We  are  learning  about  measuring  length  in  maths  this  week. 

Here  we  are  making  stingrays  to  measure.

Here  they  are   ready  to  use! 

Little Shop Sorting

Today  we  had  great  fun  sorting  Little  Shop  Minis  in  different  ways

Some  of  the  Minis  belonged  in  more  than  one  hoop  so  we  overlapped  the  hoops.

Ag Day!

Watching the Ag Day Show

We  had  a  great  time  meeting  up  with  the  Room  1  kids  showing  animals  at  Ag Day.

We  also looked  at  some  of  the  calves.  

Next, we  were  off  to  the  food  stall  to  buy  some  yummy  food!

More  fun  was  yet  to  come.  We  helped  Austin  and  Olive  dig  up  their  potatoes!

What  a  great  day!!!

America

Today  Mrs  Volk  came  to  our  class  and  talked  to  us  about  America.

We  learned  that:

Los  Angeles  and  New  York  are  big  cities  in  America.

We  have  to  fly  in  a  plane  over  the  clouds  that look  like  snow  to  get  to  America.

America  is  where  the  first  McDonald's  was  built.

Disneyland  is  in  America. 

Mrs  Volk  read  us  a  story  written  by  a  famous American  author  Eric  Carle  called  'The  Very Hungry  Caterpillar'.

Thank  you  Mrs  Volk,  we  loved  having  you  visit  us  and  hearing  your  American  accent!

Reading Caterpillar

We  have  a  fun  new  tunnel  to  read  in at  reading time!

Switzerland Day

Hoi!

Today  we  learned  about  Switzerland  with  Mrs  Maurer!

Mrs  Maurer  told  us  about  the  Swiss flag.

Mrs  Maurer  showed  us  where  Switzerland  is  on  the  map.

Then  we  made  a  traditional hedgehog  or zorpf out  of  bread  dough.

First  we  rolled  the  dough  into  a   ball.

Next  we  pushed  one  end  to  make  the  hedgehog's nose.

Can  you  see  the  nose?

We   made   eyes  by  poking some  holes  in  the  dough  with  a  little  stick.

Then  we  poked  raisins  in  for  eyes.

Mrs  Maurer  showed  us  how  to  make  spikes  with  the  scissors.

Snip, snip, snip!

Next  we  put  our  hedgehogs  on  a  baking  tray  and  wrote  our  names  beside  them.

Mrs  Maurer  brushed  the  hedgehogs  with  egg  and  then  into  the  oven  they  went!

They  looked  so  delicious - we  couldn't  wait  to  eat  them.

Here  we  are  with  our yummy  hedgehogs!

Eating  them  was  the  best  part!

The  fun  and  learning wasn't  over.  Mrs  Maurer  also  gave  us  some  Swiss sausage  and  chocolate  to  taste!

Wow  we  loved  learning  about  Switzerland! 

Thank  you  Mrs  Maurer!!!
