The Block

We loved having Sam, Emmett and Chris come in to talk to us about their experiences on the block.

Oobleck

We loved exploring and experimenting with oobleck and discovering what happened when we mixed water, food colouring and corn flour (try it at home!)

It is a solid when you pick it up and then turns into a liquid.

We had heaps of fun putting our hands in and describing how it felt!

Slimey, Gooey, Sticky, Runny, Hard, Crumbles.

Welcome

A big welcome to Mikaera!!

Mikaera has moved to Clevedon from Australia, we are excited to have another boy in our class.

Keeping Ourselves Safe

Constable Michelle came in to talk to us about three different kinds of touch:

• Touch we like
• Touch we don't like
• Confusing touch

We talked about telling someone we trust if someone touches our body in a way we don't like.

Bunny Visitors

Frankie's Mum (Kellie) bought her bunnies into school today. We had so much fun having them in our class for part of the morning.

• There names are Scruffy and Fluffy
• They are the 'Flemish Giant' breed
• They are two years old
• They eat bunny muesli
• They like to nibble cords
• They live outside but sleep inside
• They have lots of fur to keep them warm

Watercare

Today we learnt about the importance of water, making sure we do our bit to help clean our sea clean!

Character Parade

We loved dressing up as different characters from a book!!

Stu Duval

We enjoyed listening to Stu Duval tell us a story about a book monster. The book monster had a love for books and was on the hunt for a new home. He finds a home with Mrs Overdue the librarian and lives happily ever after.

Whilst Stu tells his story he drew a picture to match the story.

He also showed us how to draw cartoons with any alphabet letter or number! He taught us a quick rhyme to help get started with cartoon drawing - S two dots a prickle and a line!

Zebong

Today we had Zebong in to tell us different stories that have been passed down from his family through a quilt.

We had so much fun laughing at Zebong and the actors.

Zebong got actors from the audience to help him tell the stories.

This is a story about a Grandma that climbs a tower.

This is a story about two best friends that go swimming at the beach.

This is a story about a Granddad who wants to marry his girlfriend.

This is a story about a Granddad that makes a yummy cake in a tower.

Buddy Reading

We have enjoyed going to different classes to buddy read!

They help us to learn new words and we listen to them read.

Maths

Today we learnt how to use tens frames. Tens frames help us to recall patterns to ten. 

Here are examples of tens frames.

We used an egg cartoon to practise addition to ten with a buddy then we recorded our sums onto a whiteboard.
