Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!

Wow, what a fun Monday! It was great to come to school and talk about all the snowy adventures we had. Most of us went outside on Sunday night to play in the snow and loved having a snowfight! Others made snow angels and snow men and liked feeling the crunchy snow in their fingers. We are doing some writing this week about our experiences in the snow. We hope to share them with you soon.
Here is another wordle we made about the snow!

Wordle fun!

Room 21 had a great time on Friday making wordles. The one below shows which instruments Room 21 would like to learn. The electric guitar proved most popular, with keyboard in a close second!

Fun doing Gymnastics!

Room 21 has been having a lot of fun during Gymnastics. We have been doing rebounds onto mats, balancing on two different leveled beams, one big one and one little one. When we get to the end of the beam we can scoop and turn. We do roly poly's on the mat and use the springboard to jump onto the horse. Gymnastics is so awesome and we are learning heaps!
We will try and take some photos next week to add to this post so you can see us in action!

Welcome back to school!

Welcome back Room 21!
What a busy week we have had. We got stuck into our work from day 1, by doing some amazing reading, writing and maths. At our team assembly we sang a lot of songs, but one song that everyone in the Ferns team loved was Dynamite. Here is a You Tube clip of the person that does all the music for the song with his mouth! We thought that was very cool.
We have also been very busy this week learning how to take macro shots with a digital camera. It is different from taking photos of our friends of landscapes, because we have to focus on one thing extremely up close. Look out for a few examples of macro shots on our blog in the upcoming weeks.
