Highlights of Week 5

Discovery Time

Our theme this week was towers! Our aim for Discovery Time was to work together as a team to make different sized towers. We had to try and make a tower higher than our hip. We made them with blocks, recycling boxes and many more materials. 

Here is what a few of the children said about Discovery Time this week:

Telesia

Chloe and I worked well together. She helped me build my double flower.

Cody

I said that people can play with me when they asked me.

Matthew

Vincent and I were working together and he was passing me the cello tape

Petro

I asked Maddie if she needed helped and she said yes so I helped her.

Max Wallace

I worked with Blake and it made me feel happy

Annelise

Yvonne, Kartika, Evelyn and I made a castle for Miss Rowe. We all worked as a team.

Haley

When I was building a tower three people came to play with me. They were Tessa, Yvonne, Milla and Vanessa. 

Spelling

We have been doing soooooo well with our spelling testing on a Friday. This week our big buddies tested us so we tried super hard. We loved having our big buddies come and test us! 

Persuasive Writing

This week we carried on having a big focus on Persuasive Writing. We wrote about different topics and had to try and get the reader to think the same as we think. Here are a couple of examples: 

In my opinion I think that you should buy my lovely teddy. To start with that means when I'm scared I can hug him. Also when I'm bored I can play with him because he's soft. At last I can sing with him. Teddies are the best! By Annelise 

I think that spring is the best season! For one thing in spring the daffodils bloom. Also, everybody is happy. Lastly, I wish that Spring would be every day! By Evelyn 

I think that summer is the best season. To start with summer is the best season because babe animals come out like piglits and chicks. This means people can laugh and laugh if they are doing something silly. Next you can go to the beach and build castles and play in the water. This means you can dry off quicker. Finally you can bounce on your trampoline or ride a bike and run and walk with your family. That's why I like summer.
