lines. He also used a lot of different shapes both 2D and 3D shapes with lots of bright colours. We learnt about these different kinds of lines and shapes and we tried to include these in our Kandinsky style pictures. Mrs R used ONE TRUE MEDIA to show our great work.

Group 4's Noun Groups

Today in reading block, group 4 read THE ECHIDNA AND THE SHADE TREE. It is an Aboriginal Story told by Mona Green. It is a story that tells how the echidna got it's spikes and why it shuffles when it walks. We found noun groups in the story and put them in a voicethread.

Group 3's Noun Groups

Today in reading groups, group 3 read the Aboriginal Story HOW THE BIRDS GOT THEIR COLOURS. We found some noun groups in the story. We put them on a wall wisher.

DAVID AND GOLIATH

Another story we have read during our religion lessons is DAVID AND GOLIATH. We decided it was from the Old Testament because it mentions God not Jesus. We thought that the message was to Trust in God and He will protect you. We also thought that David was a "BULLY BASHER". Someone who stood up to bullies. Here is a YOUTUBE video of David and Goliath.
