Art – Bunting
First Mrs Colliss photocopied some large triangles. We then drew a collection of things that represent us inside the triangle. Once we were happy with the plan we transferred our design to the fabric and outlined it in vivid. We then used paint to paint them bright colours. Mrs Colliss is now going to sew them together. Here are some really cool ones, we will put a photo of them all up when there are finished.

Sand timers
For maths we have been doing time, so we made some
sand timers. We used old POP bottles, sand and tape to make them. The first
time we did them we had a few problems, the holes weren’t big enough, the sand
was a bit wet and there were sticks in the sand which clogged it up. We solved
these issues and complete the tasks. They were fun to make and we got to work
on our problem solving skills.

Throughout the week we have been put to the test to
try and figure out what we are doing for topic this term. We have been given
some clues, like a display outside filled with interesting things, on Friday
the teachers dressed up as farmers. We have been looking at farming pictures
and asking lots of questions!
On the 19th
– 21st of February we are going to camp at Mrs Harris’ farm. We will
be sleeping in tents with our groups. The whole camp will be set up in a
paddock with no electricity, and there will be about 140 people! We get to cook
our own dinners, everyone is getting very excited. We will let you know more as
we get closer to camp time.

Fact Wheels
On Wednesday we wrote 8 interesting facts about ourselves. We then presented them on these bright colourful wheels, there is a split pin in the middle so they can turn around. They are on the wall so our families and classmates can find the most wonderful class in history!

The first
week of school we have gotten into our swimming groups. There are 3 groups and
based on people’s confidence in the water and their swimming ability. It was a
bit too cold to swim today, but we will be back into it on Monday.

Art Effects
We used Microsoft
Word and we clicked on insert picture and got our own photo up. We had to
adjust our photo and get 8 copies of it. We then had a play around with the
artistic effects. We had lots of fun and learnt a lot of skills on the
computers. It made the wall look creative and colourful.

Fish
This year room 13 has 2 goldfish. We got to
name them. We voted on their names, there were lots of names to choose from. In
the end the bigger fish got called Jelly and the smaller fish got called
Chocolate. The class came up with a little joke, Jellyfish and Chocolate fish.
