Today in reading...

Today in reading for the Planets group we made stick and leaf art. We did it because today's story was about nature. In the story a boy went to visit his gran's farm and they collected things for art.

The purple present

Yesterday we opened the purple present again. We all got to hold the box and shake it first. It was very light and rattled.




Inside the box were some stories about different celebrations.
Olivia figured out that, that must be what we are learning about.
We talked about celebrations that Room 2 celebrate and then came up with some questions about what we want to know about celebrations. Miss D was really impressed with the questions we asked.

They are up on the inquiry wall.
The inquiry bus has now moved along the road a bit as we are up to the asking questions part of "diving in"

Today in the purple present...

Today when we opened the purple present we found...
Santa Bear.

We think that we might be learning something about Celebrating Christmas.

Miss D shook the box after Santa Bear was out and there is something else in there as it made a rattling sound.

We wonder what can be inside!

Purple Present

Yesterday we all got a surprise when we came to school. In the middle of the mat there was a gigantic purple present! We wrote some stories today about what we thought was inside.
Harvey thought it might be a class pet. Ella thought we might have a letter saying we're going on a trip.
Miss D said it was something that we were going to learn about.
We opened the present and inside there was...

A golden balloon!

We thought maybe it means we might be having a party but we didn't know what that meant we are learning about.

Tomorrow we are going to get our next clue from the box.

Adopting a garden

Room 2 has adopted the garden outside our classroom. We noticed that it was full of weeds and that the gardening ladies already had lots of work to do. We thought that we could help by doing the gardening at discovery time.
Today we had four mums who came to help us weed all the garden. We had lots of fun and we are excited to plant some seeds and plants in it next term.
