We get excited about the photo prompt!

Next Term please bring along INTERESTING AND THOUGHT PROVOKING photos or newspaper articles to WRITE ABOUT in our own Class Newspaper to share in Literacy time.

The AUTHORS were able to choose if they wanted to write using the PROMPT (which you can read at the bottom of the iPad screen) or use the image alone. The children then recorded themselves if they wanted to, reading aloud their writing. Other children can now use the iPad as a reading device as well as a writing device. We like to hear each other read. Reading and Writing has become interactive.

Children were able to independently choose a picture which inspired them to write about any topic they chose.

Sometimes we have an Author's Block! This app enables us to use our imagination and the world around us to dream up a story - whether is fiction or non-fiction!

A Rocky 10 Times table

Get those Mighty Mouse Maths Brains going with this video!

Hope you are enjoying the holidays!

Just a short message to parents: as we enter into rainy wet days, eek, and you are thinking about winter shoes...Velcro straps are easier than laces. Or if your child has laced shoes please start teaching them how to undo them and do them up again. We will be changing for PE at least 3 times during the week so this is an essential skill. They will also need socks and sneakers for PE. The days will be written into their diaries.

Please name all uniform, especially shoes; and check all uniform belongs to your child.

Mandy has been looking for her sandals the last 3 weeks of term. Her shoes are 2 different sizes and do not match. 

Thank you for taking the time to look on our blog!

Watch out for Slinky Malinky this Week!

Miaow Children and Teachers at Sunnyhills School!

I’m Slinky Malinky,

(a rapscallion cat!)

By day I am just like any ordinary cat

but at night I am wicked and fiendish and sly

I leap over walls and I prowl and pry

All over school I have pilfered and pillaged

 from classrooms and corridors your teacher’s belongings

I’ve pulled them and dragged them and heaved them until

I reached the music room high on the...concrete

Take yourself off to the window to see

If your belongings are sitting there one morning this week

Make sure that your teacher can identify the item I stole

So that your classroom will once again

be whole

Where the Wild Things Are by Maurice Sendak

Mrs Trembath brought 2 versions of the story to show our class today - one version was her book since she was our age and the other collected on her travels - the pictures are the same!

We made Wild Things Bookmarks to take home for our books.

Next we made delicious versions of Marvellous Medicine with Soda, Vanilla Ice Cream and a sprinkling of marshmallows!

A drop of yellow or green food colouring for that extra sparkle!

Delicious!!
