Written Language Work

As part of our work around our Inquiry into Identity we discussed the What If Question - What if we all looked the same? Then we decided we could change just one thing about ourselves- our hair. We drew what we would like our hair to look like and used this as the planning and motivation for our story writing. We tried to use some good descriptive language in our writing. 

Read our stories and see if you can imagine what we would look like. 


My hair will be curly like Harlequin. My hair will be beautiful because it is curly. I love my hair because it is shiny. Monique

My hair has got shaved on the sides and on my head it is long. Also I have a Mohawk on the inside of my hair and want it to shoot out lightning. It will be sparkly and colourful. Dominic F

Maths Learning

In maths we have been learning groupings that make ten. We played fun maths games to help with our learning.











Swimming

We have been lucky enough to have had swimming instructors for the last two weeks. The focus was very much on water safety. We learnt ways to stay afloat, safety around beaches and pools and built on our confidence in the water.
