After recess, we played Tutpup. We're getting really good at it, with many of us going up to higher levels. It's a great way for us to practise our mental maths facts.
Last week for news, Meg brought in a pom-pom she had made at home. We thought it was so cool, we wanted to make some of our own! Today, we watched a video about how to make them. We also asked Meg questions about how she made hers. Then, we set to work! We had all brought in wool from home and it was great to see all the different textures and colours. There were lots of tangled strings, but we got the hang of it very quickly and everybody had fun! Most of us aren't quite finished yet, so we'll finish them on Monday and then post pictures here. Here's the video we watched and the pom-pom Meg made today.

HI Kiara,
ReplyDeleteWe had Old McDonald's farm come to our school today.
My favourite animal was the black and white goat. I combed it's hair with a brush. (Caleb)
My favourite was a chicken which had a mohawk, it was like a rooster. (Ben)
Have a good weekend.
Hello Kiara,
ReplyDeleteI see you have made some Pom Poms in class. I hope you made 2 small Pom Poms that you can sew on your slippers. They would look great.
Love
Pa
Thank-you Alex, for your tutorial on how to post a comment. I had forgotten how to do it, but we have looked at your class blog several times and really enjoyed it.
ReplyDeleteLove from Grandma and Nannie
Wow Alex! I really enjoyed your class blog. When Victor gets home from school, I'll show it to him and ask him to show it to his teacher. They usually have computer time in their class on Friday (tomorrow) so maybe you'll hear from a grade 1 class in Kingston, Ontario, Canada.
