Second Class 2014 – 2015
Welcome to our second class blog! We have decided to call ourselves “The Busy Beavers”, as we plan to be very busy learning and having fun all year! This month we are learning all about Autumn, skeletons, signs, maps and how important our family and friends are! We will be making a cool hand print display and painting our self-portraits. We have already begun reading our first novel. It’s about a boy who has to wear a pink frock to school. Imagine that! On Tuesdays we are going to visit our school library and on Wednesdays we are swimming in our local pool. What a busy bunch we are!!!!
September in 4th Class
We have had a busy few weeks since the start of September in 4th class. We are very excited to have a fantastic bank of computers in our room this year! We are starting Literacy Lift Off tomorrow and we are all looking forward to trying out our computer skills. Thankfully with the nice weather we have been out in the garden for P.E. We are learning how to play Tag Rugby and started off by learning some warm up games. Today our new class librarians were very busy! They were scanning out our books during our first visit of the year to our school library.We will be back soon to fill you in on all the other exciting news from our room.
