Brave Book Buddies

Our photo Talk stories we created using 

Brave Book Hero pictures as a part of our 

Intensive Oral Language this term,

Jack was a smart clever boy. He cut the bean stalk and made the enormous giant fall down into his Mother’s garden. BOOM! fell the giant. Jack was the hero because he  made a clever plan and saved himself from the giant and got the golden hen.

The witch was mixing and making some food in a big pot. She wanted to put Hansel in and cook him for a meal. Hansel put a chicken bone out of the cage and said, “I am too skinny for you to eat me.” The witch thought it was his finger because she could not see very well. Clever Hansel.

Hansel and Gretel got lost in the forest. They found a lolly house. They started eating lollies and candies. The witch saw the children and came out of the house and said “Come in children, I will look after you.”

Sound experiments

In Term 1, we learnt about sound. we made some observations on  how is sound produced,how sound travels and reaches our ears. we drew pictures and labels to show our observations about sound.

Dancing grains - what happens when you tap the bowl with grains - what did we observe?  - we saw the grains dancing and moving - the grains VIBRATED.

Musical coat hangers

"I banged a metal coat hanger tied with a string. I could hear the ringing sound in my ear. It sounded like a bell ringing."

Musical wine glass  - "It sounded like an echo in a cave."

String telephone- 
"I could hear my friend talking on the other side."

Room 9 Painting Self Portraits

INTERESTING INSTRUMENTS

ROAD SAFETY - with Constable Cam

We started our term learning about Road Safety. 

Constable Cam visited us and took us out to show how to cross a road and be safe on the road.
We learnt about the signs and markings on the road.
We created a verb story as a part of our IOL -
We stopped on the footpath. We looked to left and looked to the right. When there's no cars coming, we walked safely to cross the road. 

"Constable Cam, there's no cars coming , I think we can cross the road now,. Let's walk across."

      


< Holding hands and walking on the footpath. 

< Crossing road with an adult.

"There's no cars coming our from the driveway, let's walk now"

< Looking for cars - Sneaky driveways










Car seat belt - we went for a ride in constable Cam's Police car. 

"Make it click, put on your seat belt and be safe."
