WEEK 3: September 5th-9th 2016

We have continued to work on writing,analyzing and following instructions. Students followed instructions on how to create origami paper folding into a boat and a hat.

   

Students are working hard in their phonics lessons working cooperatively to practice their reading skills.

As we have been learning about healthy lifestyle and well-being, students gave each other instructions on how to brush teeth while the other acted them out.

Students then had a chance to try and write effective instructions for teeth brushing including all the key features.

In Inquiry we have been investigating our class question about why we have to eat healthy food such as vegetables and milk. We have discovered the 5 food groups and that a balanced diet will give us energy and help us to grow.
