ALISTAIR'S 3D FIND!

Alistair EMAILED in this picture of a cushion.

It is shaped like a RECTANGULAR PRISM.

This cushion is also shaped like another 3D shape we explored today.

Can you name that shape? Leave your answer in a comment!

(CLUE: it's the same shape as Lachlan's pencil container)

WELL DONE, ALISTAIR!!

DON'T FORGET, YOU TOO CAN DO JUST AS ALISTAIR HAS.

TAKE OUT THE CAMERA AND SNAP PHOTOS OF OBJECTS SHAPED LIKE

RECTANGULAR PRISMS AND EMAIL THEM TO 1mgems@gmail.com

I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE THE NEXT FIND!

LOOK WHAT WE'VE GOT TO SHOW

We have had lots of INTERESTING things brought in for TALK TIME lately. Here are some of our favourites.

Alistair said, "This is my pet fish.

He is a Goldfish. His name is Lachie.

That's my Dad's name too!

Every time I feed him, he comes right up to the top of the tank and gobbles it right up."

Sophia said, " These are 'lamb bones'. They were left over from the lamb we had for dinner. Mum washed and cleaned them. I don't know what part of the lamb they came from. Can you figure it out?

Johanna said, " My Granny's neighbour found this snake skin. It's from a PYTHON. They found it in their backyard. When my Granny first gave it to me, I was a bit scared! The snake got TOO big for it's skin, so it slid out and it had a new layer underneath. It keeps making new skin every time it gets BIGGER!

Emily said, " I have two things to show. This is part of a horse's hoof. I found it when I went to horseriding. It's like a piece of toenail."

"This is a little seahorse that my uncle caught when he went fishing. He was trying to catch a fish but got the seahorse. It's very tiny and feels hard."

Max said, " My grandma gave me these pictures. The 'dinosaur' was made by tearing up little bits of coloured paper and gluing them onto the picture.

The fish is a 'sand' picture. You put glue on the picture and sprinkle coloured sand over it."

This is the 'hand' I took to the 'Broncos' game. I waved it when the Broncos scored. They played the 'Cowboys' and they lost.

Jarvis said, " This is a mosquitofish. It is a pest in Australia. It eats the the baby mosquitoes and other insects.

Billee-Jane said, " I did these drawings. My Mum is teaching me to draw.

Matthew said, " I wear this shirt at football. It is my training shirt. I wear another shirt when i play and I get that at the game. My shorts are blue too. I play for the Wynnum Bugs."

Callum said, " My brother found this seed pod when he went on his excursion to St Helena Island. You can see it had 5 seeds in it. They were very big seeds.

THESE ARE JUST SOME OF THE INCREDIBLE AND AMAZING THINGS THAT HAVE BEEN BROUGHT IN TO SHARE.

WE HAVE LEARNT SO MUCH ABOUT EACH OTHER AND OUR WORLD, HOW THINGS WORK AND HOW TO DO THINGS.

WHAT WILL YOU BRING INTO SHARE AT YOUR NEXT TALK TIME?

Poems about the number 'seven' by BILLEE-JANE

Seven is sporty

Seven is sleek

Seven is the number of the week

Seven little mice running through the fields,

Seven kangaroos hopping in the hills,

Seven magical fairies dancing in my yard,

Make a rhyme about number seven,

It's not very hard!


Another poem about 'seven' by ALISTAIR

Seven iceblock sticks,
running to their surfboards.

Come on girls,

get your leg cords.

LAURA has a poem about the number 'six'

Six chirping birds

in the tree
They are as loud

as they can be.

"Rain, Rain - Soccer Train" by BEN

Me and my dad are going to soccer training

I hope it's still on because now it is raining.

A 'sun-smart' poem by PATRICK

Each day at school

we have some fun,

We show we're cool

wearing hats in the sun!

THANKYOU MRS DUFFY FOR HELPING US WITH THIS POST :>)

YOUR TURN, ALISTAIR!

Yesterday morning, before school, Alistair was so excited about the new school week, he sent off a poem to the blog. This morning, he was inspired again.

Here are both of his poems.

***********************************

WE'VE BEEN WORKING HARD

BUT IT WAS FUN,

TIME FOR SCHOOL

LET'S RUN, RUN, RUN!

MY GRANDMA IS FUNNY

WHEN WE PLAY I FEEL SUNNY!

LOOK WHAT YOU CAN DO WHEN YOU TRY!

WHO'LL BE INSPIRED NEXT?

SPOTLIGHT WORK - THE LAST FOR THE WEEK!

Look how clever we are getting!

Our sentences are getting longer and more interesting.


We are now using the word 'and' to join ideas.

Instead of 'the' or 'a' we are using words like 'my'. It changes the whole meaning of the sentence.

We worked hard at learning this week's words. Some of us could even jumble up the letters, then glue them down in the right order!

We were 'Super Story Sequencers' too! This 'Very Hungry Caterpillar' activity also helped us start to learn the words for the days of the week.



1M, your work this week has been MAGIC!
