We had so much fun in our classroom this week with iPads. 
We made audio books today with a buddy. We found cool pictures and then recorded our voices onto the iPad to make our own books.
We also use the iPads for maths activities. It's really good fun challenging your buddy to a maths game.

                                               

                                   
                                               

We had "twins" in our classroom this week!
 Hunter and Jack both wore the same T-shirt and
blue jeans to school on the same day.
We all thought that was quite funny.

Production Writing

This week we have been writing about the production. We all wrote about how we were feeling about the up-coming production and what we thought about our costumes. Here are some of our great stories.

In the production I am in the Wiggles song. There is going to be more than 100 people at the production. I am excited to be on stage for my first time in front of 100 parents. My costume is going to be purple because I am in the Jeff's group.

By Verity

In the production I am an Egyptian. I am feeling nervous and the best thing about the costumes are the jewels and the snakes on the headband. I am feeling nervous because I might do the wrong thing at the wrong time.

By Oscar



In the production I am an Egyptian and I am scared because I have never ever done a production before. I know my costume is going to be great because it is sparkly and shiny. 

By Nikita



In the production I am an Egyptian. The costumes are very sparkly and there's lots of gold. I am scared because so many people are going to be watching. I do not want to wear the wigs. We are all going to wear headbands. We are going to perform on a stage.

By Leighton


In the production I am an Egyptian. I feel scared because I might do the wrong thing at the wrong time. I hope my grandma will make it to the production. We practice lots of times, (it's hard). Our costumes have jewels that sparkle, glimmer and shine. There's lots to learn so I have to learn fast.

By Eleanor


In the production I am a Wiggle. I am driving the Big Red Car. I like the production because the actions are amazing.

We rock at reading in Rata 5. This is one of our favourite times of the day. We love reading from our reading boxes.
