Today we ate worms.....

Not real worms!! We are looking at the letter j this week, and we decided to make some jelly worms. We had to cross our fingers as Miss Eyre wasn't sure if they were going to work, but phew, they did.

 

Here's what they looked like on Pinterest.

 

Here's what they looked like in Room 6! Nailed it!

 

We also had some students bring in some home learning.

 

Vivian loves to watch Frozen and she made a book with pictures in it which she will write in.

 

Oscar loves Ultraman, a cool cartoon. It was all in Chinese, so we looked at the pictures and made predictions about what was happening in the story.

 

Thanks for sharing, Oscar and Vivian!

Here are our new friends

 

Harold and the Life Education caravan

"We be safe by putting our helmets on" - Hayley
"We need to eat fruit to be strong and help ourselves" - Oscar
"We need lots of sleep because it helps us to grow" - Felix
"I learned to drink some milk to help our teeth and our bones" - Vivian
"Eat fruit" - Richard
"Don't drink juice because your body doesn't like the sugar" - Kyle
"We are all special" - Megan
"VIP means Very Important Person" - Miss Eyre
"There were stars in the caravan and the sun came out" - Ben
"Water doesn't have sugar" - Joshua
'We liked the stars in the caravan" - Josh
"Yogurt is healthy" - Diya

We loved the being in the caravan today, and we are excited about goin in on Friday.

Mo Willems books

Ruma Ono love Mo Willems books. Here is one of our favourites, 'We are in a book', staring Piggie and Elephant. We also love his books about Pigeon. They are so funny!

A beautiful day at Cornwallis Beach

 

Here we are on the bus to our Junior and Middle School picnic.

 

First stop, morning tea!

Look at our healthy lunches and snacks.

 

We made sandcastles with Miss Park.

 

Kayden loved being in the water!

 

So did we!

Uh, oh, where is your body, Felix?

 

 

Ben did some writing in the sand.

 

Finally, the bus trip home. What a fantastic day. Miss Eyre would like to give a huge thanks to all the parents who came on the day and made it such a success.

We like to fill buckets in Ruma Ono

Here is a story that we are reading in class. Tell your family how you fill people's buckets.

We love swimming

 

Look at us, so eager to get into the water on a hot summers afternoon!

 

Wow, a flip in the water!

 

We made a huge whirlpool to warm up and the water was turning so fast.

 

Ruma Ono love swimming. Our swimming days are Thursdays and Fridays. Don't forget your togs!

Lunch box statistics

We used our lunch boxes to make a pictograph too. Tell your family what our graph was called? What was the colour of most of the lunch boxes?

 

 

Then we graphed it for our wall.

Statistics and Smarties

We are smarties in Ruma Ono and we are learning about statistics with Smarties!

Here are some of our pictographs that we made today.

 

 

We organised the colour piles.

 

Then we put the smarties on our page before we coloured them in.

We got to eat the special treat afterwards!

Welcome to the class of 2014!

Welcome to (and back to) school Ruma Ono. I am so delighted to have you in my class this year!!

 

 

 

 

Here we are under our tree in summer. I wonder what will happen to the tree as the year goes on. Tell your family what you predict will happen to the leaves in autumn.
