The Iron Man

The Iron Man by Zara

First we read the first chapter of a book called the Iron Man by Ted Hughes!   Then we drew a robot.  Next we coloured in some parts of the robot!  Then we dyed them.  When we put them on the wall they will look fantastic!  You have to be careful when you dye art because you might get dye on yourself.  The Iron Man is really big!  We love the book so far because it is very exciting with lots of cliffhangers.  The author chooses lots of wow words when describing the plot and characters.

Scatter Ball

Create your own video slideshow at animoto.com.

Our class often plays scatter ball against Room 11!  You have to throw 3 balls as hard as you can high and far.  If someone catches the ball you are out. Once you have thrown the ball run around the 4 cones heaps of time.  Each time you run round the cones you get points for your team.  It is an amazing game!

Comprehension Skills

We have been practicing our comprehension skills in reading lessons. One of the skills we practiced was called visualising. Our teacher read us a description of an animal. We had to listen and draw the picture that was created in our heads. Watch our movie to find out what creature we had to visualise.

Group Leader

We looked at the role of Group Leader.  We think that a Group Leader would:

• Help our team members
• Explains what to do
• Be a time keeper

A Group Leader would say:

• "Get your thinking caps on!"
• "Come on guys we've got ten minutes left."
• "Get your pencils ready."
• "Lets pack up quick and sit on the mat."
