Our Pictures

We have been learning to draw ourselves. First we looked in the mirror at the shape of our face, then we drew our eyes, nose and mouth. When we had finished we coloured in our pictures using crayon. Take a look at our pictures.

Ordering Numbers

We have been learning to order numbers to 10.

Reading Outside

Today we did our Reading outside. It was a lovely sunny morning so we read our book outside.

Mystery Reader

On Friday we had our first mystery reader for the year. We did not know who was coming to read to us. After play Mr Petersen our principal came into read to us. He read us 'Smelly Berty' by David Roberts. It is about Bertie and how he pops off. He makes it clear that he is not the only one who does this. We thought this was a very funny story that Mr Petersen read us. Thanks Mr Petersen. We wonder who will be our mystery reader this week.

Ordering Numbers

We learnt a new maths game. We got into 2 teams and we had to pick up a number, run down to the blank number line and place our number on it in the right order.

Answer to week 9 big question

Ever heard someone called a “sloth” or “slow as a sloth” because they move really slowly? That’s because the sloth — especially the three-toed sloth — is the slowest animal around. Their legs and feet are shaped to hang from trees, so it’s actually hard for sloths to walk on the ground. They can’t run or stand upright on their feet. It would take a sloth nearly a month to walk one mile! Sloths don’t do much walking on the ground, though — they spend their lives hanging upside down in trees. They eat, sleep, and even have babies upside down!






This video shows the top 8 slowest animals.

Ashley Park Visit

Today we went to Ashley Park. When we arrived we had a play on the playground. Then we were each given a bag of food so we could feed the animals. We looked at the different types of birds, then we went and had a look at the animals. We got to pat them and feed them. We saw donkeys, goats, horses, baby pigs, ostrich's, Lama. We had a picnic lunch then went for a walk around the lake before we headed back to school. We had a great day.

Answer to week 8 question

The blue wahale is the largest sea creature. The Blue whales are so big they are the BIGGEST creature ever to have lived on earth - even bigger than the biggest dinosaurs! The LARGEST whale ever measured was a female weighing 171,000 kgs and measuring over 90ft./27m long. The LONGEST whale measured in at over 110ft./33m. If you laid him out on the ground he would take up the length of nine family-sized cars!
