Birthday 'tea'

Today we celebrated Eliana's birthday. Eliana brought in some special treats shaped like tea cups for us all to share. We had a lot of fun pretending to drink our 'tea' and even more fun eating it!
Some of our girls spent their whole lunch time practising a dance for Eliana by spelling her name. It was a happy day.
1/2DW are so thoughtful!

Sink or Float?

Today 1/2DW did another Science experiment! We had to guess what would sink or float and then test it out!

It was so much fun and there was lots of conversation around the water trays about things that sink or float and why.

Listen to Reading Tumblebooks

As part of Daily 5 we have been 'Listening to Reading'. This helps us to see what a fluent and expressive reader sounds like and it helps our vocabulary.

There is a great website called 'Tumblebooks' and we love listening to the stories.

http://www.library.camden.nsw.gov.au/Childrens/childrensResources.aspx

You need to click on Online Resources and then Tumblebooks will be at the bottom of the page.
This is a video of us with our new favourite book.

In 'Listen to Reading' we just listen, not talk, but we have been listening to this book at other times too.
