Leopards@taddy

 This morning in our heart-smart session we identified our strengths and achievements.  When someone had hold of the ball, they got to share their ideas with the class.  Here are some examples I noted down from the leopards… - The best thing about me is that I like helping people  -One word to describe me is unique - I am good at learning Spanish - I am great at learning new things  - I am great at being me  -The best thing about me is that I have so many good friends  - One word to describe me is caring  -I am great at driving my tractor 

We wanted to find out about louder and quieter sounds, so we set up a fair test to see what happened to the level of sound when we dropped an object.

On Monday the juniors performed their Island Assembly! From the facts and information we have been learning, to the island fashion show, I think we can all agree they did really well and the effort and hard-work they had put into their assembly and their learning really did show! I’m super proud of them all ☺️ Well done juniors! 

 Yesterday afternoon, the Benedetti Foundations came to our school and spent the afternoon delivering a music workshop to the juniors.  The juniors got to take part in exploring ways they could make their own music. 

 In our Heartsmart lesson today we read the story of Boris the Robot who was built from old gears and cogs and other bits and bobs. He loved living in his home with Amber and Josh and the way they made him feel like family. We discussed what qualities make a healthy family life and added them to our mixture and served up a healthy family recipe!

In topic this week we have been looking at fabrics that come from different islands. We have looked at Batik from Bali, Calico from Jamaica, Tartan from Scotland, Lamba from Madagascar and Cowichan  Tribe Knitting.  We have had a close look at each of the fabrics in detail and focussed on some of the patterns. Today we got to choose our favourite design and produce our own version on our own piece of fabric!
