For writing this term Room 6 has been learning how to write recounts. We start off with an introduction, then we have our juicy middle and last we have our favourite part.
Miss Brown brought some bubbles for us to write about at writing time.
We had all sorts of different bubble blowers, some were shaped like a bears head, some were small flowers and there was even one with 16 different holes! This was our favourite!
We took turns and moved around the different desk groups using the blowers. It was good because we shared them and took turns swapping around.
We started off at our normal desk group and explored what bubbles we could make with the different blowers.
We found out when we used the 16 hole bubble blower, that you could make one big bubble!
Look at our bubbles!!!!
Here are a few things Room 6 enjoyed about the bubbles...
Tyrone - I liked the 16 bubble blower because you got to blow all the bubbles to make a really big bubble!
Eden - I liked when Josh used the bear shaped bubble blower and pulled it through the air to make a bubble.
Mahalia - I liked it when the big bubbles were all around the classroom.
Amelia - I liked when I blew a big bubble and Mere popped it!
This term Room 6 drew some shadows with chalk for our Space topic.
We had to go outside just before morning tea, before lunch and after Phonics to draw around our shadows to show how they change throughout the day.
We found out they moved as the sun moves through the sky during the day.
This is Tyrone and Josh. Tyrone is drawing around Josh's Shadow.
This is Saiyan and Will. Will is drawing around Saiyan. We had to stand in exactly the same spot each time we drew our shadow.
Ashley and Carys are talking about how to draw their last shadow because Room 5's classroom was blocking the sun.
Here is what some Room 6 'ers enjoyed about this activity:
Mere - I liked going with Tamsin to draw the shadows.
Ashley - I liked drawing around Carys's shadow.
Carys - I liked drawing around Ashley's shadow too!
Josh - I enjoyed drawing Tyrone's shadow.
This is what our shadows looked like after we had drawn around them three times.
Look at how they have changed.
