Use your imagination

Right before the holidays we talked about using our imagination to create different things.  Here is the video we watched.
Just a quick reminder to everyone in Room 8 to use your fabulous and fantastic imaginations over the holidays.  When you get bored, just remember, everything and anything is possible when you use your imagination. So don't just sit there, imagine and create!!!
I hope you are having a great break :)

Facepainted

We were very lucky today!! We've been working really hard to fill our 'Jar of Marbles', by making good choices as a class.  As a reward for all our hard work Phoebe's mum, Alaina, came in to paint our faces.  Ollie chose a dinosaur.  Ella turned into a cat.  Alex was a tiger.  Robbie chose a dog.  Romilly was a sparkly cat.  Lilly Maree, Kiera and Caitlin chose pretty designs to wear.  Mackenzie turned into a witch. Rosie and Phoebe chose beautiful flower designs.
A big thank you to Alaina for painting our faces.  We loved it!!!  And a big pat on the back for filling up the jar, well done Room 8!

Jump Rope for Heart

Today we participated in Jump Rope for Heart.  We hopped, skipped, and jumped through many different and fun activities.  We especially liked Jump Jam (jumping to music), and wriggly snake.  We used hoops and ropes and jumped with partners, on our own and in groups.  Click on one of the pictures below and it will get bigger....maybe you will see someone you know.

Learning about volume

Yesterday we learned about volume.  We had 3 different boxes and we filled them up tightly with cubes.  Some of us thought the short fat box would hold the most, others thought the tall skinny box would hold the most.  We worked hard to fill the boxes and count the cubes.  In the end the tall skinny box held the most cubes (251 cubes).

Word Search

Today we learned how to complete a word search.  Phoebe said she sometimes does them in her Barbie book but today was the first time she was able to complete a whole word search on her own.  She was so proud of herself. Great work Phoebe!!
