Hallowe'en Walk Friday 23rd October

We went on our Witches Walk today. It rained but then it cleared up nicely and we went for our walk around Renmore. We were all dressed up. It was such a scary sight. There were witches, skeletons, goblins, ghosts, spidermen, and lots more characters. As we were walking lots of people waved at us and beeped their horns. We collected lots of money for the school and a big "Thank you" to everyone who helped to raise money. After the walk we went back to the classroom and had a party. Happy Hallowe'en!!!

Our Classroom at Hallowe'en Time

We have a very spooky classroom at the moment. There are lots of ghosts, witches, skeletons and pumpkins in Room 1. Beware!!!!!

Hallowe'en Art

It's Hallowe'en time. We have been very hard at work making lots of things. If you look at our pictures you can see we painted pumpkins, sponge painted ghosts and made some scary bats. We are so excited and we are really looking forward to Hallowe'en. We've learnt lots of songs about witches, ghosts and goblins. Our classroom is looking very spooky with lots of ghosts and pumpkins. Beware if you enter.

Sowing Daffodils 17th October 2009

Today we learned all about plants. Plants need water, soil and sun light to grow. Ms.Crotty gave each of us a daffodil bulb and a flower pot of soil. We each held our bulbs and whispered to it telling it to grow strong and to come up in the Springtime. Then we placed our bulbs in our pot of soil and then we watered them. We are going to take care of them everyday by watering them and leaving them in the classroom. We will keep a careful eye on them until the Spring time when our daffodils will flower.

Dancing Raisins 9th October 2009

Today we did a little experiment. Firstly we put some raisins into water and we predicted what would happen. The raisins went straight to the bottom of the jar. Then we put some raisins into fizzy 7up and the raisins started to dance up and down. We even put some music on while the raisins danced. We learnt a new word "carbon dioxide". It helped the raisins to dance. We had great fun watching them.

Sponge Snails

We love to do art every week in Room 1. We made Sponge Snails this week. We used sponges and lots of different colours to sponge down on the page over the stencil. You can see a picture of us doing our art. We wear old art t-shirts and we carry out the activity at the art table.

Our Groups

In Room 1 we try really hard to co-operative and listen to our teacher. If we try really hard we might get a sweet or a sticker. Each group has a name. We have the elephants, the tigers, the bees and the spiders. We all work hard to tidy our tables, sit nicely, to listen to fold our arms and if we try really hard we get a star for our group and then we get a sweet / sticker when we get 5 tickets for our group.
