Flower Power (Friday)

After weeks of forgetting, Mr Davidson finally got us to pick a person for the flower. This week it goes to Robbie. When Nari got hurt, he comforted her until she was better.  Great work Robbie. You are a very kind friend!

We're Going on a Shape Hunt

Today we went outside to find some shapes. We had to make it on the iPads so we could know the shapes' names. We used Five Senses to look and feel for the shapes. Here are the Pic Collages we made:

Road Safety Week

On Tuesday, we made signs for Road Safety week. We made our own signs first and then we made the classroom sign. We made the classroom sign by painting but we drew some pictures and words before that. Have a look at our sign:

In assembly today, we took all of our signs to the hall so that we could share it with all of the other children. The other classes made their own and brought them too.  Here is a video of all of the posters:

Here is our musical score:

And here is a video of us playing our very first beat:
