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.

Girls Just Want to Have Fun!

A couple of snapshots from the Disco last Friday. Sorry the photos aren't that good, it was pretty dark and the flash didn't work that well.  Thanks for boogieing with me girls.  It was heaps of fun!  Can't wait until the next
disco!

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.

Maths in Room 1

Last week Mrs Potts took Beau, Mitchell, Neesha, Oscar, Jaden, Hunta and Henry to Room 21 to do some maths with Mrs Potts in front of other teachers. All of the children were fantastic and worked so hard. They even got to go back in the afternoon and make a map which was heaps of fun. Here are some photos of us working hard at maths time.

Caterpillars and Butterflies

Tia-Lily bought some butterflies that had hatched out of their cocoons for news.  Mrs McFadyen told us about some naughty moths and caterpillars that had got into her breadcrumbs, so we wrote some caterpillar and butterfly stories.

This is my caterpillar.  My caterpillar is eating food because it is hungry.

I have got a butterfly plant. There are caterpillars on it.

I hate the white butterflies because they go in the vege patch.

How do caterpillars get in packets that are closed?
