WALT create and perform a puppet show.

Room 10/11 had a great opportunity to create and perform a puppet show from scratch! They had to write the script, make the stage and props such as a butterfly, a cocoon, a caterpillar and different types of foods. They practised for a few weeks and developed their acting and understanding of stage performance. Take a look at Jayden's group’s performance. (Please click the title above the picture)

The big, fat caterpillar 

Setting description: The lake is like glass and the mountains are so beautiful. The sky is so blue and the sun is bright.  

Narrator: Once upon a time a cute little egg lay on a leaf and out popped a cute little caterpillar. 
Narrator: The little caterpillar started to look for some food. 
Narrator: First she found an ice-cream. It was too sweet and she vomited. 
Narrator: Then she found some candy and then she went so crazy! 
Narrator: She found some veggies and then she ate them. She said “Finally I got something yummy!”
Narrator: Then she was so sleepy she found a tree to make a cocoon. 
Narrator: She stayed in the cocoon for a few months. 
Narrator: After a few months, she popped out of the cocoon and then she was a beautiful butterfly.  
Narrator: She lived happily ever after.

Numberline


WALT use a number line to solve addition and subtraction.


In maths, we have been learning to use a number line to solve different types of addition and subtraction problems. We learned to find the first number in the equation on the number line first, then hop right to solve the addition problem and left for subtraction.

We are learning how to roll and mould clay to form the shape of a mussel shell and meat.


Room 10/11 have made the Mussel artwork for the Art Show that is taking place in Term 3 Week 9. We observed closely on what features green-lipped mussels have and learned to use clay to carefully mould its shape for both the shell and the meat. After, we used the sculpting tools to show different textures on the mussel. Then we used colours to paint the mussel shell and the meat to create the authentic look! Lastly, we used real sand from a beach to make our background.
