Learning with Play-doh!

Today we learned our spelling words using play-doh!

We worked with a buddy to make as many Essential List 1 or 2 spelling words as we could using the letter cutters.

Then we read them to our buddy. It was soooo much fun!

Check out our video below:

How to keep safe in an earthquake

With the recent events in Christchurch, and our current topic, we have been listening to this great song made by Julie Wylie.

It is all about how to keep safe in an earthquake.

The main words are:
Stop, drop,
be like a turtle,
Under the table,
away from the windows.
Stay still,
under the table,
Wait 'till the shaking stops!

We celebrated in Room 5 by having a Dr Seuss Day!

We watched Dr Seuss videos (see below), did Cat in the Hat Maths, a Dr Seuss maze, a Cat in the Hat dot to dot activity, a Dr Seuss word find AND did writing and reading too - PHEW!

We also had two special guests read us Dr Seuss books, they were Miss Joplin and Justin Bieber!!!! What a lucky class we are :)

Happy Birthday Dr Seuss!

National Silence - Remembering Christchurch

Today at 12:51pm we thought about Christchurch and all the many families and children affected by the earthquake that happened exactly a week ago.

We talked about how sad some of the people will be at this time and thought of how their houses and jobs will be affected and possibly ruined.

Just before 12:51pm the whole school gathered on the field and made a giant circle.

There we had our 2 minutes of silence.

Thinking of you all in Christchurch,

From Room 5 <3
