Daffodil Day

Here we are wearing yellow on Daffodil Day!

Popcorn Poems

We have all written popcorn poems. We have also made popcorn pictures on Kid Pix. This is what we have to show so far.

Popcorn

Listen to our voice thread to hear our ideas about what makes popcorn pop. We talked about this before we watched a Suzy's World DVD and popped some popcorn ourselves.
We did enjoy eating the popcorn afterwards. Thank you Mrs Parris for lending us your popcorn machine.
We have written explanations of why popcorn pops and now we have read the poems we wrote on this voice thread. We hope you enjoy listening to them.

We love vegetables

Here are our still life vegetable pictures.
We looked at the work of other artists.
We looked at photos of vegetables. We noticed that some of the vegetables were partly hidden behind other vegetables.
Some of the vegetables had been cut so you could see inside.
We used pastels and created our own pictures.
Some of us used pastels in different ways to create different effects.
We hope you enjoy looking at them.

Bad Jelly the Witch - our teacher for a day

On Friday we all dressed up as a book character and it was fun. We had Bad Jelly for our teacher and Mrs Todd read to us. I hope Bad Jelly doesn't come back. by Tom

Storytelling online

I just have to show you this website, especially as it is LIBRARY WEEK.
It has wonderful stories read by actors.
It also has one of my favourite books from last year, "Guji Guji" by Chih-Yuan Chen.
Please try it out.

Our Healthy Breakfast

Today Room 2 had a morning of a healthy breakfast. We all had a great morning. Do you know what we had? We had weet-bix and porridge and a little bit of brown sugar. by Tenaija
We also could have stewed apple or peaches and we could put a little sprinkle of cinnamon on the top if we wanted.
The last picture is our brainstorm of ideas for words to describe the taste of the food we ate today. Ms Donnell recorded for us using the mimio.
We have each made our own menu recording our ideas for a healthy breakfast.

The Food Pyramid

Today we learnt about different food groups using this food pyramid interactive site.
Connor's question last week was: Why do you need to eat healthy food. We found some answers here.

The link to the Breakfast Detective game is on the side bar.

More food! (Art today & eating)

Today Ms Donnell brought lots of fruit to school.
First we used it to to look at and draw.
After play we got to eat it.
Yum! Yum!

What is food? Part 2

Today we looked in our class dictionaries to find the word food. This is what it said:
food
anything that you eat to keep you alive and to help you grow
Does this answer our question? Do we understand the answer?
Yes it does. The dictionary was a good place for us to look to find the answer to this question.
