Making Piklets

From this to this.

Today was Miss Uden's last day. She kindly made piklets with us so that we could use the butter that we made at Howick Historical village. They smelt and tasted delicious!

Making Minion Mats

We made Minion Mats. In the olden days they made floor rugs. It was a challenging activity tying all those knots using strips of cotton material with Minion characters on them. We tied them onto garden matting. Well done Room 24 for persevering until the job was done!

3D shapes

Aston

Miss Uden gave us match sticks and plasticine to make a 3D shape. The plasticine was very tricky to work with.

Old fashion irons

We had a wonderful trip learning about old fashion Technology. It was very hands on and a unique place to learn about the past so that we can appreciate the present.

Diwali

Diwali began with Mrs Dijkstra reading us a story and then Mrs Nagpal called us up to add coloured rice to the Rangoli design sketched on the table. When finished it looked amazing with the Diva light resting in the middle.
Meanwhile Miss Uden worked with groups of children using DAS modelling clay to make a Diva lamp. They are drying and we will paint them tomorrow.
We also coloured Rangoli patterns and mounted them on contrasting coloured card.
It was a special and different day and we really appreciated Mrs Nagpal visiting our room to help us experience Diwali.

Kelly Sport

 On such a gorgeous day we went out onto the field with Room 22 to trial a range of activities supplied and supervised by Kelly Sport. It was so much fun. We tried to throw a ball at the wickets, kick a soccer ball, jump over hurdles and more. We each got a sticker and a pamphlet.

Literacy Week - Part 3

Thanks to the Grandparents of Isaac, Amelia, Alexandra and parents of Aayush and Charlotte, that came to the classroom and read to the children. It was a special time.
