Our furry feathered class visitor!

Today we had Savannah's chicken come and visit us in class.  We thought she was cute and that her feathers were so soft to touch!

Planting Sunflowers

Today we read the story 'Jasper's Beanstalk' by Nick Butterworth and Mick Inkpen

Then we planted some sunflower seeds instead of beans - hopefully they will grow in time for the Christmas holidays and we can take them home to plant in our gardens.

Keep watching and we'll keep you posted on how our sunflowers are doing!

This video clip is of 'The Tiny Seed' by Eric Carle :

Discovery Time

On Friday we read the reading book 'The Impossible Bridge'.

After reading it we decided to learn about bridges - then we made bridges out of Lego, Mobilio, cardboard boxes, skewers, wood, paper, straws and ice block sticks.

 Some of us then went to You Tube to find out how bridges are built and how to draw different kinds of bridges.  Here are some of our suspension bridge pictures :

Calendar Art

This year for our calendar art Room 13 students got to choose from three pieces of art that we have been working on during Term 3 and the start of Term 4.  The sunset pictures are from when we looked at 'Cowboys', the owl pictures are from when we had Martin Waddell as our Author of the Week and we read his book 'Owl Babies' and the fish pictures were done this term after reading 'The Rainbow Fish' by Marcus Pfister - for these pictures we looked at warm and cool colours.

Here are the pictures that we chose for our individual calendar art :
