It has been a busy but great
start of term in MR class! We started off the week by getting to know each
other and learning the ways of MR class. On Day 1 we went on a treasure hunt!
We looked around the whole school to try and find a hidden treasure box. We
found it on our playground in the tunnel! Every time we fill up our sticker
chart we get some treasure from the treasure chest!
On Day 2 we made our class rules.
First we read the rainbow fish story. We all loved listening to this on the
computer! Then we came up with six of our own rainbow fish rules so that we can
all have a happy, safe and fun year! We did some drama and acted out the rules
so we could understand what they all meant. It was super fun working in groups and
getting to know each other.
We have been learning lots of
literacy and maths games around the classroom. We will be playing these games
sometimes when Miss Rowe is busy with another group.
Our shared book this week was
called “The sunflower tree.” We read
this story, made sense of it and then wrote about it! We also did some
fantastic artwork to go with the story. We were focusing on the “fl” sound
this week and talked about lots of words that start with “fl.” We also did some "I Spy" writing this week. We made lots of clues and people have to try and guess what it is! Come in on Monday morning and have a guess!
We have also been very busy
creating self-portraits. First we did a draft in our topic books and then we
had a real go! We had to follow step by step instructions and we all did a
fabulous job of listening. First we used pencil and then we outlined in
sharpie. We got to use cool people colour crayons for our skin colour and then
we choose normal crayons for the rest of the features on our faces. Check them
out!
We learnt how to use the iPads
this week. We worked well in buddies and took turns at using the iPads. We
played a game called ‘hungry fish’ where we had to make 10 in lots of different
ways. We found out that you can make 10 by 5 + 5, 6 + 4, 7 + 3, 5 + 4 + 1. Some
of us even noticed that 6 + 4 could even be 4 + 6 and they both equal 10! We
also had fun making pizzas on the iPads. We used our imagination to make lots
of yummy pizzas!
Valentines Day was fun in MR
class. We read a lovely poem and then made something special for somebody we
care about. Check them out:
Rhino Rowe gets to go home with
Holly this weekend. Have a great weekend Rhino!
