The Happiest Day of my life!

We have finally completed our RECOUNTS about the HAPPIEST DAY OF OUR LIVES. Come and visit our classroom to see the final product. We are all very proud of our first piece of published writing!

Dictionary Search!

This week we have been learning how to use a dictionary. We have realized that to use a dictionary you have to be a good reader and have strong alphabet knowledge. We worked together to find the definitions of interesting words that came from the story we are reading, MATILDA.

ANZAC DAY

Next week we will be learning about ANZAC day and about why it is so important. Have a look at this video and starting thinking!

Amazing Butterflies!!

Thousands of Monarch butterflies arrived in this cedar tree in late April 2011. They were still there three weeks later so it appears they might be staying for the winter. On sunny days they spend some time feeding on the many nearby flowers, but on rainy days they tend to huddle together in large clusters high up in the tree.

A Funny Caterpillar Movie

After working hard on our Butterfly mind maps, we enjoyed watching this funny movie. Enjoy!!

Meeting our Buddies!
