Troy's Favourite Video Game

Click the recording below to hear Troy read is story. Troy has been learning to read with expression.

I played hundred of video games, my favorite is spelling bee on study ladder. This is a game about learning to spell some words within a short time. I can play with other children around the world. The best part about the game is I can learn new words every day. It is fun, because while playing, I can collect bonus points. In the end, I get certificates. Give the game a shot and I’m sure, in no time you’ll agree with me.

Aidan

We grabbed a piece of fruit out of our bag, took it to our desk and we tried to draw it's shape. We tried to shade it. I felt surprised because it was tricky to draw the shape of the fruit. 

Bradley

Our attempts at still life looked really good for starters. I am surprised at how some people did some of the pictures. 

Finn

I draw pictures of different kinds of food. I draw with the pencil. I coloured some of the food. My pictures look good. 

Jordan

I found The still life art hard at first and the fruit on the chopping board was really hard for me but the art look alright now. 

Our Vegetable Patch by Anchorage Park Room 1

This week we went to our veggie patch with room 2 to plant some carrots, brussel sprouts and cauliflower. First we dug a trench for the carrot seeds. The seeds were in a paper ribbon so we put it in the trench and then covered them up. Next some people dug holes for the brussel sprouts and cauliflower plants and put them in and covered the bottom of them. At the end we put a bird net over our veggie patch so the birds don't eat our seeds or delicious vegetables.

Working and playing hard by Anchorage Park Room 1

Today we wrote about the animals that we have been studying from the Savannah.  We used the smart board to find the right words or letters to match the sentence'.  The smart board only says our sentence when we press the full stop.

Later on we had 'Developmental' and we played with our new purple kinetic sand, built with Lego and practiced our fine motor skills linking up a barrel of monkeys. It was really fun! You can build up the sand then it starts to slowly collapse. We loved playing and watching it.

Taking Turns in a Number Game by Howick Intermediate Satellite

I needed to wait my turn and watch and make sure l counted the boxes correctly up or down the board.

Visit to kelly Tarltons by Nikhil

On Tuesday, we went to Kelly Tarltons to look, discover and enjoy ourselves. I went there with my friends and the teachers. There were sharks, penguins, star fishes, jelly fishes, and lot more. I saw a giant squid in a glass box. When it was time to see sting ray feeding we sat around the big tank and watch it. After that, we had our morning tea and went to see the sharks. It was scary to see them swimming around us.It was so fun going through the tunnel to see the penguins.
