The Incredibles Art

This week we have done some art. We are doing Eric Carle art. We painted the background which is the sky and the garden for our flowers. We had white, yellow red and blue paint. We mixed all the colours to make brown. It was tricky to have the right amounts of colours to make it go brown. We think we did a pretty good job!

Next, we are going to stick the flowers on our paintings and make some bugs to go in our garden. We can’t wait to make our bugs!

Student Lead Conference Practise

Today we have been practising our student lead conferences. It was exciting because we are going to tell our parents what we learnt. We went in pairs with buddies and we talked about what we have been learning in our portfolios. We tell our mum and dads what we did, what we were learning and getting better at, how you know you are getting better at it and how I can keep getting better. It was fun practising. We are getting better at it.

Ronald MacDonald

Ronald MacDonald - slide show

Today we had a big surprise. Ronald MacDonald came to Russell Street School. He came to Russell Street School because he wanted to teach us about road safety and to find his red and white sock.

Ronald MacDonald had a big book. The book was about finding his lost sock. He had to cross roads and driveways in the story. We helped Ronald MacDonald cross the roads safely. We learnt to stop, look and listen when we are crossing the road or a sneaky driveway. Ronald MacDonald had a song and it was called Make It Click. It was about putting your seatbelt on when you get in the car.

When he left he said “hasta la vista, baby!” Ronald was really funny!

Our new class member

We have a new member in our class. Her name is Calais. Sophie and Charlotte have been great friends because they play with her at brunch and lunch. She has just moved from Wanganui. She is very cool. Welcome to The Incredibles, Calais.

Cross Country Practice

Today we did cross country practice. It was fun. We have to run around the whole school without stopping. You have to run slowly so that at the end you can run really fast. If you ran really fast at the beginning you wouldn't be able to run all the way and you would go slowly at the end so you won't be able to come first, second or third. When Lou claps that when you go. The whole school did the cross country practice.

First day of Term 2

Today at school it was the first day of term 2. It was really exciting to be back and to see our friends at school.

We started the day with a big book and a poem. We chose a Incredible Person who was Vincent. Congratulations Vincent! We had Discovery Time. We had lots of fun activities. It was exciting at Discovery Time.

After Discovery Time we wrote about our holidays. We talked in our buzz groups before writing. We had to include lots of detail. Adding detail is important because if you just write one thing it is not enough because we don't know what you did that much and the person reading your story wouldn't understand your writing.

Here are some photos of us concentrating on our writing.

Eric Carle Art

Eric Carle is an author. He wrote “The Very Hungry Caterpillar”. Eric Carle doesn’t just do one colour he does lots of colours. He uses more detail when he does the garden and the trees. He uses patterns on his colours. He doesn’t just paint with a paint brush. We think he might use coloured paper, rollers, sponges and tooth picks. We are going to start making flowers and make a big garden. We wait till tomorrow!!!
