Group Box Activities

I am learning to choose an activity to play and explain the rules.

Kevan "Colour bingo, the person has to hold the paint brushes. Whatever the caller pulls out the people need to put the paintbrushes in the paint jar. I like it because it is colourful."

What's The Time Mr Wolf?

I am learning to tell the time by knowing the different parts of an analog clock.

Kevan " The long hand is the minutes and the short hand is the hours"

Acrostic Poem

I am learning to write an Acrostic poem by using describing words.

Lots of legs

Antennas

Detailed spots

Yummy leaves

Blue ladybug

Under leaves

Garden

Kevan " Describing words are the words that describe what things look like."

Collage Ladybug

Here we sketched ladybugs onto black paper. Then we cut out the ladybugs and leaves. We added spots and strips to add detail to our ladybugs and leaves. It was very time consuming when it came to gluing all the pieces together, but we done it!

Kevan "It was fun doing the wing, we need to stick the wings onto the ladybug's black body.  It was hard doing the spots to cut it like a circle. I liked the wings because I like flying. I would have cut the spots more beautifully if I would do it again.

Memorable Moment

I am learning to write about a funny moment

Kevan " I like writing about my family, it was easy to come up with what I wanted to write about. I kind of find it hard to write some words but most words I can spell."

WOW Words

Here we made a monster blob and wrote about our scary monsters from the book The Grumble Rumble Mumbler. We were learning to use Wow words in our story to make it more interesting.

Kevan " I used the words like long and big describe my monster." 

Maths Game

 This is one of my favourite maths games to play during         maths tumble.

Kevan "I like the counters because they have some of my favourite colours. It's about finding the shape on the wheel. If you have the shape on the wheel, then you turn it and if you don't get a shape of the wheel then you don't cover it."

St John Ambulance

Last week St John Ambulance came to our school. Mac the Paramedic showed us what an emergency looks like and when we should call 111.

We were allowed to have a turn with the oxygen mask. This helps people in an event of an emergency when people are not well and are short of breathe.

Reading Eggs

Reading Eggs is an online reading program that helps children learn to read. Hundreds of online reading lessons, phonics games and books to read.

Kevan "I like the word finding lesson when you find the letter m. I like the one when you drag the words to the pictures."

Bubble Wands

This week Room 5 made bubble wands.  They wanted to see if different shaped wands made different shaped bubbles.

We discovered that no matter what shape the bubble wands were, the bubble will always come out in the shape of a sphere.

Bubbles

For inquiry we are learning all about Bubbles.

We are learning what bubbles are made out of and describing what they look like too!

Here we were making bubbles to help us describe bubbles by using our five senses.

Sunshine Online Reading

Sunshine Online Reading

During our reading rotation we get the chance to go on sunshine online to read other books and do activities that are suited to our reading level.

Why do you like this game? "because it helps me with my reading" Kevan

ICT Tagul - Word Cloud

The ratty tatty cat was listening to the ratty tatty feet. 

At Elm Park School we have buddy classes, where a junior class is buddied up with a senior class. Room 5’s buddy class is Room 24 with Miss Hughes.

Room 5 was fortunate to have their buddy class help them do a word cloud on the laptop called Tagul.

With the help of our buddy class we were able to come up with our own word cloud that was related to the Big book Ratty Tatty Cat.

Check out what I wrote and designed.

Kevan "It was good because I liked choosing the colour blue"

Big Book Writing Response

We read the big book Shoo Fly. Here is my writing about the book.

Kevan " I like writing about this story because I liked the book"

Independent Writing

In Room 5 we are learning to write independently. 

Look what I can do all by myself.

Writing Numbers

In room 5 we have been learning to write the numbers around the right way look what I can do.

I Am Swimming

I am learning to float with the kick board.
