Winter Collage Art on PhotoPeach
We loved making Winter Art Collages. Can you see the different media we used to create the feeling of Winter. First we blended cold colours from light to dark. We used dye to make the background feel even more wintery. The snowflakes were fun to make. We had to fold white circles into quarters and cut out small shapes around the edge. Be careful not to cut off all the fold! When we opened the circle back out we had created beautiful snowflakes. By ripping black paper we made the silhouette of a big old winter tree.The polystyrene pieces look like snow and of course the favourite part was adding glitter.

The meaning of equals
In maths we are learning about the meaning of equals. We think that we have created the longest
equation ever. Check out the blog to see
if you agree. We have been learning that
equals is a bit like a balance and both sides of the balance must be the
same. We were then very clever and
changed the equals sign to the addition sign. See the video below.
Adding on groups of 10.
We changed the equals sign to the addition sign and counted on 34 groups of 10. Do you know what the answer is?
Chameleon Calendar Art

Look at our stunning chameleon art. We used colour and pattern to camouflage the chameleon. Clever aren't we. These are going to be the designs used for calendar, card or diary art. They make awesome gifts for Christmas The order forms will be coming out soon.

Statistical investigations and what it means to be a "Data Detective".
We have been exploring number through statistical investigations. Look at what we have been learning. Look at our thinking in the slide show where we were learning to be "Data Detectives".
With a buddy we had to sort out the information and then display it. Lots of groups sorted the information out in different ways. We looked at and discussed the characteristics of a good graph. We were able to made factual statements about what we found. It is fun being "Data Detectives"!
Butterfly wings are symmetrical
Butterflies wings are symmetrical on PhotoPeach
We found out that butterfly wings are symmetrical. That means that the pattern and the colour are the same on both wings. We made some beautiful art works where we made the butterfly wings symmetrical. We drew a simple pattern with black crayon on one wing then we folded our paper in half and Mrs Jarvis ironed over the paper. The heat from the iron melted the back crayoned pattern onto the other side of the paper. We carefully coloured over the black outline. Notice how we carefully coloured each wing so that they were the same on each side. This makes the wings symmetrical!

We are learning about Place Value
We have been learning that numbers have a place and a value. Groupings of 10 are very important. Skip counting in 10's will help find the value of a number. Look at our learning.

Fire simulation and fire extinguishers

We watched how a fire extinuisher is used to put out some fires. The teachers learnt how to use the fire extinuishers. We are all learning how to keep ourselves safe!

Constable Chris and The Police Car
Constable Chris and the Police Car on PhotoPeach
We had a lot of fun in Constable Chris's Police Car. I think there maybe some budding Police Constables in Room 8. Wow, the siren is REALLY LOUD!! If you are in your car and hear the siren going you need to move out of the way and make a clear path for the police car to go through.
