Autumn

This week Ruma Ono is looking at Autumn. We began today by writing a senses poem about it. We all had to go outside and we spent some time looking, smelling and touching things that happen in Autumn.

In the afternoon we made some leaf art to go with our poems. We had to paint each leaf and then carefully press it on to our paper.

Check back each day to see some of the great things we do.

Blowing our nose

This morning we had Nurse Anne in to teach us how to blow our noses. It is super important that we now how to do this especially at this time of the year when lots of us get colds. Below you can see a poster of the steps we take after blowing our nose.

Making Play Dough

This morning we made a new batch of play dough for our class. We each had a turn at adding ingredients and mixing.

After we had made the dough we wrote instructions for Room 4 to make play dough.

ANZAC activities

We had a blast in Room 6 today. Our whole day was ANZAC themed.

We started off the morning by making ANZAC biscuits...they were delicious!!!

We made a bit of a mess so we each had a turn at vacuuming up our mess.

Next we made poppies from paper.

Lastly we made poppies using paint. We used our fingers for the poppies, paint brushes for the stem and cardboard for the grass.

Banana Smoothies

Two weeks ago we had lots of bananas at school going off. So Room 6 decided to make a smoothie out of them. They were very delicious. Once we had made them we wrote some instructions and designed our own flavoured smoothie. Check out our wall display below.

Koru pattens

We looked at pattens in maths last week. Here is a picture of the koru pattens that we made.
