Room Three's Snowy Day

On Monday many of the children from Room 3 went on a ski trip.

Those of us who remained at school decided to have a 'snow' day too.

Instead of going outside to find snow we decided to make some of our own.
We made  snow globes and created snow paint and snow flakes.
Here are our creations:

We made snow paint out of PVA glue and shaving foam.

We made our snow globes by laminating  magazine pictures that we had carefully chosen and cut out.

The we added glitter and water.

Kids Restore the Kepler

We did these Fern Prints as part of Thinking Thursday this week.  

Here’s how the children made their lovely fern prints.

1. We began by having different coloured paints on ice-cream lids.

2. Then they used a paint brush and painted the underside of the ferns

3. Then they put the fern onto a piece of paper and put another piece on top.  They then used a roller and rolled over the top.

4. Lastly, they pulled the top piece of paper off and pulled the fern up to reveal their print underneath.

Maps

Last week our spelling word family was 'ap'.

We thought that it would be fun to make some maps to help us remember this spelling chunk.

Our maps are all different.

Here are some of them. Come into Room 3 to look at the rest.

More 100 day activities

We can do '100 Fitness'.
We stood along the lines on the rugby field and took 100 steps.

Some of us took giant elephant steps and some of us took normal walking steps.

Look how far we ended up!

How far can you walk in one hundred steps?

Our poem this week was also about being at school for 100 days.... can you read it?

100 day celebration

Each morning we count the number of days we have been at school on a 100s board.
Today we have been at school for 100 days!

To celebrate we made 100s crowns and then we iced biscuits with the numbers 1, 0, 0.
We had to make sure we put the biscuits in the right order to make 100.

I wonder when our next 100 party will be?

Jack and the Beanstalk

During the last week of the second term, Mrs Pearson told us that we were going to be doing activities about a boy, magic beans,a cow and a giant.

One morning when we got to school a beanstalk had grown.

We published our Jack stories on leaves and attached them to  the beanstalk.

We also made stick puppets to retell the story.

Come into Room 3 and read our stories, and ask us to retell Jack and the Beanstalk to you.

Shared Reading

Each week we read a shared book together.  One of our favourites so far this year has been Jill Eggleton's story of 'The Fun Bus'.

After reading this book, we wrote stories and talked about the kind of buses we would like to travel in.

Here are two examples, come into our classroom to read about the other buses.
