World Book Day 2012

To celebrate world book day we dressed up as some of our favourite characters from books. From Batman to Bieber everybody had great fun. We talked about our favourite books and then we went to the library to hear a few stories.
Can you remember the name of the books we read at the library?
Who were the characters in them?

Each child has been been given a book voucher to celebrate world book day. This voucher can be used in most book stores, so get out and start reading!

Here is a video of how the day went. Hope you enjoy

Random collections.

This week we began to sort random collections. We used bottle caps to sort collections into different groups.
One property collections - these were collections of caps with one thing in common.
Two property collections - these were collections of caps with two things in common.
Three property collections - these were collections of caps with three things in common.
Four property collections - these were collections of caps with four things in common.

There are four rules for sorting collections, they are;
Size

Colour

Texture

Shape


Why dont you collect different things at home and sort them into collections using these four rules??

A world of Imagination. Sketching and painting the playground using pointillism.

Pointillism is a new way of painting we discovered this week. It is simple to do. All you need is some paint and some cotton buds. Then you dot your picture to fill in the colours you like. Simple!! Hope you enjoy the video!
