Good news and bad news for Room 26
Week 8
Good news!
Another busy week is beginning! We took our swan plants home today. Make sure you put them somewhere sunny with lots of water and you might attract a Monarch Butterfly!
Homework this week is all about preparing for Outdoor education and practising our songs for the Christmas show in Week 10.
Room 26 are super happy with their certificate from Pet Day. We won a certificate in the recycles pets competition, for our 'crazy caterpillars!
Bad news!
Sadly, 10 of our class tadpoles died over the weekend. room 26 are feeling sad about this. We think the tadpoles might have got sick from the grass we picked them, which might have had weed killer on it. We have one lovely tadpole left, so we are keeping our fingers crossed.

Congratulations on an awesome assembly children! You were all wonderful and did very well to learn so much in such a short space of time. Thanks to all the Mums and Dads that helped with learning lines!
This week will not be quite as hectic, but we are still a busy wee class! Swimming continues on Wednesday and Friday. We will be welcoming some small, wiggly creatures into our classroom for the rest of term this week. It will be interesting to watch them change and grow. I wonder if you can guess what they are?
Also this week we will start a 3 week Maths rotation afternoon. All the Year 1 and New Entrant classes will get the opportunity to visit all the other classes in our junior block and take part in fun maths games and activities. We will be learning more about the maths strands including, shape, rotation, weight, length, area and money. Get your maths brains on children!
Keep watching the growth of our seeds too! The sunflowers are starting to come up and we are waiting expectantly for the Swan plants.

We have been learning about using money this week, recognising coins, and how to add up coins. Ask your child if they know what coins you need to buy different things with. What coins could you use to buy an apple? What coins do you need for the newspaper?
Hannah M's mystery object was........an ice-cream scoop! She said " My object is smooth and is made from metal. It is silvery grey with a bit of a bend in it. You find it in the kitchen and use it to help you with ice-cream". Great clues Hannah!

Welcome back!
Week 2
Hello Children and Parents! Welcome back to Term 4. I know you have had a great start to Term 4 with Mrs Collins, whilst I have been in England visiting my family. Here are a few links to things we will be learning about this week!Miss Stephenson has bought us a gift from England! It's a book called 'Paddington at the Palace' by Michael Bond. It's a story about a Bear visiting the Queen in London. We will be using this book for reading and writing this week and to help us learn more about sketching in Art. If you would like to enjoy some more Paddington stories, go to this link on 'Youtube': www.youtube.com/watch?v=529Lr8i_EBO
Room 26's big question for this term is 'What are life cycles?'. This week we will start off by learning more about plants and growing our own seeds, including mustard seeds and sunflowers. We will be learning about colour mixing in art by painting our own versions of Vincent Van Gogh's 'The Sunflowers'. See this link for more information about Vincent Van Gogh and his work:
