Let the drumming begin!!

On Wednesday we had our first drumming session with Andreas.  We got to choose an instrument and then we had a go at keeping the beat.  It was loud, but lots of fun!

Character strengths: kindness

We have been learning about our character strengths: one of them is kindness.  We read lots of stories about being kind and then we did some activities.  First we made balloons to give out to people feeling unwell and then we made kindness vouchers for our families.  Our vouchers had things like making our own beds and doing the dishes.  Our mums and dads took pictures of us when they were redeeming their vouchers.

The kings and queens of zing

We have been studying 'ING' this week and learning all the words that have ing in them.  We made crowns because we were the Queens and Kings of ING!

Changing Forms

We have noticed some changes happening in the class. It is inspiring our writing and adding to our inquiry.

We have been thinking about what changes around us, and reflecting on how we ourselves have changed. We used this poem as inspiration. We used our imagination to think about what we would be like when we are six. 

Now We Are Six

When I was one,
I had just begun.
When I was two,
I was nearly new.
When I was three,
I was hardly me.
When I was four,
I was not much more.
When I was five,
I was just alive.
But now I am six,
I'm as clever as clever.
So I think I'll be six
now and forever.

On Mondays we have Donut News. We tell our news to three people and practise listening and taking turns.

When we have news we sit knee to knee and eye to eye.  we listen to each other and we take turns.  We share our news with three different people.  The people on the outside of the donut move around and the people on the inside stay still.  We have this every Monday, so Mondays are good days to share cool things we've done over the weekend!
