We have finished our Daily 5 reading for the year. Here are some of us doing our activities.

Paper Trail We have been busy making paper from our recycling bin in the classroom. We ripped up the pieces into little bits and left them to soak for 3 days. Then we put them it in a blender to make it into pulp. We added green or red food colouring to the mixture and than put it put it on the mesh frame. We patted it out onto wax paper and made it a bit thinner. It took about 3 days to dry out properly. we have started making Christmas Cards with our recycled paper.

Busy Activity in our Old Playground. Our trees are all gone.

We have been having a lot of fun at the pool with our swimming lesson. We have also been having fun laying games while waiting for the bus to take us back to school.

We have been very busy over the last few weeks and no-one has had time to add the class blog! In weeks 1 and 2 we had tennis lessons and had to practise some very hard skills. It was made even more difficult when the strong wind kept blowing our balls away.

Some photos from our fantastic day out at Ferrymead Historic Park.  What a wonderful experience dressing up and experiencing daily life and school as it was one hundred years ago.
