The day the Iroquois came to school on PhotoPeach

Red Day Fun on PhotoPeach

Today we tried some of our new reading activities.
We had fun making words with beads and with the playdough.

When Liam and Rilla came for their first school visit, we read a story called "Pop, pop, pop!"
We talked about the steps we needed to follow to make popcorn. We had a special sheet to colour and then we cut it up and put it in the right order. Now we know how to make popcorn. When we had finished we made popcorn with Mrs Paterson and then the best bit... We got to eat it!.
Thank you Mrs Nicholls for the photos.

This morning Max had fun making words with the letter beads. he made the words on the floor and then threaded them onto the pipecleaner. Max is becoming a good writer because he practices lots and lots. Why not see how many words you can make tomorrow morning.

Today we had buddy time with our Room 10 buddies. They are the oldest children in our school and we are the youngest. We showed them our shape pictures and our kidpix pictures.

We had lots of turns in the game.I caught them. I was so fast. Lachy
It was nice to play duck, duck, goose. Sophie
I tagged lots of people. Max

Computer fun with Maths Adventures on PhotoPeach

Today we revised the 6 letters we have learnt so far this term. We found that by saying the sound each letter makes and then blending them together we could make lots of words. See all the words we made. We can even spell some of them.

Friday Fun with Room 2 on PhotoPeach

What a busy week we had this week. I am sure there will be a few tired children after their first week at school. Today we met our big buddies. We told them all about us and they told us about themselves. We are going to have lots of fun together this year.

If you look at the very bottom of our blog you will find a jigsaw puzzle of Room 2 after their first week at school. Can you put it togther to see all the children?

Today was the first day of school for 2010 and the very first day of school for all the children in Room 2. Welcome to Sophie,Rileigh, Max, Lachlan, Cody and Reuben. I hope you love school.
