Busy, busy, busy!!!

Wow, what a fun filled last two days we have had!  

On Thursday morning we were lucky enough to have Oliver's baby rats come and visit us.  They were super cute and friendly!  Oliver taught us all about caring for them.

On Thursday afternoon we opened up our Zany Zoo to the public.  We have spent the last couple of weeks designing a 3D animal that fits into the classification of an animal group.  We then showed them to the rest of our syndicate and invited our parents in to see them.

Today we had a party day in Room 5.  This was both the end result of our Statistics unit (see earlier post) and a farewell party for Sally as she is off travelling in Term 2. Jenny Dron will be our teacher.  As surveyed by one group of children the most popular theme was a beach theme.  Lots of us had fun dressing up.  Here we are doing the hoola!

Week 11

Wow the term is quickly coming to an end and what a week we had in Week 11.  In Maths we have been focusing on Statistics   As part of it  we are planning a farewell party for Sally as she is having Term 2 off to travel around Europe.  We have each chosen a topic to survey in order to plan a great farewell party.  We are surveying different things like our favourite party games, party theme,  flavours of fizzy, lollies and so on.  Some of us chose to make voting boxes, others are interviewing and some of us have even created surveys on the computer using google docs! 

On Friday we also had lots of fun blowing bubbles with our little buddies from Room 10. Their poem that week had been all about bubbles. Check out more photos on our class facebook page. Room 5 Class Facebook Page

3D Animals

This week we have had an awesome time making our 3D animals for our inquiry.  First we chose an animal group that we wanted to create e.g. mammal, insect, fish and Sally matched us up with a buddy.  We planned our animals and decided what we were going to use to make them.  We created our animals.  Some of us made them out of salt dough and some used cardboard, paper and recycled junk.  Today lots of us had fun painting them and adding all the extra details.  In Week 12 we are going to turn our classroom into a zoo.  Hopefully you might be able to visit it!
