Our Rocket Artwork

Rocket Art - Free Slideshow Maker

Yesterday we did rocket artwork with Michael. We drew our rockets on gray paper, coloured them in and then cut them out. Then we had to draw a sun that was yellow with a smiley face on it. Gracie's sun had a sad face because the rocket was catching it. We glued our rockets and suns onto a black piece of paper and drew stars on the black paper to look like the night sky.

Bye Jane!

Jane was our student teacher for 3 weeks. She left on Friday. When Jane left, she gave us some silly bands and some pencils. We got to choose what colour we wanted. The colours were pink, purple, orange, green, red, yellow and dark blue.

We gave Jane a card.

Jane was a good teacher. We learned heaps of things. I learned that you can't share thirds with ten (Charlotte).

Bye Jane. We loved having you in our class. We all miss you. You taught us a lot. We will miss you and hope you will come and see us soon. I hope you like the thing that you gave us. We liked what you gave us too.

Matariki

Yesterday we played some Matariki games. The tiaha stick was for strengthening your wrists. We had to try and try until we could use the sticks properly. It was fun at Matariki game time.

On Friday we are going to have a shared lunch to celebrate Matariki. Remember to bring some lunch to share. Parents are welcome too.

Drama

We went to drama. It was very exciting. Michael was the teacher. Michael if Forrest's Dad. It was fun at drama because we acted. It was fun when we played "You" because Michael kept on walking with his hand out straight. Michael had a want that made us turn into a giant, frog and Jack from Jack and the Bean Stalk. Michael is funny. We are looking forward to next time!

Shadows

We stood really still and drew around our shadow. The first time we did it, the sun was behind the clouds and it did not work. The second we went around the back and it was sunny and it worked. They looked skinny, long and black. We drew them twice. The second time they looked different. It looked longer. It was going to a different way to your first shadow.

We think they looked different because the sun has moved.

What is a shadow?

We read a book about shadows. We are going to make some shadows, tomorrow. We asked some questions like does the sun come up everyday? Does the sun come up even when it's cloudy. The sun is hiding behind the clouds. We think we still have shadows even when it's cloudy and the sun is hiding behind the clouds.

Do you still have shadows at night time when it's dark? Your homework is to find out!

Fractions

We are learning about fractions. Last week we learned about halves. This week we are learning about quarters. Ask me about them at home!
