Jottings Book

In the holidays I decided to make my own jottings book so I cold jot down the stories I want to share with you. Now I have so many notes in my book to share with you all and so many stories to tell. Has anyone else been using their jottings book these holidays? Remember you might draw/jot pictures about your holidays, memories or observations. Your jottings book is for you to jot down your ideas in and then when we get back to school you can use your notes to help you write. This is what authors do!
Remind me to share with you my story about one of my favourite teachers, Mrs McBreen and her prize box.
Have a great day.

Term 2 starts soon!

HELLO ROOM 8,

Wow that feels a bit weird - we started the year as Room 4 which quickly changed to Room 3 and now we are in the amazing Room 8.

I am loving our new classroom and can't wait for you all to see how it looks. We have a bit more room in this classroom and we have "The Lab" which some of you will be allowed to work in for special tasks.


This term we are having a big science focus and learning how scientists classify animals.
We are going to learn some exciting new words like, vertebrates, invertebrates, mammals, prey, predator, camouflage and many more. We will look at some animals anatomy and the similarities and differences between some animals. I am so excited about this topic and I know you will be too. Later on in the term we will be writing information reports about different animals, making posters and other presentations. It is going to be awesome! So make sure you get plenty of rest because the next 10 weeks are going to be jam packed with learning - especially science. 

See you all Monday!
Miss McDonald

Awesome writing

The Adventure

My friends and I were playing a game. We had a lot of fun playing the game then we went back to class.

Clouds flying in the sky. Sun sparkling in the sky too. Green leaves sparkling. Green sparkling grass. Worms squiggling and eating soil.Bird's singing a little song.

My school dog is called Rosie. She has long fur all over her body. She likes wagging her tail a lot. One time Rosie whacked my leg but it didn't hurt.

John and Oli set off on an adventure to get a red deer. We saw one. We ran after it but it was to fast so we shot at it but we missed. But we shot one and gutted it and we took it home to eat.
