Monday 5th September-Friday 9th September

This week we got to meet our grade 9 buddies who will be writing us a special story. We had great fun meeting them and telling them lots of information about ourselves to help them write their stories for us. We even got to show them around our classroom. 

It was great fun!

Some of the Fire Dashers decided that they wanted to start up their own Restaurant. We had a class vote on what we wanted to call our restaurant and then the Fire Dashers began creating and developing their restaurant. 

They researched menu designs and made their own menus, they created a sign for the restaurant and even created a seating plan to help the waitresses find the tables.

I thoroughly enjoyed visiting the Firer Dasher Cafe. The Pizza was delicious and the service was even better!

Yet again we have been very busy during readers and writer workshop. 

In writers workshop we are trying really hard to put detail into our stories and some of us are even trying to add words to our stories. Hopefully we might be able to think about holding a publishing party to celebrate our finished books, but first we might need to edit them.

During one of our Maths Workshops this week we had a visit from Mr Steve who taught us how to play a number sense game. Luckily we managed to beat Mr Steve and keep the tickle monster away!

In centers this week we have been creating space pictures with name rockets, counting backwards, practicing our handwriting, learning how to play a game fairly within a group and talking like a robot to help us break down words.

We also have lots of new toys in our classroom and we have had great fun exploring these new toys.
