Bye room 7...

Hi everyone!
Just to let you know that I am at a new school this year called Mission Heights Primary.
Sad to say that this blog has therefore ended...but don't panic it will still be here, but no new posts will be added after this. Hopefully the new teacher in room 7 will start up a blog for 2010!
If you are keen to check out my new classroom blog however...come and visit us at

Our stop animation!

For our final assembly we had a colour theme so Room 7 decided to make a stop animation to a colour song we liked. We used lollies to make our pictures and had to take a photo every time we moved something. It took a whole day to make it but everyone got to make a picture each. We are VERY proud of this!!

Market day!

We had a fantastic market day a few weeks ago at the end of our money unit. We all got opportunities over a week to earn money in the classroom (play money of course!) and then we had a market day so we could spend it!! Both room 6 and 7 joined in and during the week we made stuff to sell on market day like jelly, popcorn, fairy bread, magnets, finger puppets and fruit kebabs. We had 15 minutes to be a seller so we had to work out change for people and 15 minutes to be a buyer where we had to work out what we could buy with our money. Mr Thew even came and joined in! It really helped us to learn about money and the value of things and it was heaps of fun too!

Jump Rope day!

Iron Brion

Last week Iron Brion visited our school and was talking to us about healthy food. We all got a yummy hamburger to eat! We got to do the Iron Brion boogy which we all enjoyed too!

We found this video on YouTube and thought it was really funny! We like how the guinea pigs follow the person round in a line...maybe we could train Bert and Ernie to do this??

Tabloid sports!

We had a great time doing tabloid sports on wild hair day. We had turns at different games and activities out on the astroturf. Lots of fun in the sun!

Spiral snakes!

After visiting the show of 'Snake and Lizard' we decided to make some spiral snakes to hang from the net in room 7. We took our time making patterns and colouring in carefully with pastel. We think they look bright and colourful...and not scary at all!

Check out Bert and Ernie!

We can not believe how much Bert and Ernie the guinea pigs have grown!
They are so friendly that they will eat out of our hand and sometimes we can even take them for a walk on a special guinea pig lead! They like to cuddle up inside our jumpers and listen to us read books! We love them so much!

Our holiday stories

Check out the voicethread of our holiday stories! We were all very busy over the holidays and have shared what we got up to. Each of us illustrated our stories and took a photo of it to go on the voicethread.

Skipping!

We are beginning our skipping programme for P.E. this term and in a few weeks we will have 'Jump off day' where we do lots of different skipping activities to music. Today was our first day trying to skip - some of us were amazing...and some of us need a wee bit more practise! Look at our wild hair in some of the photos! (we are getting ready for wild hair day on Friday!)

Lizards, lizards, lizards!

Look at our fabulous lizards!! We have been reading a book called Lizzie the little lizard and we are also going to see the show 'Lizard and Snake' next term so we decided to make our own lizards for the wall. We did drafts in our art books before enlarging them onto paper. We used mosaic squares to create patterns on our lizards and dyed them so they would be camouflaged in all our leaves! We think they look very cool!

Monkey's shoes!

Our shared book this week was Monkey's Shoes by Jill Eggleton. We loved reading it so much that we decided to record us reading it! Here it is with images we have drawn!
