Gymnastics

We have started gymnastics this term. We have eight activities that we are focusing on. These include the balancing beam, balancing balls, forward rolls, balance boards and much much more. Today we took videos of the different activities and gave each other feedback on what we did well and what we need to still work on.

Kelly Sports

This term we are participating in Kelly Sports once a week. This week we learnt some small ball skills. We used tennis balls to catch and pass. It was a lot of fun!

Information reports

Yesterday Alainah's information report featured in the school news letter....

Flies are flying insects
A house fly flaps its wings 200 times in 4 seconds. Robber flies are hunters. Robber flies have powerful legs that are strong enough to catch insects. House flies are strong bodied flies with beautiful patterns on their backs. Hover flies are fast flyers. The hover flies wings beat so fast that human eyes can’t see it flap.
I think flies are fascinating animals because they fly around and also they can live anywhere.

Alainah.

Great start to your writing Alainah!

Bug hunting

This term our inquiry unit is based on insects. We have been bug hunting outside our classroom and finding some pretty exciting insects. Here are some photos from our bug hunts...

Information reports

Our class has been writing information reports. Our inquiry is based on insects so we have been doing lots of reports on different insects. When we write an information report we have to have a title, a general statement, a description and an evaluation.

We want to share a part of our writing with you and have decided that we want to share our descriptions on nits.


Nits are little, flat and soft. They try and turn the colour of your hair. Nits live in our clean, long and warm hair. They like clean hair because the dirty hair is oily and they can easily slip off the hair. When they are on clean hair they swing and use their hooks and claws. Nits have eyes but they can only see if it is day or night. They feel with their feelers.

Head lice live in human hair. Head lice suck blood from your head. They are transparent and have hooks that look like claws. Head lice use their hooks to hook onto other people’s hair. They look like they are soft and flat. Head lice try to change colour when they are in different coloured hair. They do this because the head lice don’t want people to see them.

Nits are little tiny insects that can be black, white or even brown. Nits live in our hair and they have little hooks to stick to our hair. Nits use their stylets to suck our blood.

A nit is a small insect that lives in your hair. It can be transparent, brown or the colour of your hair. Nits put a liquid in your hair so that you can’t feel them sucking your blood. Nits have sharp mouth parts called stylets. Baby head lice are called nymphs. Head lice have claws that catch onto people’s hair. Nits are flat and soft. Head lice drink you blood every five hours. Head lice can catch anyone so you better watch out!
