     A Tiger Chasing A Chicken

Mrs Chester showed the class a picture of a tiger chasing a chicken.  We  discussed what we noticed and shared our thoughts about what was happening in the picture.   We then composed sentences that we might use to begin our writing.  Here are some of the  wonderful sentences we composed.

Tiger is chasing the white hen.

The tiger is trying to catch the chicken.

The tiger is chasing the chicken because he wants to eat her.

The chicken is faster than the tiger.

The tiger is getting close.

The tiger and the white rooster are running.

The hungry tiger is wanting to eat the chicken and he is ready to pounce.

The chicken is ahead of the tiger.

The tiger is faster than the chicken.

The tiger is hungry.  His tummy is rumbling.

The white hen is running.  The tiger is catching up.

The tiger is close behind the white hen.

The tiger is racing so fast that the tiger cannot catch up.

Music lesson in room 14.

We love playing music instruments in room 14.

Rooms 14 and 23 love their buddy time.

What is tinikling?

As Rooms 11 and 13 were introducing their assembly tinikling item on Friday, Darcy asked

"What is tinikling?" 

 That was great question to ask Darcy. 

We were told it was a Philippine dance. The dance involves people beating bamboo poles together and on the ground, as dancers step over and in between the poles as they dance.

Room 14 loved watching the talented dancers and pole tappers as they kept the beat, quickly moving in and out of the poles.

We enjoyed watching Ms Corbet, Miss Laxa and Mrs Leung giving it a go.  It looked tricky but lots of fun.

Thank you Rooms 11 and 13 for sharing your learning and talents with us.

Maths learning in the sandpit

We have been learning to fill containers and count how many scoops or spoonfuls different containers hold.  Then we have been ordering the containers, identifying which hold the least and those which hold more.

On Friday we filled our containers with sand. Last week with enjoyed filling our containers with water.
