Happy Mother's Day
This week we read the book My Mom by Anthony Browne. Then we talked about all the wonderful things that our mother's, aunties, or nana's... do for us and wrote about the ways that this love is expressed using parts of the body.
The students drew these beautiful pictures to put with their writing.
Have a look at our beautiful ladies!!

Friend Wanted
In Room 4 we have been learning about advertisements.
We had a look at a section of the newspaper called the Classifieds, found in the back of the newspaper. Then everyone had a go writing an advertisement for a friend. The first part of the writing is about what kind of a friend we'd like to have, and the second part is about what kind of a friend we are. The black tape covers the name so everyone has to guess who's written it.
Can you guess who has written these ads?
Here's a hint: one of these each belongs to
Harleth, Radian, Jenelia or Abrish

Swimming Lessons
This week we were lucky enough to have two swimming instructors take us for our swimming lessons.
We have been learning to:
1. Float on our front in the water and then flip onto our backs and make a starfish.
2. Do doggie paddle across the pool, without our feet touching the bottom!
We had fun learning lots of new skills which we will continue practising over the next couple of weeks.

Portrait Art
Have a look at these awesome portraits,
made by Room 4.
Before we jumped straight into colouring, we spent some time looking at lots of pictures of faces. Then we paired up with and sketched a classmate. After that, using pencil we drew our face on a large piece of paper and traced over it with sharpie. Then we rubbed out the pencil and added colour using a mix of crayons and chalk pastels.
