Cross Country

Our school has just completed the cross country. We ran in our age groups. Lots of our families came to cheer us on. We all did really well and had lots of fun.

FITNESS

As part of our study on the Olympic Games we designed fitness

cards for our class to use. We decided to do a fitness circuit so 

each  group made

 an activity for the circuit. We made cards explaining the activity and listing any equipment needed.

MASK MAKING

This term, in art, we are making masks. At the beginning of term 4 our school will be going in the Mask Parade. We are looking at using symmetry in masks. 

We made these black and white masks this week.

WHAT A DRAMA!

There's been drama in Room 6! We've been writing about and dramatizing The Three Billy Goats Gruff. We've been practising our movements and facial expressions.We had some very fierce trolls!

Some of our reading groups have also been doing plays. One group did their play for the Junior assembly on Friday. It was a funny play called "No Excuse." The children all read with clear voices and expression. Carol was very proud of them.

Shazzlewogs

We have been designing homes for a shazzlewog.

Shazzlewogs are small pets. They are about 10 cm high, have short legs with three toes and have small wings but cannot fly. They have a trunk which they use for drinking water. When we designed a house for them we had to remember that they are shy and like a place to hide. Also, that they sleep in a nest and like to splash in water. Shazzlewogs eat carrots and like to climb. 

Emma made this shazzlewog. You can tell it is a female because of its colours. Male shazzlewogs are purple and yellow.
