Our Room 5 Adventures

We are learning how to tell the time in maths.

In writing today some of the children wrote sentences with the starter…”I did…”  Dd is the letter of the week.  Another group worked with Mrs Brown and we had a picture prompt of an astronaut to write about. We also used a thesaurus to help us use more interesting words.

Looks like Paddington Bear had a wonderful time with Eriko.

I know I sometimes teach the children funny ways of saying things, and I am guilty of using the word snappy.  We sometimes talk about if we are feeling tired and a bit snappy we need to be extra careful about the things we say or have some quiet time.  I was so happy to get some ‘snappy’ socks from Singapore from Avery’s travels.  I love them!!!  The class also received some fab new stickers to use for our sticker charts and some fancy plasters for our special Room 5 plaster stash.  Lucky us!  Thank you Avery and family!!!

Mrs Brown was on lunch duty today so it was lovely to spend some play time out with our little people and see all the friendships develop.  We watched a clip on kindness  just before lunchtime that Finn’s Mum sent in called ‘Oat the Goat’, which was really great.  Kindness is so super important.

While the children are waiting to read their books with the teacher, they choose from a wide range of literacy activities.  We try and mix it up and do lots of different things to keep the classroom fun and exciting.  You have to love learning when you are 5!!!!!

Well done to Martin who got a reading certificate and congratulations to Avery and Scarlett who got writing certificates.  Keep up the great work!

I am still on a high from the Royal Wedding gorgeousness so to get some flowers today from a gorgeous family is just bringing too much joy!  Lucky Me!

How lovely to see Martin reading in the sun on Sunday.  Hope you enjoyed your library book Martin.  100 house points!!!!

Rey from Star Wars and one of the crayons from The Day The Crayons Quit.

…and one blast from the past… Dorothy from Oz and Spiderwoman…

…and a few from the teachers. The intermediate team were characters from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

The junior team stole the show I think thanks to some generous parents letting us borrow their outfits from the quiz night fundraiser last year.  From the book, The Day The Crayons Quit.
