Welcome to Term 4! Our learning focus this term is to Take Risks and Be Creative. We have been showing our creativity by writing Tongue Twisters. The other name for Tongue Twisters is Alliteration. Here are some examples of what we have done so far:

Jacob:  Shaun shot a shopping shop so Shelby shot Shaun with some snot.

Shaun:  Shimmering Sunshine shines of shiny Shaun

Geena:  Madman Manny Made Milk Madness

Ivoree:  Twinkle Toes tripped on two terrible teenagers

Alyssa L: Pesty Patsy pigs get plump by pies.

Tai:  Randy's Rhino's run madly

Malakai:  Madman Manny makes marvelous muffins

World Cup Sports Day

What a fun day! Our teams were Australia 4 and 5. At the various stations we did: Tag games, soccer skills, athletic skills and rugby skills. A lot of us used our Kia Kaha spirit and supported and encouraged each other to give the activities a go.
The winner of Australia 4's free swim voucher goes to Lillia for trying her hardest at each station. Well done!
There is one more voucher and the winner will be announced soon. Stay tuned!

This term we have been writing reports about animals.

Kia Kaha (bullying)

Week 3

This week we did some cooking as part of our Kia Kaha unit on bullying. We had to work together to make Marshmallow treats and Lolly Log. They tasted delicious!

 

Term 3 so far

At the beginning of this term, in response to the Possum Magic big book, we cooked ANZAC biscuits.
Here is what we did:

Today we made ANZAC biscuits. Miss Lowe put us in 3 groups. I was in group two. We went to the technology room with our Possum Magic book and we got split up in our groups then we washed our hands. When we had washed our hands we go straight into cooking. First we put flour, sugar, coconut and rolled oats in the mixing bowl. After that I got to put 2 tablespoons of Golden Syrup in with a bit of butter. Miss Lowe stirred the butter and syrup well. Someone stirred the baking soda in the boiling water. When the baking soda and boiling water was mixed it got tipped into the syrup and butter. Then we put the syrup , butter, baking soda and water into the mixing bowl. When we had mixed it all up we made it into balls and squashed them with a fork then we put them in the oven. When they were cooked we tasted them. They were YUM! A few minutes later we wrote about it. I liked making ANZAC biscuits-it was fun. I enjoyed putting the Golden Syrup in the bowl.
