Great Writing


Today we did some fantastic writing.

We started with a shape.  Then we drew more pieces to make the shape into something.

Our stories were formatted along these lines

A .............. is just a .............. until you add .................. then it becomes ....................

Cillian did such a great job he shared his writing with Mrs Warren.  He was amazing.

Tomorrow we will publish our great writing.  We would love you to come and have a look at how we went.

Cillian and Hayden Perform a Play

Cillian and Hayden worked hard at reading time all week to learn a play called Stone Soup.

They did such a great job and I felt so proud of them both.

St John Ambulance

Today we learned about how to call for help if we have an emergency.

We had a special visitor from St Johns who showed us a mini ambulance, she showed us the oxygen mask and we even felt the oxygen mist.  Cillian, Bina and Tiaan were lucky enough to try on a St Johns Jacket too.  They looked amazing.

We discovered that St Johns Ambulances and Staff all have yellow and green stripes to help us know who they are.

We practiced dialing 111 in case we have an emergency.  We are allowed to practice this on old phones or toy phones but not the real thing!

We also discovered that there is a very cool club called Penguins which is where children who are six years old are allowed to go along and learn about first aid, play games and earn badges.  I have enrolled Amelia in this club for term two....I wonder if any Room 16 children will be keen to join too.

Dinosaur Mural

Cillian, Tiaan, Ashley and Finn read a great book called Dinosaur Mural.

Today they made their own mural by following the instructions.

St Patrick's Day

What a lot of fun today was!

We started our day by watching Lucy from Room 15 perform two amazing Irish dances.  She did the Irish Reel and then a special dance called St Patrick's Day dance.

Lucy was an outstanding dancer and we enjoyed her performance.  She had a fantastic costume too.

This is a movie of her dancing.  Later in the day we had a go at Irish dancing too!



When we came back to our class Cillian shared some incredible information with our class about St Patrick's Day.  He told us all about who St Patrick was and he told us that he scared all the snakes out of Ireland....and now there are no snakes there!  Cillian spoke very well and we loved how proud he is of his Irish heritage.

Have a listen to him here.'




After this we made some green jelly....we made some to share with our Room 15 friends too!




During reading time today we worked on a poem about Leprechauns and did some other fun Irish activities.  We were going to go on a Leprechaun hunt too but the weather was too wet.
We also played with some very cool green slime!



When it was lunch time Room 15 children came into our class singing "Happy St Patrick's Day to you" to us....and the children each had a special green drink for us!
















We enjoyed eating jelly and drinking green lemonade!

At writing time we wrote stories about St Patrick's Day.

Before we went home we each did some Irish dancing.



What a cool day we had!
