All About Shapes

This term Room 4 has been learning about Shapes. We have been looking around our school for different shapes that we can find (we found lots on the playground!) 

After we found the shapes, we looked at the qualities of each shape, like how many sides they had.

Miss Donnell took us outside and we drew some of the shapes we had seen around our school. In the middle we wrote how many sides they had.

These are my shapes.

Writing for the Future

For our 50th Jubilee Room 4 decided to write about what they love about Elm Park School. We brainstormed some ideas about the things we do in the classroom, people who make our day better and our favourite things to do at morning tea and lunchtime. These stories went into a time capsule that will be opened when the school turns 100.

Being a star writer in Room 4

We are learning to use full stops in our writing. 

'I can use lots of full stops in my writing.'

Learning about Fractions

We are learning to identify 1/2 and 1/4

'These ones are easy for me to draw.'

Re-reading my story

We are learning to re-read to check what I read makes sense.
'My reading makes sense because I know all the words.'

Celebrating Chinese New Year!

For our Inquiry, we are learning about Celebrations.

We have been learning about Chinese New Year. We know some of the food they get to eat during Chinese New Year, and the special things they get to do. Some cities have awesome parades with big dragons. We decided to 
make our own Chinese New Year drums. We painted our drums red and yellow, and Miss Donnell helped us to attach the bells. We think they are awesome!!

Explaining my Picture

We are learning to explain what my picture is about in my own
words.
'My picture has lots of things in it because I am good at
drawing.'
