Room 7's Cinderella Ball

Today Rooms 6 and 7 each had our very own Cinderella's Ball. The Balls were to celebrate our hard work during our Fairy Tales theme this term. The Ball began with a writing activity where we had to imagine what we would do if we had our own Fairy Godmother, like Cinderella. We came up with some fantastic and creative ideas. After some delicious treats at recess we played a Prince and Princess 'groups of' game for multiplication and listened to the story of Cinderella. At lunch time we feasted on our wonderful banquet. We would like to thank all of our families for the effort they went into providing such wonderful food for us to enjoy. It truly was a great feast! After lunch we made some art to go with our writing from the morning, which is now hanging in our classroom.  Finally we played some games of musical bobs and musical statues. We had such a wonderful day and were all on our very best behaviour, Miss Wallace was most impressed!

Geography Nature Walk

This Term in Geography Room 7 have been learning all about the natural and man made environments around us. We have looked at many features found in each of these environments and compared their similarities and differences. Last week we went for a walk to the Nursery Park to discover what we could see, hear, feel and smell using our senses. We discussed which features of the park were natural and which were made made. When we returned to class we wrote down what we had experienced at the park. We saw trees, flowers, a bridge, birds and flies. We could hear cars, people and birds. We could feel grass, bottle brush flowers, a tree with spikes and smooth stone. We could smell flowers and grass. 

Book Week

In week 5 it was Book Week at Yanchep Beach Primary School. The week consisted of many fun and engaging book related activities. These included designing a poster all about our favourite author, retelling our story "The Little Yellow Dragon" to Mrs Hoskins and meeting a real author, Erica Bentel, who shared two of her books with us. Then on Friday we all got to dress up as our favourite book character and have a parade at assembly. When we returned back to class the whole school and some community members participated in DEAR (drop everything and read). We all stopped everything we were doing at 9.45am and listened to a story. We had such a great time during book week!

Room 7's Assembly "Jamie In Schools"

In week 3 we had our assembly, "Jamie In Schools". We had been learning all about healthy eating during Health last term and applied what we had learnt into our assembly item. We now know the difference between healthy foods and sometimes foods. We also learnt about some of the vitamins and and minerals fruits and vegetables give us. In our assembly item we all had a speaking role and Miss Wallace was so proud of how well we performed on the day and practised, both at home and at school. We would also like to thank Zoe's mum for making our amazing masks, they looked fantastic and we really appreciate the time you spent on making them for us.

The Zoo Excursion

In Week 10 we went to the Zoo with Room 6 as we had been studying animals all term. We were able to find all of the different types of animals we had learnt about including the reptiles, African animals, jungle animals and Australian animals. We even saw the old bear enclosure which we had talked about in History when comparing enclosures from the past, to enclosures in the present. We had such a great day and bus ride home was very quiet as we were all so tired, some of us even fell asleep. 

 

  

    

Teddy Bears Picnic

In Week 10 we had a Teddy Bears Picnic with our buddy class, Room 15. Unfortunately, due to the weather we couldn't go to the park but we still had a fantastic time. We read to our buddies and they read to us and asked us comprehension questions. When we had finished reading, we ate fruit kebabs that we made earlier that day following a procedure in writing. We had a wonderful afternoon at our Teddy Bears Picnic.  

Buddies with Room 15's Year 5/6's

In Week 8 we all met with our buddies to plan a fiction story on a story board. We needed to choose our characters and settings before writing a problem and the events of our stories. On the day of the schools official opening half of our class used 'Puppet Pals' on the iPads to act out the stories we had planned. The other half of us demonstrated some of the skills we have practised in sport this year with our buddies. We all did really well and had a fantastic time.
