Happy Birthday William F

Hope you're being treated like the king of the jungle today William!
Be sure to remember the details to share with us on Monday.

The Key Competencies Revisited.

Today we organised the things we know are important for having success at school under the "experts" headings. We did it three times and each time it looked different!

Lola's Record Player

Today Lola brought along her record player and a couple of records. We tried to imagine what it would be like to try doing all the things we do with music today (like going for a run), using a record player!

We listened to the Wombles Song and Lola.

What's a Typewriter?

We read about Joy Cowley using a type writer this week and someone said,

"What's a typewriter?"

I remember my mum playing this orchestral piece to me on a record once. What's a record? Well that's another whole story...

International Read Aloud Day

Wednesday was International Read Aloud Day. Room 17 celebrated this by reading big books to children in year one classes. Most of the books were by Joy Cowley. We chose Joy's books because they are fun for children to listen to.
We had to read the books with interesting voices to keep the children interested. Jules said,
   "You certainly succeeded, the children were loving the experience."
We also asked the children questions about the story and talked about the pictures with them.

Late Happy Birthday Marissa!

We enjoyed sharing your birthday with you last month!

May your eighth year be one full of fun, learning, laughter and love!

What Is It?

Today for writing we did a quick writing exercise. We had to explain what this fascinating machine was.


Remember to bring an apple tomorrow if you'd like to try it!

Doubles Song

Warning!! This song gets on your brain.

You might recognise some of the school leaders in this video!

Dragon Parade

On Friday we took our finished dragons on the road. Before and after recorder with Mrs Worthington we visited junior classrooms to show them our dragons and explain the story of Nian and this Chinese New Year tradition.
