Basic Facts
You have got your next basic facts to learn- this is different for everyone, so you will need to remember what yours is.

Read for twenty minutes, and summarise books. They all count towards your reading log.

Week 1 Round-up

Hi everyone,
Welcome back to school!
We have had such a busy week.

Here are some of the highlights!


Art

We have been learning some sketching skills and techniques

 The start of Khushi's Zebra


Shaydn's eye sketch



Victoria's Minion


Maths

We have been learning some of the different features of different kinds of graphs.


Oskar's Bar Graph




Ruby's Pie Graph


Writing

We have been writing some stories from the perspective of an animal or object on it's average day.
The students were trying to give the reader clues about what creature or object they were without saying what it was.



Connor's awesome story

A day in my life
My clock goes off. Tweet, tweet, tweet! I hit it with my leg and it stops. I get out of my leafy bed and I go into the kitchen. My wife caught a fly for breakfast. After a nice breakfast, I go into the bathroom to brush my fangs and then I go to work. My boss says that I am the Hunter of the Month! I built a web so we can sit on it’s soft silk. After a nice days hunting, I return home. For lunch, me and my wife had a paper wasp. I accidently ate it’s stinger. I had to go to the doctors. The doctor said that I have to be more careful. After that, we noticed our babies had hatched. For dinner, my wife had a bee, and I ate a ladybug (remember what the doctor said). For dessert, we had a glass of venom. Then we had a bath in the pond. We brushed our fangs and went to bed. What a good day!


Reading

We have been learning how to summarise what we have read. This is an important reading skill.
We are practicing so we can prove that we have read for our reading log. Come in and check it out!
