More Caterpillars

Over the weekend the caterpillars have grown bigger. We had a careful count and we think there are six. The top leaves have all gone and they are eating their way down. I hope they don't eat the leaf the chrysalis is on!

Here is a picture of Room G and Room I.

Buddy Class

On Friday afternoon we went to visit our buddy class for the first time. Our buddy class is 

Room I. We had a fantastic time getting to know our buddies. We all asked lots of questions to get to know each other. It was great meeting older students at our school. 

Oral Language

We are continuing to focus on oral language in Room G. 

Monday: Retell weekend experience

Tuesday: Games

Wednesday: Wondering Wednesdays. The students are to think of a question they have been wondering about.

Remember having an inquiring mind and asking questions helps us learn.

Some questions we had this week were...

How do bees make honey?

What does it look like under the sea?

We will not have time to answer these but if you wish you could find out the answer with your child and they can share their findings with the class.

Thursday: Games

Friday: Show and Tell

This is a You Tube video I use with students to exercise their mouths. You can try this at home.

Welcome to 2014

Over the weekend changes have occurred. We now have a chrysalis instead of a big fat caterpillar. The students with eagle eyes have spotted some tiny caterpillars. We hadn't noticed eggs on the leaves but there must have been. I wonder how long it takes for a butterfly to appear.

We have a monarch butterfly caterpillar munching on a swan plant in our class. We are watching it grow and will be looking for changes each week.

Welcome to Room G's blog

It has been a busy start to the year. Its great to see so many students turning up to school ready for learning.

Swimming
We are swimming three times a week Monday, Wednesday and Fridays at 2.15pm.
There are so many children keen to get in the water.
Thanks to those parents who have helped with supervision for these days.
All parents are welcome to our final swim on the 10th of March. This is a time the children can show you what they have learnt and the confidence they have gained in the water.
