Rama and Sita Puppets

In literacy this week we have been learning how to write instructions. We linked writing instructions with making puppets for religious education. We listened to the story about Rama and Sita which is told during the celebration of Diwali. We made the puppets and then we wrote the instructions. The instructions were:

How to make a puppet.

1. First you colour the puppet.

2. Then you cut the puppet out.

3. Next you glue sparkles onto the puppet.

4. Finally you tape on a lolly stick and play with the puppet.

The children really enjoyed making thier puppets.

P.E.

This week we enjoyed the sunshine. During outdoor P.E. we practised our team building skills by taking part in cooperative games. Since 1D seems to enjoy running we enjoyed some team racing games.

1D Welcome VIdeo

Here is the "Welcome Video" that 1d created.

We wanted to show the families of 1d where the children spend most of their time at school. Forgive us for the quiet sound as this is our first time video taping the class!

Harvest Time!

Last Friday we went to St. Francis' Church for our Harvest Celebration. We were welcomed to the church by Brian Goode and he said a few words about how we should be thankful at Harvest time. We sang two songs which we had been practising in class. We sang 'Red Combine Harvester' and 'This is what we do at Harvest Time'. We sounded fantastic! We listened really nicely as other classes sang their harvest songs and read their harvest poems. We really enjoyed our morning.
Thank you to all those who donated food for Harvest.
