Using pulleys with Nick

On Thursday we got to see pulleys in action. We had time with Nick (a Dad from Room 5) who shared his knowledge with us. It was really interesting. We especially enjoyed the "tug-o-war" with the pulley. Ask us what happened and an interesting fact.

Marvellous Maps

For Maths this week we have been learning about maps and the information they provide us. Here are some pictures of what we have been doing so far. 

Super Squash!

We have had a great time learning Squash this week. On Monday Mark from  Canterbury Squash came to teach us some skills. We then had fun giving them a go! 

A&P Show

Can you help? Sadly we are short of parent help for our trip to the A&P show coming up on Thursday 13th November. Can you help out with transport to and from the Showgrounds? Please let me know if you can help out. 

Push and pull

We are currently creating some all purpose terrain machines. We will then look at how a terrain can effect the movement and speed of the vehicle. Here are some progress shots. 

Book launch and game of soccer

A big 'thank you' to all of the parents and grandparents who came along to our open afternoon. It is so wonderful to have your support. 

Fun times at the gardens...

We had such a great time at the gardens and museum on Thursday. Here are a few photos at the playground.

We are authors and illustrators

We are currently writing a story for our Room 10 buddy. Have have looked at many different authors and illustrators. We really enjoyed listening to Dallas Clayton and how he got his ideas. Then we listened to him reading his book: An Awesome Book. Here it is.

Book week

Last week was book week. We had a great time reading with and interviewing our Room 10 buddies about what types of stories they like to read. We enjoyed SPACE JAM and dress up day and many of us enjoyed the Pyjama Day too. We also explored the story The Lorax - it was a great week!
