$6.00 payment is due for the break up party by this Friday (3rd December).  If your child does not like pizza, you are able to pay $3.00 and they get everything but the pizza.

2 weeks to go!

Gold Assembly is this coming Monday (29th November) at 12:45pm in the hall.

Here are some of the crazy examples of our wild selves.

Reminder

Don't forget that swimming catch-up is tomorrow (Thursday 25th Nov.).

This week instead of doing literacy rotations using all different books, we are working on activities from 'Where the Wild Things Are'.  The four rotations include:

• Creating a filmstrip of the story
• Creating a map of the places Max went in the story
• Creating a mask of a wild thing
• Creating a wild self using Build Your Wild Self 

Planet Rhythm

Yesterday we attended the long awaited Planet Rhythm. We all got to have a turn playing drums to a beat, and then we got to play them as hard and fast as we could. Even the teachers got to have a turn! Everyone had a great time!

This afternoon the students enjoyed making their own finger puppets. Each student was given wild thing templates which they then needed to personalise using coloured paper and card, patty cake cases, oil pastels, feathers and stars.

The outcomes were fabulous and I wanted to share them immediately!  Miss Garrett and I both commented that the students had been wonderfully engaged throughout this activity, and even more pleasing was that no two finger puppets were the same!

The students are looking forward to acting out "Where the Wild Things Are" using their finger puppets.

We began our "Wild Things" unit this week. The lessons have all been developed around the text: "Where the wild things are" by Maurice Sendak.

On Monday we wrote stories using one of the pictures as a prompt.  Look out for these on our individual pages. This was before we had read the story.

In the afternoon on Monday, we looked at the pictures from the story (using the Smartboard), and discussed what could be happening on each page.  We then recorded some predictions using talking points. These are now displayed in our classroom for you to listen to.

Welcome!

It is important that we welcome new (and old) friends into our classroom. 

First we must welcome Jack who started with us today, and also to Mikayla who has returned to our class.

They have come at a great time as there are lots of fun things planned over the next 3 weeks.
