More powerpoints - Part 2

Our writing about the Hiab

Room 2 went outside to have a look at the builders working.  We saw a hiab truck.  It lifted an office up and it placed the office down.  At the end Eva got a jacket and helmet on.

Today my class and I went to see the work that was the rebuilding Room 9 and 10.  When we got on to the grass on the field, it was cold and windy. After that we saw workers put walls and wallpaper into a big container.  When we were looking at the builders we saw hard hats on their heads to protect their heads.  When we were looking at the pink string I realised that was going to be the toilets!
After that we drew pictures of the hiab truck that had the office on it.  We were looking at the office and when the builders put the chain on, it lifted the office. We were watching the office and when it was coming down the workers carefully put it on the ground. After that we went back into class to have our morning tea.  When we had finished our morning tea we had a little play on the playground. Before that Eva put on a jacket and a hard hat. After that we wrote about what we saw.

In Room 2 we have been sketching. Today we have sketched a cool truck.  This truck has a crane on the back of it. It is really cool.

Room 9 and 10
I saw some men on the roof and men on the ground. I saw a lady doing something by the toilets.  I saw five windows and one was open. I saw some ladders. One was for the two men on the roof and one was just leaning on the wall of Room 9 and the last one I saw was one for a man who was taking something down from the roof inside.
This morning Room 2 are doing sketching again because we want to see if there is some different work on Room 9 and 10 and the toilets! We sketched where the toilets are.  We started sketching. Oh wait!
A man is walking where the toilets are! He told us there was a hiab truck coming soon because they would like an office.  It's coming....  We're waiting... Still waiting... Yay! It's here!

I made a pic collage.

Emily and Molly

At reading time we had to do a reading activity on the Ipad, about our book called The spider who wanted spots. We did who, where, when and what. We chose a background that looks like a spider web and we also wrote some sentences so people knew what the story was about. When we had  finished we showed Mrs Scott and she was super happy!      

More Interesting speeches!

Dylan spoke to us about a hobby of his called Motocross.  He showed us a photo of his motocross bike and he brought in his boots and protective gear and his helmet. We think Dylan is lucky to have a motorbike to ride on. Dylan spoke clearly and he knew what he was talking about! Interesting speech Dylan.

Martin talked about Lego.  He likes playing at home with his Lego in his room.  He can make a city with lots of homes and cars.  Martin usually plays by himself with his Lego.  He spoke loud enough for us to hear. Good speech thanks Martin!

Rugby is the sport that Rome plays in winter.  Rome shared some information about who he plays with and what his rugby gear looks like.  He plays for the Tigers and the rugby shirt is orange and black... like a tiger!  One day Rome might play for the Warriors! Interesting speech, Rome.

What an exciting weekend Emily had!  Emily's speech was about the Jump Jam Regionals that the school Jump Jam team competed in.  Her team came first and they had a lot of fun wearing face paint and dressing up as animals! Emily spoke clearly and she remembered her speech without any prompt cards. Good work Emily.

Shamille has a favourite movie that she spoke about for her speech.  She watches it at home with her Mum and her little brother.  The movie is about some fairies and Shamille likes it because the fairies are beautiful.  Thank you for sharing Shamille.

Korey does BMX riding at Minogue Park.  Korey had some help to share his speech about what its like to do BMX riding. It sounds like fun and Korey is a safe rider so that he doesn't fall off! 

Steven has got an Xbox as his place!  He plays on the Xbox with his uncles and he said its only for the boys!!!  Mrs Scott thinks she might like a turn!  Steven spoke clearly and knew what he wanted to share.  Great work Steven. You have not been speaking English as long as most of Room 2 children!

Zayne brought some of his cars and his garage to talk  about.  He did a very good job of telling us how the cars can go up and down. He even demonstrated with one of his cars.  Zayne looked at the audience sometimes and his speech was interesting. 

Superman cake!

Karearea Reading Task

The children in Karearea reading group worked independently on the iPads to do a character study.  First they read the book "Bend, Stretch and Leap" and identified Tommy as the main character.  Then they put the information they could find about Tommy onto a Pic Collage. They found a picture of Tommy in the book and snipped around it so that he was the only one in the photo. Very clever!

 

Some of the information has gone behind the heart - oh no!
I like the photo you chose of Tommy. Good work!

Your information looks great, Molly. You found out a lot about Tommy. Maybe you could have labelled the picture of Jessica so we know who she is?

Good work boys - You found some facts about what Tommy likes! You can practise changing the size of words so that important words are the biggest.  Maybe the title could have been bigger?

Emily, I like the creative way you have placed your information about Tommy. Great work! Maybe you could add a title for your work.  

A scary spider!

We have been practising writing our story straight on to the iPad. We know that there are some spelling mistakes but we had to save our work as a photo! We hope you can still understand what we wanted to say.

Starfish poem

We read a poem about a starfish this week.

We watched some video clips and learnt a lot of facts about starfish or Sea Stars, as they are also called.  You can also hear a story about starfish.

What do you think the story means?

Giant Stories

Today the boys and girls in Karearea reading group did some of their learning on the iPad.

They took photos of the giants and wrote about them.  They thought about whether all giants were the same or different.
