SELF PORTRAITS

Today we learnt about what how to draw self portraits. We looked at where our eyes, nose and mouth is on our face. We also looked at the shape of our features. We found it quite hard to make them look real.  We also looked closely at our faces to see what made us special e.g glasses, freckles, moles etc. We will put our final pictures on the blog for you to see later. 


HAPPY BIRTHDAY XAVIER!

Today is Xaviers birthday and he has brought in cupcakes for us. They were delicious!

Fraction Creatures


We had different amounts of squares to make a creature.  We had to work out what half of that number is.  Rudi and Lucas know that 17 is half of 34!



Reading

This week we have been reading in our reading groups and doing fun activities based on the books we have been reading.  Ashton and Jessica have been reading about a praying mantis.


They have learnt that a praying mantis can sit very still until a fly comes along.  They like to eat flies.

  • James B enjoyed writing today because it was fun to write about his holiday.

  • Ethan likes swimming especially playing with the paddle boards.

  • Eden enjoyed listening to stories.
