My Showcase - Music with Mrs D

Swimming Term 1

This term  we are learning to be safe around the water.

I am practising getting in and out of the pool safely, float on my back,  use a noodle and a flutter-board correctly and hold my breath underwater.

Book Character Day

I am Elsa from Frozen.

Blowing Bubbles

I Am Learning to Draw Sunflowers

We planted sunflower seeds. They are beginning to grow. We drew a sunflower to show what we hope will grow on our plants.

Blob Bugs

We used paint to paint three blobs, then we squashed our paper in half. When it was dry we added legs, wings, antennae and eyes.

Our Big Book Activity - The Snake Cake

We have been reading the big book 'The Snake Cake' and decided that we would make a snake cake  too.  We spread pink icing on the biscuits and stuck them together so they looked liked a snake.  

Then we put some blue icing on the top and M & M's too.  

Then we ate it.  It was delicious!

My Art Exhibition Masterpiece

This term we painted pictures for the 

Elm Park School Art Exhibition 2015.

The focus of our artwork was experimenting with different painting techniques, blending and shading colours together and creating repeating patterns.

To create our 'flower masterpiece' we practised mixing different shades of the same colour to create the wavy lines.  Then we used black vivid to create a repeating pattern.  We had fun putting our pictures together to create a whole flower - this was the best part!

Come along to see our artwork on display in the auditorium, during school hours, between the 

25th and 27th of August 2015.

100 Days Smarter!

On the 23rd July 2015 Room 5 celebrated 100 days of school.  

We had a small class celebration, made crowns and wrote about our favourite things to do at school.

We are now 100 days smarter!!!

Grandparents Day

Today was grandparents day when our grandparents got to come into school and help us make a Christmas lantern decoration.  When we had finished our decorations we read stories from our publishing books.

This is my Grandad, he surprised me with a visit to class. In this picture I am reading him one of my stories from my publishing book.  Thank you for coming Grandad!
