Hot Dog Day

Jack lined up to get his hot dog with his class at Wednesday lunch time.  He looked at the hot dog with great interest and pulled the batter off.  It was fantastic to see you trying new things.

Jack has had a wonderful term 3 learning and doing new things/activities.  Enjoy your holidays Jack.

Inventions Afternoon





Wednesday afternoon we got to share our inventions with the rest of the school.  Jack showed his sister Emma how his "Sunny Game" was played.  Jack also loved looking around at the other inventions and was very lucky to try out Logan's and Shaun's go-karts.  He thought the "sleepy Suit" was a major hit and gave Isaac a big cuddle.

Shapes


Jack likes to play matching games.  Here Jack is matching shapes and flashcards to the correct shape on the sheet.  Jack is also learning that shapes come in big and small sizes with the use of different flashcards. When you ask Jack which shape is the square etc he will point to it with little facilitation.
We are also introducing the word that matches the shape.

Dance Unit


Here Jack is dancing with Mrs Christiansen to One Direction
 This term we  have been learning to dance.
Rm7 and Rm1 have been learning to folk dance and Hip Hop.
Jack joins in for both the folk and hip hop routines. He loves to skip and clap during the folk dance and watches the other children with a big smile on his face.
Jack loves dancing to the One Direction song "What Makes You Beautiful" and with help is learning the moves.
Jack will be part of the dance display shown to the rest of the school.

PUZZLES



Jack has been working hard at doing 2 piece and 3 piece puzzles.  This is great for his hand eye co-ordination. When doing the 3 piece puzzles he is learning which part of the puzzle makes up the back of the animal and which part is the head.

Volcano Art

Jack loves doing art work.  He is exploring different ways to paint.  This past week we have been making volcanos using different ways to create our art piece.  Jack learnt to squeeze paint from a tube and also using a cotton ball to paint his master piece. 


Volcano Art by Jack

Jack will show off his Volcano Art in assembly with the rest of his class.

Sandpit Fun



Jack enjoys playing in the sandpit at lunchtime alongside other school children.  He likes to fill the dump truck up with sand and then tip it out.  He also likes to dig holes in the sandpit with help from the other children.

Game Time

Room one was exploring and playing different games to see if they could come up with a game invention of their own.  The boys were playing Twister and Jack thought this was a lot of fun.  Great to see Jack spending time with his peers.
