Week 6 in MR Class

In MR Class we like to have little ‘brain breaks’ after we have been focusing for awhile! We have a little bucket that we get to pick ideas from. Our favourite at the moment is ‘watch and wiggle!’

On Monday we went to the Cyberbusters show! We all thought that the show was very funny. We learnt that we need to “leave an extra chair.” This means that we need to include everybody so that nobody feels left out or sad. We are really good at including people in MR Class.

We have been focusing on the blends SH, TH, and CH this week. We made some shields and read a cool poem. 

For athletics we have been practising hurdles. I think we are going to be super stars for athletics next week!

It has been nice and sunny this week. Some times when it’s sunny MR Class likes to go outside and read a story under the trees. The story this week was “Cat in the Hat” by Dr Seuss. We are going to be focusing on one book each week during March.

Our first activity for the story “Cat in the Hat” was to make some hats! We were learning about word families and rhyming words. We were looking at words that ended in “ap, at, in, ip, an” We are all pretty good at rhyming!

Our next Cat in the Hat activity was to do a Glyph. We had to follow instructions to colour in our own cat in the hat. If we answered yes to a question we had to colour it in a certain colour and if we answered no we had to colour it in a different colour. After we finished colouring we compared our pictures with the rest of the class. Here are some of the things that we found out:

I noticed that only one person in MR class doesn’t like Dr Seuss (Petro) 

They might not like Dr Seuss because he lets Thing 1 and Thing 2 mess the house up! (Annelise)

11 people want Cat and the hat to come to their house. This is so that people can have fun with him! (Tessa)

 

13 people didn’t want cat in the hat to come to their house. I think it is because people will mess up the whole house (Maddie)

Cat and the hat can break things so that could be another reason why people don’t want them at their house (Telesia)

Only one person doesn’t think that cat and the hat rhyme (Matthew)

Most of us knew they rhymed because both the words ended with “at’’ (Kartika)

Lots of people don’t like Thing 1 and Thing 2 because they don’t always do what you say! (Toby)

Thing 1 and Thing 2 are also really messy (Grace)

The people that like Thing 1 and Thing 2 are good at tidying so they don’t mind having Thing 1 and Thing 2 over (Trani)

I noticed that we have more girls in the classroom than boys in the classroom (Max Wallace)

This could be because there were lots of girls at kindy too (Maddie)

On Thursday we made Dr Seuss fruit kababs! We used banana and grapes to make our kababs for the "cat and the hats" hat. We had to follow instructions to make them and then we got to eat them! Most of us thought they were yum, yum, yum!

Today we had purple and white day at school. We all dressed in purple and white to help raise some money for cancer. We all bought in a gold coin donation. The school raised lots of money! We were so lucky because we got given little purple cupcakes to eat. We thought they were super cute!

Next week we have athletics. We are all going to wear our house colours and try our very best. Bring on Wednesday 19^th March!
