In art we have been adding the features to our portraits and prepared a background of warm and cool colours for the finished works to be mounted on.
We played some memory games this week which was also a good opportunity to practice our skills of turn taking and relating to others.
We had a visitor from another animal group on Friday when Matty the water snail made an appearance in class.
Earlier in the week a mysterious masked friend arrived in class. this gave us an idea to do mask making in Discovery Time this week.
In writing times we have been busy ilustrating our publised stories and......
On Thursday Lilly brought in some Monarch butterflies on a swan plant. We already have 2 cocoons and hope to eventually see the butterflies emerge from these.
We did some great observational drawings of the cocoons as well.
This video clip describes the life cycle of the Monarch butterfly...it is amazing to watch.
This picture was taken whilst we were out and about looking for things that we could see around school as part of our probability work in maths. ...just such a fun picture I could not resist adding it to this blog post!

Hello Room 10,
ReplyDeleteThis is Fin's Opa again. Hello Fin!
Wow. Six weeks of term are gone. Already you are more than half way through this term and have only 5 weeks until the Easter holidays.
I liked the masks you made. Some were a little scary!
And I wonder how long you will have Monarch butterflies flying around for. Last year, we had Monarchs around the whole year long.
See ya
Opa
Hello everyone,
ReplyDeleteI hope you didn't get too wet this weekend. Thomas and I were really sad the the weetbix triathlon was cancelled but we still and fun. We went to the trolley derby and then played board games on Sunday....Thomas won!!
I can't wait to see what our caterpillars have been up to over the weekend!
Im looking forward to another great week in room 10.

Hi there room 10
ReplyDeletethanks for sharing all the wonderful things you have been doing in class.
I love being able to see what you get up to all day long and it makes me want to come and join in too.
I'm pleased you are all enjoying having the caterpillars in your class and was wondering if you could come up with some names for them before they hatch!
look forward to seeing the next week of amazing activities
