Shared Lunch (continued)

Here are some more of our graphs.
Please have a look at our food poems on our Writers Blog which use alliteration and rhyme.

Our Shared Lunch

Today we are having a shared lunch.
We have collected information about what people would like for this lunch.
This morning we made bread rolls. We have all the fillings ready to go. Look at our graphs to see the choices we made.

Butterflies and Daffodils

We have been learning to make patterns that show reflections. These butterflies look great flying around the daffodils we made for Daffodil Day.

How do apples grow?

When we thought about what we wanted to know about healthy food at the beginning of this term, a few children asked questions about how fruit grows. Here is a Suzy's World link that has information about this. Suzy's World - apple fact sheet

Type for Gold

This is some fun for practicing your typing and your spelling.

Calendar Pictures

We've been busy working on still life pictures again.
This time we've made pastel drawings of fruit. We were looking at real fruit
on a plate, but we didn't get to eat it.
Instead we were looking at the way the light fell on the fruit. We made the pastel darker where there was shadow and lighter where the light was
shining on the fruit.
These are our calendar pictures that parents can order to buy. They make
good Christmas presents.

Thinking about Cross Country

We used a tool called wallwisher to post our ideas about the big cross country race at Kaipara Flats Sports Club on Tuesday. Ms Donnell asked us to do a PMI (Plus, Minus, Interesting). That means we wrote what was good, what was bad and what was interesting about the day.
If you click on the picture, you will be able to see it bigger to read our sentences.

What happens when you boil an egg?

We have been thinking about what happens to food when you heat it. Here are some of our ideas about how you boil an egg and what happens to an egg when you boil it.

Still Life Drawing

Today in art we did pencil drawings of fruit.
We were learning to look for the dark and light on the fruit. We were learning to look for the shadows.

Pine Cone Pals - reading instructions

The Leopards and Giraffes reading group have been learning to read instructions to make Pine Cone Pals.
David was very organised and brought pine cones and other materials from home so we could make these. Thank you, David.
It was fun and Ms Donnell said she was very impressed with how independent we all were.
