MISS READ INDEED!

How lucky were we today to have a special art lesson with Arahoe School's art teacher Miss Read.
She taught us about primary colours and how to make secondary colours.
We are going to experiment with the colours next.
We will use our new learning about contrasting colours to decorate our window story display!

HEY YOU!

Someone was watching Miss Ellis making breakfast on the weekend!  Yes, she was making eggs on toast. Awkward!

DYLAN, TOBY AND ANYA CLIMB THE BEAN TO GREEN

Congratulations Dylan, Toby and Anya for climbing the Reading beanstalk to Green level. 
Super strategies they use are: sounding out words, and re-reading sentences if they don't make sense. 
Congratulations!  We are proud of you!

SPRING INTO SPRING!

This morning we went for a walk and found blossoms on the fruit trees in the orchard. 
It is wonderful seeing what is happening in the garden and our environment at spring time.
We will start the Compost Kids Social Club on Fridays at lunchtime and get some vegetables growing. 
It was a lovely day to eat our lunch on the steps.  We will need to bring our hats on sunny days.

Spring is in the air!

We are learning to read words we use a lot.

Today we found the word 'in' on our word detective hunt.
We found it in our poem called Bubbles.
What words will we find tomorrow?
