Week 7 Highlights in MR

Blends 

This week we looked at the blend “th”

We found out that you can have a soft “th” and a hard “th”

We came up with lots of examples. We did a worksheet about the hard “th” and then we made our own like theatre and puppets for the soft “th”

We had heaps of fun making our own little shows.

Athletics 

On Wednesday we had our Junior Athletics. We all had a super great time and we trained really hard! Some of the people in our class came 1^st, 2^nd and 3^rd in some of the events. We all dressed up in our house colours to support our house!

At the end of the day we had a house relay. Some of the children in our class were in the relay because they were super-fast runners! I wonder if people remember what house won the relay???

On Thursday we wrote some stories about Athletics. We were trying to use some interesting words in our writing and start it in a fun way! Check some of our stories out:

Run jump throw! Yesterday Adventure Syndicate did Athletics down on the field. We did shot put and long jump and high jump. I jumped like an athlete.

Guess what? Yesterday Adventure Syndicate had Athletics. I jumped like a kangaroo. I felt so exhausted. I won a race. I was super at running. I was wobbling when I was running.

By Evelyn

Yesterday the whole school had Athletics. We did lots of fun sports and some of the parents came to support their kids. My mum came to support me. Some did not have their parents but it was still fun.

Dr Seuss 

On Thursday we also did a super cool language experience. This week we read the book “Green Eggs and Ham” so we made our own green eggs……. We just pretended that they were real eggs but they were actually chocolate green eggs! Yummmm! 

We got to go to the staff room to use the kitchen. First we melted white chocolate. Then we put a blob of white chocolate onto the baking paper with a spoon. Lastly we put a green M & M on top and waited for it to dry. We thought they were sooo yummy! After that we wrote a poem. We had to come up with interesting words about DR Seuss or Green Eggs and Ham.
