Rosie in the Secret Garden and Sandcastles in the Sky!

Rosie has made it to the garden. We brought her out on Tuesday. She looks great in the garden!

Her husband Jack lives in the garden too. She can keep on eye on him now!

While we were in the garden we had a look at the growth.

We saw the herbs we planted before Easter. They are growing well.

Some of the Indian daisies we planted are growing slowly.

We saw potatoes, spring onions, peas, raspberries, gooseberries and more!

Thanks for all your help in the garden John.

When we went back to the class we wrote Rosie is in the Secret Garden and drew fantastic pictures.

Sandcastles

We painted sandcastles last week using yellow paint. We then used blue for the sky.

This week we used sponges and white paint to put clouds in the sky. We put glue on the yellow paint and sprinkled sand on top. We glued a lollipop stick and a piece of fabric on top of the sandcastle to make a flag.

Don't they look fantastic?!

Writing

We learned to write three new letters this week.

We learned to write the letter j.

You start at the dot and go down, down under the line, kick it back and put a dot on top.

We learned to write the letter x.

You start at the dot and slant down, slant down.

We learned to write the letter z.

You start at the dot and go straight back, slant down and go straight back.

Now we can write every letter! We practised writing them again.

We also did another sentence in our writing copies.

I look for the little red bear.

Sight

We learned about our eyes this week. We can look and see with our eyes.

We played games with our partners. One child did actions and the other child had to be their mirror. It was great fun!

We talked about what it would be like if our eyes didn't work. Some of us had a turn wearing a blindfold.

We noticed that some people wear glasses to help them see better. Some of us tried on teacher's glasses!

Money

We can recognise the 1c, 2c and 5c coins. 

We can sort them.

We know how much 1c coins we need to buy different things.

We know what we can buy with 3c and 4c.

Five Little Ducks

We sing the counting song Five Little Ducks. Sing along!

We had to make sure our picture had five little ducks in it.
