We have been learning to write descriptions. We made this slideshow called "Who am I?" Can you guess who we are?

Today we re-did our reading charts. They have all the activities we do a reading time to help us get better with our reading and writing. This new slideshow shows some of them. The children can tell you about their favourite ones.

Arts Interchange: Drama with Mrs Craig

Today we had drama with Mrs Craig.
We played a lying game. Some did an action with no sounds and when the person came back in and asked what we were doing, we had to tell them we were doing something else.
We pretended to be animals. We couldn't talk, we just had to do actions.
We got cards with pictures on and we had to make sound and find the other person with the same sounds.
We had lots of fun.

Because Mrs Paterson had to go away before our Disco last term, Mrs Boyce kindly took some photos of us having a great time.
Thank you Mrs Boyce.

In the last week of term 2 we had lots of sick children who sensibly stayed at home to get better. Michael was away for a whole week and missed out on making bread faces with our Buddies. His lovely mum helped him make his own bead face and it was HUGE!!! This is a photo of the story he wrote about how he did it.

These short videos are of our buddy class sharing some of their science experiments with us. We had to predict what we thought would happen. When we finished we all ate the bread faces we had made together earlier in the day. We have had a great time with our buddy class this year.

Try this cool new gadget. Click on the link above and you can add a "Stickie note" to tell me what you liked about our Breadmaking Inquiry. Your Mums and Dads can have a go too. I am looking forward to seeing your notes.

What a surprise we got when Sharon from Brumbys arrived in Room 2 with a big box filled with our bread. How kind of her to deliver it to us at school. The smell was amazing. We were amazed at how big our bread had become. Mrs Paterson gave it out to us and we had our photo taken before we started eating.
For those parents who didn't get to see the bread (a lot was eaten before school ended!!!) this is what it looked like.
Thanks Brumbys for giving up your time to answer our questions and for letting us make bread in a real bakery.
