Letters to Australia

Last term, we wrote some letters to Sidney in North Queensland .

Here is Sidney and his little sister reading them all.  We are looking forward to receiving some letters soon!

Australia Day!

Here is a little taste of our Australia Day!

We dressed up, made anzac biscuits, decorated a huge Aboriginal totem pole and finished off the day with smoothies and dancing to Kylie Minogue! A very fun end to a busy half term.

Mmmmm smoothies!

Aboriginal inspired pictures

We have been learning about Aboriginal dot painting and have been looking at Aboriginal art paintings and how they are created by a series of dots.  This week we designed an Australian animal using just dots then had fun using the other end of a paintbrush to recreate our design on coloured paper.  Here are some photos of us in action!

Creating Roald Dahl biographies

This week we have been researching facts about Roald Dahl ready to create our non-chronological reports next week.  We worked together in three's and four's and used the iPads to search for facts.  We wrote the facts in our jotters as clauses and then practiced joining clauses together with conjunctions to create interesting sentences for our report readers!  Here are some photos of us in action!
