The students drew themselves being a responsible school member:

Word Study- This week’s sounds were ar and ee. After writing their sentences, the students had a go at making up their own sentence.

Book Making- We have been continuing our study on the author/illustrator Pamela Allen. We have shared many of her stories together and the students are trying to use aspects of how she makes her books in their books.

Science- This week, we continued our learning about materials and their properties. We listened to the story of the 3 Little Pigs. The students had to draw the three houses made from straw, sticks and bricks. They then had to write a property of each of the materials.

Technologies- The students had a discussion about the different uniforms that workers wear. Their task was to draw a worker with their uniform on, and they had to try and label the different clothing items they wear and the equipment that they use.
