Triangles using Mr Wolf- What's the time


Using 'into the book' to assist our reading

Into the bookhttp://reading.ecb.org/
We are going to be doing some vizualising.   

Visualising is like creating a movie in your mind while you read. You try to see, feel, hear and even smell what is going on.  Your mind movie helps you remember what you've read and it's fun!

Try out your calendar knoweldge

Capital E Arts Festival

We had a real selection of performances to appreciate.  It isn't easy to capture images  as taking photos of live performances is not always possible.

Here are a few.  Tell your parents about them and help them visualise the "The Man  and the Seesaw" by showing them his stage and explaining what he did.

Tickling our taste buds and fueling our fires

What a great afternoon of exploration.  29 different fruits and vegetables were smelt, prodded, and tasted.  The students were asked to name the item, state if they had tasted it before, rate it in its taste and say if it was a fruit or vegetable.



    
                                             A great chance for many to try new things.
