Creating with Mrs Prattley

Today Room 5 was busy creating with Mrs Prattley. Mrs Prattley brought in some cool boxes and other materials and then the students got busy! 

Connor made an aeroplane, he told me how he used a toothpaste box and made the wings out of card board rolls.

Reef made a robot using a coffee box for the body.

Jack made a very cool boat. He said that the toothpaste box was the anchor and showed me how it would look when it was floating on the water.

Kayley made a lunch box. She said that she used glue to stick things on and that the red thing on top was a handle.

There were a lot of great creations made, I can't wait to see them all painted !

This week we also welcomed Oceane Opie. Oceane has come to us from Country Kids, so has quickly reacquainted herself with some of her old friends. 

Not long to go now until the end of term , and there is a lot going on! Don't forget to return your permission slips and money for our awesome end of year trip to the pools. It is a great day out and the kids love the trip on the big bus, it would be great to see all of Room 5 students attend. If you have any queries or concerns , please feel free to come and see me and have a chat.

Room 5 is exploring!

Today Room 5 has been exploring! We are in the process of setting up  a bit of a nature table. On the weekend I (Miss Williams) went for a walk and brought back some bits and pieces. Room 5 used magnifying glasses to have an up close look and talked about what they could see. The students in Room 5 all had guesses as to where they thought I had been for my walk - looking at the photos and the table in Room 5, where do you think I went?

Rabbits Rabbits everywhere!

Last week the students in Room 5 were lucky enough to meet a couple of very cute rabbits. These rabbits belong to Kelly from Room 5. Everyone in Room 5 was very excited and loved being able to pat the furry visitors. After the visit Room 5 did some awesome drawings of  rabbits, which we have on display in class. Check out some of the cool photos below.
