Creation Story

We have been learning about the Story of the Creation. Miss Smith read the story to us from the Bible. We then talked about all the things God made.
We made up a list of the events that happened on each of the days.

This is the display that we worked together to make.

Wild Animals!

We have started work on our second topic for this term which is 'In the Wild'.  We worked in pairs to come up with a list of as many wild animals as we could think of.




What do farm animals eat?


In order to help us understand the kinds of foods eaten by farm animals, we were given a selection of different foodstuffs in labelled jars from one of our parents.  There was silage, hay, barley and many more.  We passed them round and had a look at them.  Some of the more brave amongst us had a sniff too.  Some of them smelled quite nice, but there were others that we didn't really like the smell of!

Teamwork!

The Story of Wool

We have been learning all about the story of wool and how it gets from the sheep to the jumper.  We made our own books to tell the story.  Here we are making our books.

Aboriginal Dreamtime Dancing

We went into the hall this afternoon to work on some movements for our dreamtime dance.  Some of us came up with some ideas of movements we could make, and we showed them to the class.  Then we got to do them all together in time to the beat.  There was a kangaroo, a crocodile, an ostrich, a wombat, an emu, a flying fox, a wallaby and a platypus.  Can you tell who is being which animal?

Measure

We are learning about measuring. We lined up in order of height to see who was the tallest and shortest.


                  


We can measure using hand spans.




We can compare lengths
