Highlights from our week!

Mystery Reader




A very big THANK YOU to Lisa Walker (Owen's Mum) for coming in on Wednesday to be our mystery reader. It was an absolute delight to see Owen's face register that his mum was sitting in our classroom. We were treated to a great story by one of our favourite authors Dr Seuss. The children were such great listeners and thoroughly enjoyed having a visitor reading to them.

The children are very proud when they have a parent, relative or friend come in to read. Please don't miss out on the chance to share a story or a fun activity with our class.

Realistic Fiction




Ms Rachel came to our class on Thursday to introduce to us a style of writing called Realistic Fiction. We looked back over a book that we were very familiar with 'Wemberly Worried'. We took the story apart and filled in a 'story mountain' planner. This is where we talked about the characters, setting, build up, problem, resolution and ending. Ms Rachel explained to us all of these things and then together we decided to make up our own realistic fiction story using the story mountain planner. We have called our story 'Pearlie Proud', we are just in the planning stages but we will share our published piece soon!


Maths

Adding 3 numbers together with a partner. Explain your thinking and show how you worked out the answer. It was really interesting at how differently the students came to solve the equations. 


Buddies

Always enjoy spending time with our Grade 4 buddies. This week we started to made puppets for our puppet theatre. We will be making short role plays showing various interactions in the coming weeks. Watch this space!


Hope you have all had a great weekend! Ready to start book week!
