Welcome back everyone!

Hi everyone! I hope you've had a super holiday and are looking forward to term 4. Check out the amazing Ag Day art we did last term which I have put up in the classroom. See you all on Monday!

Happy Father's Day!

Last week we wrote descriptions about our dads for Father's Day. It was great to read all the lovely things people had written about their dads. Here is a selection of our stories. All the rest are up in our classroom to read!

Class photo

Last week was the first time our whole class has been here in ages so we decided to take a new photo for the blog. We also took this crazy one - check out our scary faces!

PMP

This week we started doing PMP on a Thursday. PMP is a Perceptual Motor Programme that helps us with our fitness, balance, locomotion, hand/eye and hand/foot coordination and eye tracking. We have to do a range of activities in groups. Room 4 have a responsible job because we are the leaders and look after the other students in our group. We really enjoy doing PMP!

What's your favourite activity at PMP?

Dancing Raisins

This week we did a fun science experiment with some raisins and lemonade. We had to put the raisins into a glass of lemonade and then ... the raisins started to dance! Why did they do that? Well we discovered that the lemonade had carbon dioxide in it and the raisins attached themselves to the bubbles of carbon dioxide. When there was enough bubbles they floated up to the surface of the glass then the bubbles popped and they sunk again. After we had done the experiment we made a Pic Collage in our groups.

Plays!

Last week two of Room 4's reading groups had a play for their reading. After practising all week, they performed their play on Friday for the rest of the class. We enjoyed how everyone got into character, the expressive voices they used and how they all worked together as a team!

In Room 4 we all love our mums! To celebrate Mother's Day on Sunday we wrote descriptions of our mums this week in class. Here are some of our lovely stories! The rest are on display in Room 4. Happy Mother's Day to all the wonderful mums on Sunday!
