Free Choice Writing. Focus: Verbs & Adjectives

On Thursday Room 1 children had free choice writing. They could write about anything they wished but they had to use exciting adjectives and verbs to help describe their ideas.

Brmm! Smash! I slam my door. Crunch, crunch, the sand squishes under my feet. I scamper over to the wavy beach. "Haylee you have to put on your togs" my mum shouted. So I rushed back to zip them on. "Finally" I said. I sprinted back across the sandy beach. Splash! I dived into the salty beach. I grabbed my dark blue boogie board and sailed along the wavy water.

How many tens and how many ones??

We have been learning how many tens and ones are in a two digit number. At first we found this really tricky but now Miss Brown thinks we are experts. Here are some photos the Diamonds took themselves after making the numbers and matching the correct labels.

Paper Art

We have been learning how to make cool looking art out of paper with Mrs Woodward. We have been twirling, twisting, scrunching, folding and cutting paper to make pictures.

We are now working on a different type of paper art called Weaving.

Maths - Measurement

Maths: Measurement - Weight on PhotoPeach

We had fun learning how to measure the weight of different things. We had lots of different activities to help us learn about the weight of objects and using the scales. We decided it is important to know how to measure things especially when it comes to baking!
