ARIA'S LAST DAY

Today was Aria's last day at Clyde School, as her family is moving into Alexandra. 

Aria's mum baked us this special 'Room 5' cake to mark the day.

Thank you very much for the cake, Lena. 

Enjoy your new house and school Aria.

ROOM 5 AND 6 FAIRYTALE CASTLE.

Rooms 5 and 6 have created a wonderful fairytale castle between their classrooms. We can get into Room 6 by crossing the drawbridge and going through the castle! We have decorated our side of the castle with bricks and crests that have things that are special to us on them. 

TOTEM POLES.

We have completed our Totem Poles and they are now on display in the office foyer for all to see.

They look great with the Room 6 children's individual poles that are also displayed in the foyer.

A Morning on the ice.

Watch us zoom around the rink during our morning skating lesson.

DANDELION CLOCK

I'll find a dandelion clock

And break it off with care.
To tell the time I'll count the blows
Until the stalk is bare.

One o'clock, two o'clock,
three o'clock, four
Five o'clock,six o'clock,
seven o'clock, more.
Eight o'clock, nine o'clock ten o'clock, there -
Dandelion parachutes
everywhere.

Our shared poem this week is called 'Dandelion Clock' written by Joyce Le Pine.
We went out into a lovely autumn afternoon today and discovered many dandelion parachutes on our school playing field.

Numbers to 10

HERE IS A SNAPSHOT OF OUR DAY. During maths today the Room 5 learners worked on ordering and forming groups to 10. We used flashcards, worms counters, ladybirds counters and threaded number beads. We finished by playing snakes and ladders on the giant board outside.

ROOM 5 FACES. Can you guess who they are?

We have many things in common and many differences. These things are part of what makes us all special and unique. We have been talking about some of the things that make us special. We all live in the Clyde/Alexandra area. Here are our houses.
