Numeracy and Literacy Website

This is the link to a great numeracy and literacy website I have just introduced the children to. We have had a go at some of the games and the children LOVE them. Have a look and you may get a chance to use them on those rainy days at home when your not down at the beach or playing sports, etc.

Term 3 Topic

The first topic for this Term is K.O.S. (Keeping Ourselves Safe). In this topic so far we have talked about why it is important to know your full name and address and have practised writing this information. We have also started to talk about how different situations make use feel. For example: we feel happy when we get a hug from mum. Or: We feel confused when our teacher tells us to read a book upside down. There are still more things to talk about so I am sure the children will tell you all about it as we go. Any questions about this then please ask Mr Cross.

Air Rocket Experiment

We have been doing science experiments about space. The film below is showing how rockets work. In this experiment the air is forcing itself out of the balloon which then pushes it forward. We used a wire, a straw, a balloon and some tape. We thought it was pretty cool. Take a look.

Spaceship Art

As part of the Space Unit this term we have been doing some different artwork. Before starting our spaceship pictures we read the article from the newspaper about the new plane that can take people into space for the cost of $300,000. As a class we discussed the different spaceships we have seen on T.V. programmes and movies and talked about the way they looked and the things they had. What was it that you would need to go into space? These pictures are the creations we came up with. We hope you like them. Room 3 showed them to the whole school at the big assembly in week 7 of Term 2. Everyone was REALLY proud of their artwork.
