TODAY WAS COMMENT DAY!

We had V.I.P.S in our room again today...

we are VERY lucky!

This morning, Mrs B and Mrs P came in AGAIN to help us with our blog!

We signed up again to work with either Mrs B or Mrs P.

We decided that we wanted to leave comments today. Mrs B and Mrs P helped us read the posts and type our comments. We also looked at 1G's blog and left lots of comments there too!

This afternoon we had a V.I.P. from Brisbane Catholic Education visit us and talk to us about our blog.
We shared how we decide what goes on the blog.

Jack, Harrison, Jacob and Patrick knew

which buttons to click on to upload, size

and position a photo into a post.
Our visitor was VERY IMPRESSED!!

We pick up rubbish BIG and small... inside our classroom

and from the gutters and shaded area outside.

We all need to look after our school.

Do the right thing...make every day CLEAN UP SCHOOLS DAY!

MORE PATTERNS FROM HOME!

Here are some patterns that Johanna and Billee-Jane created at home.



We weren't tricked by the capsicum on each end. This pattern is a pattern about 5... an ABBCC pattern. What clever use of fruit and vegetables!


This one is an ABC pattern... a pattern about 3!




What can you use at home to make a pattern? How creative can you be? Don't forget to tell us about your pattern in a comment and bring in a picture to show if you can.
HAPPY PATTERNING!

WORKING WITH WORDS

Today the spotlight was on two new activities to help us learn our Word Wall Words.

Instead of using playdoh or magnetic letters to make our words, we used 'letter' body segments to make 'caterpillar' word wall words.

Another new activity was 'Sentence Maker'.

We used 'word wall word' cards to construct sentences.
We even used some of this week's new words!


Look at all the words we've learnt so far. Which ones can you use in a sentence? Can you make a longer sentence?

Maybe your sentence will be in the 'spotlight' next!
