Counting Down to Christmas

With just one month until the big day,  today we were writing about Christmas.  Here are some of the amazing stories our class wrote today:

I can't wait for Christmas because Santa gives us presents.  I want my present to be a teddy bear from Santa.

- Julianna

- Arkar

I am looking forward to Christmas and Santa is going to bring some presents under the tree.  I am excited to see Christmas and I love Santa.

- Central

I can't wait to get a present.  I love Christmas.  I've been waiting for Christmas.  I am going to make a card for Santa.  I am going to put cookies and milk out because he has to have some breakfast before he puts the presents under the tree.

I like Santa because he is putting the rainbow decorations on the tree.  Santa is coming to my house.  I can't wait to get my present.

I like Christmas because my family is going to be having a spikey Christmas tree.  I can't wait for Christmas because it is in one month.

Sharing our fireworks experiences

The learners in Class 20 were keen to share their fireworks experiences.  We spent several days writing stories about what we did, and created some great art works on the iPads by using a black background as a starting point.  Here are some examples of our work:

Be safe when you do your fireworks, even with the Mums and Dads be safe too!

Happy Halloween!

Class 20 has been asking to write about Halloween for the past few days.  They were able to contribute some amazing ideas and have created some great stories unsupported!

I like dressing up as a skeleton because it is fun and because you can scare everyone.

Tonight it is going to be Halloween and I like it because it is fun.

Art Attack

Earlier this week Class 20 wrote about the Art Attack immersion assembly which we all really enjoyed.  Here is a sample of our writing:

I like when Team 2 mix colour and I know that yellow and blue make green at assembly.  - Oalii

I liked it when Miss Vaafusuaga dressed up like a palette.  - Central

I liked the tablet on Mr Burt's tummy.  - Francis

At the assembly the artist was painting a picture.  - Deborah

I like the artist and I liked when Ms George threw a chocolate fish. - Bradley

Create & Share ..... independently!!!

Today during reading, Deborah and Nature read a story displayed in the classroom which we created as a class a few weeks ago. They videoed each other to share their learning with Ms George, Mrs Belt & the rest of the class - all independently! Amazing effort girls - we love that you are so keen to share and are so confident with using the iPads to create and share!
