Camp Activities

silent reading readathon.

In room 13/14 and the whole school there is a readathon on. A readathon is something where we read a book then we put the title in our readathon booklets. Tomorrow some of our families will come, then we will read to them and we made an invitation just so they know. It goes from 29th till 2nd of September. We love to learn about the readathon. We think the whole school are asking for their family to come to the readathon. We read a book to our family members. We hope everyone has a great exciting time at the readathon.

 

Symmetry in Maths - Name Monsters

Name Monsters
In term 2 we made name monsters. Here are some instructions...
1. Get coloured paper.
2. Fold your paper in half landscape.
3. Write your name in capital block letters that touch each other.
4. Cut out the block letters while keeping both sides of the paper together.
5. Unfold the name and stick the name onto a black piece of paper.
6. Using pastals, colour the black paper in so that your name looks like a monster.

Clumsy Spike

Sore eyes

Spiky, red and white

Long, carrot shaped nose

Horns

Big

And Clumsy

He stomps

“Boom boom”

When he stomps

On sticks

‘Crackle crackle”

He sounds like a dinosaur

He lives in an

Under ground

Spike Cave

He slips in puddles…...

Belly Flops

And

Bounces…”boing”

Back up!

He cooks on a stove

But

Not

In a pot

From a borrowed kitchen

Across the road

And

Takes its back to his

Spike Cave

He eats…..

Jelly

Pop corn

Chocolate

Rotten banana’s

Vege ice cream

Soup smoothie

Worm juice

People’s hair

He dances in his sleep

When he wakes up in the morning

Guess where he is?

In the wardrobe!!

We are learning to create our own class monster.

We had to come up with ideas on…..

What it looked like

The colour of it’s fur

We wrote a class poem about our monster

Room 13 and 1's Mighty, Magic, Mysterious Measurement Maths

We were put in groups and had to come up with a question about....
Perimeter
Length
Speed
Height
Weight
Time
Area

We then needed to use equipment to help solve our question.

Next we had a go at figuring it out in our groups.

Mr Lobb and Mr Arnold took videos and photos of us solving our question.

We have been doing flower and leaf art. 
In the flower art we had to....

1. draw a picture of a flower on some cardboard.
2. Cut out the flower into its different pieces.
3. Glue the pieces onto another piece of cardboard with PVA glue.
4. Cover the pieces with watered down PVA glue.
5. set to dry

We are going to paint these flowers and then use them to print art.

Learning Goal:

To write a noun-adjective poem using our senses.

What do these videos tell us about the way we learn?

How can having a growth mindset help us learn?

Can you think of 1 area of learning where you have a growth      mindset, and one area where you have a fixed mindset?
