Fun Run!

Well done to Oscar, Camo, Ruby, Mya, Mitchell and Jaden for coming in the top 8 in their fun run yesterday.  The obstacle fun run was enjoyed by everyone and it was great to see everyone participating in the fun event!

Here is Ruby's story about the Fun Run.

I went to the fun run.  I came seventh in my race because i went fast.  When i had finished my chest was pumping really fast.  My legs were tired because i ran fast.  My favourite was jumping over the hurdles and going around the poles of wood and going under the trampoline.  It was fun at the fun run.

Secret Codes

Yesterday Room 1 had fun making secret codes .  You may have seen these codes in newspapers or on business cards. They are called quick response codes (QR Codes) and can hold text, web addresses, maps etc.  We made codes for facts about Japan and our codes talk. We used this site http://qrvoice.net/ to make our codes.
To read the codes you need to have a QR reader on your smart phone or ipad. These are free from the App Store or Google Play.  You are also able to create your own codes using those apps. So if you have a phone download the app and have a go at reading our book.  If not come into class and you can use our ipad to scan the codes and see the artwork we made to match.

Here is some of the artwork with the codes attached

Poor Amy!

Everyone in Room 1 was sad to hear that Amy had an accident at school on Wednesday.  An ambulance came and took her to hospital.  She has a badly broken arm.
Hope sent us this photo of you.  It was great to see you looking happy!  Get better soon!
Here are some messages for you Amy:

Poor Amy! I hope you feel better soon.  She fell off the monkey bars.  I like you.  I want to play with you.  - Tyla

Amy went in an ambulance because she broke her arm.  The doctors made her go to sleep so they could fix her arm. - Oscar

The ambulance came to our school to get Amy to the hospital.  Amy had some ice-cream at the hospital to make her feel better. We miss you Amy!  - Zane

Amy, I miss you.  I hope you are better soon.  I hope it doesn't hurt too much
from Jordan.

I miss you Amy, very much.  I hope you come to school tomorrow from Sage.

Poor Amy, I hope you come back soon because I want to play with you and I miss you.

Mrs Beswick's Patchwork

On Friday Mrs Beswick brought her patchwork quilts to show us because we are learning all about shapes.
We learnt that when shapes all fit together it is called tessellation.
Mrs Beswick made lots of different patterns with hexagons, squares, triangles,  rectangles and even circles.
We thought she was one fantastic and clever lady!

We wrote stories about her Patchwork.  We hope you enjoy them.
