Home Colour


Olly brought along cuttings from the native trees that we have used to name the special house groups at our school. What a great idea Olly. Can you recognise the trees?

Calendar Art


We have been working hard on art work for our calendars in class. Please come into the class and have a look so that you can decide on what order you might like to place.












Faraway tree




We are lucky enough in Room 5 to have our very own Faraway Tree. We are planning to put some of the main characters in the tree and add lots of the exciting things that grow on the tree during the next few weeks. Keep an eye on the blog for further developments.









Fractions


We have been learning about fractions on maths. We now know that the larger the number on the bottom of the fraction(denominator)the smaller the share of the whole is.

We did Name Art and put the letters of our names inside each square of a 100s board, then highlighted the first letter of our name to see the pattern created.


We talked about kind conversations and came up with 100 kind sayings.
