Author of the week

Hi I am Jordan I am the author of the week this week.

Today and yesterday we had Mr Mason for our teacher because Mrs McDonald is away. We have been working on our brain activities and our reports - everyone really wants to get them finished to get pingers. We did lots of drama activities and music with Mr Mason and he even showed us one of his songs that he wrote - it was really cool!!!

Story Time with Mr McDonald

Hi my name is Emma J and I am author of the week. Each day I will be writing some information about what happened each day. Today we have been working on cooperative skills on the book Emily's art by Peter Catalanotto. In our groups we have been given a set of questions we have to answer on that book. We were supposed to be swimming today but due to only 9 people having their togs we couldn't go ): So instead we listened to some talks. After that we went to the computer pod and we worked on our brain power posters. They are going to look really brilliant. After lunch we had MR.Mcdonald reading 'dear as salt' it was very funny, he had to speak in a girl voice for it. We have a video of him reading 'dear as salt'.

Art workshop

We gained some new skills at the art workshop on Wednesday. We learnt about shading, setting the limits of the picture and estimating proportions by looking at fractions in relation to the shapes in the picture. Most felt a great sense of achievement and produced some great still life drawings.
