Writing descriptions




We have been learning to write descriptions this term in Room 2. Here are some photos of our shared writing. I will soon post some of the children's writing about their Mum's, Dad's, siblings and teachers.

Developmental Maths- Sorting shapes into groups

Week 1- we have been looking at shapes that are exactly the same. Here the children are putting shapes into groups to show that the shapes are the same shape and size.




Room 2 did a fantastic job of working together to finish this task. Well done!

Discovery time- Fairy Tales

Today in Discovery time, Room 2 and Room 1 talked about Fairy tales. We read Jack and the Bean Stalk and made a list of all the fairy tales we knew. We then talked about what makes a good fairy tale and we think that a fairy tale needs to start with "Once upon a time" and have fairies, princes, princesses, dragons, kings, witches and castles.
Here are some photos of some of the activities we did today!

 Here is Tobias with his Puss in Boots picture. Manaaki has made a dragon.
 Here is Manaaki, Jake and Lincoln with their dragons that breath fire.
 Jake's dragon has a "bumpy back".
 Lincolns dragon can "breath fire and fly high in the air".
 Toni has made princesses and prince finger puppets.
 Tyrone is doing a castle find-a- word.

 The above two photo's show a group of boys creating a magical fairy land using playdoh.
 Caleb is making a ginger bread man.
Nikora had a wonderful time with his "sea snake who is eating the ginger bread man". Kenny was using his fairy to help save Nikora's ginger bread man from the "horrible mean sea snake".
