French Toast

Today we made French Toast.

It was very simple to make. We used eggs, milk, pepper and bread. It tasted scrumptious! Some of us have made it before, but for some of us it was the first time. We think we could make it at home for our parents and brothers and sisters. We think they would enjoy it just as much as us.

We are busy now writing the procedure for how we made it.

Stay tuned on our Writing Space so you can use our recipe to make yourself a scrumptious meal or snack!

Fun times to be had in...France!

Bonjour!

We are writing from France. Today we boarded our plane and got to try some croissant on the way. We all loved it and even had seconds.

What we know about France already...

• The flag in blue, white and red.
• The capital city of France is Paris.
• France is in Europe.
• Their currency is Euro.
• It has the highest mountain in Europe, called Mount Blanc.
• In most parts of France they have cool winters and mild summers.
• More than 300 different types of cheeses are made in France.
• France is famous for the Eifel Tower, the Louvre and the Tour de France.

We have also looked at some songs in French, Alouette and Frere Jacques. We tried singing a number song too, but we think the Japanese version might have been easier.  

In maths today we played some fun games to help us with our money, time and fraction concepts. We have been busy learning about all of these things over the past few weeks so it was great to use what we have learnt in a game.

We have library this afternoon so we will have to update you some other time on what exciting things we do.

Magical Music & Melbourne Cup Madness!

This morning we went to watch and listen to Jonas from Africa with his instruments. He played lots and lots of different beats on so many different types of African instruments. He also sang along and told us some stories from Africa. Jordan and Arron from our class were especially lucky because they got to go up and play some instruments with Jonas. Our favourite instrument was the  Djimbe (it's an African Drum). He loves playing music because it makes him feel happy and want to dance.


Today is Melbourne Cup Day. It is when there is a big horse racing event held in Melbourne. At school we got to make a hat to wear to our 'Mission Madness' hat parade. We all donated a gold coin to raise money for the missions. It feels good to help other people, especially the Indigenous community in Northern Territory. The whole school looked amazing with all their different hat creations. It was fun parading around for everyone to see and even more exciting watching the horses race. 


We hope you enjoy looking at our photos and like our hats. Feel free to leave us a comment.

So far we have created our passports, packed our suitcases and created a world map. We are all set to begin travelling next week. Did you know there are 7 continents in the world? Australia, Antarctica, North America, South America, Europe, Asia and Africa.

This term in English we are writing procedures. This week we wrote instructions on how to make a paper aeroplane. Another person in the class had to have a go at making the plane using our instructions. Some were successful and some didn't work. We have learnt that it is important to be very clear when writing instructions and that we need to include verbs and pictures. We had fun testing the planes to see how far they could travel.

We look forward to learning so much this term and being able to share it all with you along the way! Stay tuned and feel free to leave us a comment.

Marvelous Maths!

This exciting term we have been learning about number, measurement, money, mental computation strategies, problem solving and investigations.

We have had fun doing a maths investigation on measuring. One task was to draw a map of the school and measure the quickest way to travel past every classroom in the school. We had to think of any shorter ways and draw them on our map.

A problem solving task we did this term was the question 'There are 10 animals in a room. How many legs could there be? What is the greatest number possible? What is the least number possible?' What do you think? We had lots of different answers and we made a class book with all our ideas.

We have also been going on Mathletics. Sometimes Miss A sets us tasks.

One thing that we have loved doing is extended notation. Here is an example...

6532 = 6000 + 500 + 30 + 2



Next term we hope to get better at multiplication and division!!

Terrific Thursday

This term we have been looking at plants. We have been learning about the life cycle of a plant. Yesterday we began growing our own beans and we look forward to watching them germinate.

Some students with their seeds.

Today we have been learning all about money. We have played games and pretended to be shop owners and customers. We learnt all about notes, coins and giving change.




Having fun with money!



At recess and lunch today our school held a mission market. The mission market is to raise money for people less fortunate than ourselves. Some classes baked goodies for us to eat and prepared games for us to play at a small cost. We also were allowed to come in free dress clothing. All money raised goes to the poor. We hope we raise a lot of money.
