3D Faces

We love giving clues of 3D shapes and getting our class mates to try guess them.
Aspen's clues were
*It has 2 hexagon faces
*It has 6 rectangle or oblong faces
What is it?

Kaleb's clues were
*It can roll
*It has 2 circle faces
*It is like a can
What is it?

We had fun working out how many faces shapes had. We used masking tape and drew faces on it. We stuck it to each face we found.

Look how much fun we had :)

What 3D shapes can you find around your house?

Olympic Questions

Next term we are learning about the Olympics. We were only 2 or 3 years old last time the Olympics were happening. We have been searching on Google to find out a little bit about the Olympics.

Read the great questions we came up with.

As a family add more questions to our wall.

ed at the end of words

We have been learning when we write ed at the end of words.



We write ed if it has already happened.

Mrs H sent us out to take photos of us doing something. Here are some of our sentences we wrote after taking our photos.

 Daniel rolled and rolled down the hill.

Keisha painted a beautiful picture.

Jamie kicked the rugby ball high.

Diaz peered at the bottom of the slide.

It is a bit funny because it doesn't always make the 'd' sound.

They are words like jumped and landed. 

Picasso Head

We have been busy drawing self portraits to decorate the hall for our production.

Picasso painted portraits but they looked a bit funny.

 Our blog buddies at Frimley did Picasso pictures that we really liked. 

Click the link to make your own Picasso head. Remember you are meant to look a bit silly. Maybe you could make a goofy Mrs H, Mr Gifkins or Mrs Looij.

Make a Picasso Head

Here are some of the Picasso Heads children from Room 5 made of Mr G

Koru Art

We have been learning about the koru. It symbolises growth and new beginnings. We looked at koru shapes that are found in ferns. Lots of us remember seeing them when we go on bush walks. Some of us even had ferns in our gardens at home.

We had fun making new colours with the dye. Our art looks amazing and Mrs H is so proud of how we all did our personal best.
