Dr Seuss Poems

We have written and illustrated some poems inspired by Dr Seuss. We were each given a chunk and had to brainstorm all the words which had that chunk. Then we wrote a poem from those words. We think they look fantastic! Come and see our display outside our classroom. They will be moving to the library in Wk 10 to stay on display all year.

Book Week Mufti Day

Today was mufti day. We all came dressed as book characters to celebrate Book Week. We have been reading lots of Dr Seuss stories and even wrote our own poems. The library has had lots of special events on during lunchtime and had a drawing competition.

Today we tried a Papaya or Pawpaw

Today we tried a papaya. We are learning about how our food gets from the field to the table. Papaya was first grown in Mexico. It grows on a tall tree, a bit like a coconut tree. We used all our senses to get a whole experience of this unusual fruit. Most of us liked how it tasted, even though it smelt like sick.

Squash

Today we had our first taste of the sport Squash. We had to practise our racquet and ball skills. We tried to balance a ball on a racquet and bounce a ball on the racquet. This required lots of hand to eye co-ordination!
