See you tomorrow.

Tuesday 22/7/14

Today we logged on to plateau school website then we checked the notices. We had news then we finished our writing and author circles and spelling words.

 Then it was morning tea time. After morning tea we did reading then we did  maths. 

After lunch time we went to the library and a dog ran to the window we took the dog in our class room then our teacher read a story.

Tessa and Mrs Brattle were dressed as twins today, right down to their ugg boot slippers.

Today's blog was written by Danielle and Garrett

Body percussion challenge.

For music appreciation Mr Sheehan showed us some body percussion performances. He then set us the challenge of creating our own pieces. We had to work in groups and here's what we came up with.

We hoped you enjoyed our performances, we worked really hard at them. 

Monday 21st of July.

Today was the first day back after the holidays. We are now in term 3!  First thing this morning we logged onto our Plateau School website, the Ultranet page had been updated and was all new. 

We all got into a circle and had REALLY long news, everyone had loads to share about their holidays but we all managed to listen very well and enjoyed the stories from our class mates.

By the time our news had finished it was nearly morning tea time. Mrs Brattle let us have our morning tea a bit early.

After we ate our morning tea some people did the Twister dance.

When we came back from morning tea we did writing, we added some more to our neighbourhood maps and wrote in a new story. 

Then we did some author circles, these are a new way of sharing our ideas and work with our peers.

Some people had mentioned in the morning that a lady overseas had made a dress out of loom bands and sold it for enough money to buy a house! This sounded very interesting, so for reading we searched on the internet and found some news articles about this loom dress. Here is the article we read.

These girls spent their lunch time practicing a dance to show us. We were very impressed with their moves, well done girls.

After lunch we had some games in the hall, it was good to have a run around and stay warm. Then it was back to class to tidy up, get our reading logs and pack up for home time. Before we went home Mrs Brattle shared a postcard with us. It was from Riley and her family, we were so excited to hear from her and receive our postcard from Hong Kong. 

What a great start to term 3, I wonder what tomorrow will bring?

Art with Kirsten Herd. 21/05/14

Today we were very lucky to have Kirsten (Tessa's Mum) come in to help us create some art work that shows our faces and the different expression that express our emotions.

Here we are working on our faces to show our different emotions.

Kirsten showed us some famous artists and their work, we practised making our different faces and looked at some artwork on our interactive whiteboard.

We had to work very hard and follow a lot of instructions, but we think you will all agree the finished product was well worth it.

Thankyou so very much Kirsten ,we were super lucky to  have you come and spend time with us in Kiwi Class.
