Week 7 Term 3 2015
We are very lucky to have Miss Roycroft working with us when Mrs Finucane is working on her other jobs in our school. She has been working on some artwork with us, based on a very famous piece of art by Van Gogh, that feature Sunflowers.
We have finally finished our artworks and Miss Roycroft has spent a lot of time getting them ready for display.Mrs Finucane has put them up in our foyer.
They look FANTASTIC! Come and have a look sometime!
Week 7 Term 3 2015
It has been worth the wait!
While we haven't officially opened our new playground, on Friday Mr Byers let us have a "play" . We were able to go out class by class and try out all the new things.We were so lucky it didn't rain as the weather has not been great this week but we managed to get our turn.
We are so looking forward to be able to use it at playtimes and lunch.

A few lucky students from our class got to spend some time in Room 5 with our newest students. They were awesome reading "buddies". Thank you Miss Williams for the photos!
Week 5 Term 3 2015
We have been doing a lot of work this term on writing to entertain and learning to publish our work to share with others.
Our latest pieces were about cross country. We used what we had learned about staccato sentences to try and set the scene.Some of us used some really strong staccato sentences, but as authors we get to choose how we record our thoughts and experiences so we have a variety of writing on display.
Please come and have a look if you can. We are really proud of our display...
Week 4 Term 3 2015
This week was cross country. We have been doing lots of running but on the day it seemed like a long way! Everyone tried their best and should be very proud of themselves!
Week 3 Term 3 2015
This week we wrote some awesome stories that created suspense and drama. We read a story called "The Screaming Mean Machine" by Joy Cowley , and used it as a model for our own writing. After editing our stories we published them and designed our own screaming machines to illustrate our writing.
Here are some of our illustrations:

Welcome back to Term 3!
We have already been busy in Room 8 working on writing and publishing our work for others to enjoy. This week we started to look at small machines and we were looking closely at some simple items in our classroom to sketch and describe. Here is our wall display . Mrs Finucane thinks that we did a great job!
Come in and have a look if you can.
