Room 14 and the Junior Syndicate's trip to Rabbit Island.

Today we went with the whole Junior Syndicate to the beach we had an amazing day.

Here are just a few of the photos.

Enjoy.................we did

How long are we.....

Early this week we went outside and measured ourselves to see how long we all were. First we drew a line with chalk at the feet and the head of our partner's body as they lay on the concrete. Then we measured the length between the two lines with our feet. We had to make sure one foot went directly in front of the other. Some of us had bigger feet than others and so all of us were different lengths. So during our measurement unit we have learned how long we were when we were born and how long we are now that we are 5 years old. It is very interesting!

Natalia had a little lamb...............that wasn't so little!

For show and tell on Wednesday this week Natalia brought her pet lamb to our class. We went outside and were all able to touch it. Thanks Natalia and your mum for this opportunity.

Measurement

We have been learning how to measure the length of things. We have used lots of  different objects that we found in our classroom to find out how long or tall things are. Mrs Ross found out from our parents how long we all  were when we were born and we used things like multi-link cubes, wooden blocks, coloured rods or even our hands to find out our birth length. Wow... some of us were as much as 26 cubes long. Next week we are going to find out what our length is now that we are 5.

Finished!!

Today we signed our art work..... cos that's what artists do.
All three paintings are now finished and we are so proud of them. Hope you all like them and come along to our school art exhibition and place a large bid to purchase one at the silent auction.
