Greedy Cat stories

Greedy Cat by Joy Cowley

We wrote about our favourite parts of the Greedy Cat stories.

Click on the cover of our book so you can read our stories.

Greedy Cat

Room 4 has been reading a lot of books about Greedy Cat.

He is a cheeky cat who likes to sneak food.

We have read these stories together in class. 

We have even recorded ourselves reading too.

Maths Games

We are learning how to play some maths games.

Some of us learnt how to play Number Bingo. You have to read the numbers carefully. It is a fun way to practice reading numbers.

We have also been using the maths links on our blog to play maths games. 

Our favourite ones at the moment are Ladybird Spots and Teddy Bear.

Zucchini Cake

We have been baking again. 

This time we showed the Migrant Mothers how to make a zucchini cake. 

Room 4 finds it hard to say Migrant Mothers so we call them The Ladies. Their classroom is in Room 6 where there is a kitchen.

Everyone helped baked the cake. 

We grated the zucchini and measured the ingredients.

Anna even got to use a fancy machine called a cake mixer. The kids reminded Anna it wasn't a toy and to stop playing with it!

 

The cake tasted delicious. We loved the chocolate chips on top!

The Ladies said they would cook for us. We can't wait to see what they will make.

We think next time we will bake scones with them.

Thank you to our friend in Room 12 for giving us a new zucchini cake recipe. 

The Koha Table

Every Wednesday Room 12 organises a Koha Table at morning tea time.

People bring things they have been growing in their gardens at school or at home to share or swap with other people.

We had 3 tomatoes that we had grown but Room 4 really needs a zucchini so we can make another zucchini cake.

We swapped our tomatoes for a zucchini.

Georgia brought some grapes from her house and so we could also have a taste of them. Some people thought they tasted sour and other people thought they tasted delicious.

Here is the zucchini Room 4 is going to use in the zucchini cake we will make.

Thanks Room 12 for organising the Koha Table.

We love sharing.

Fundamental Skills

We have been practicing running, galloping, leaping, skipping, and hopping. Sonja from Project Energize came and taught us some new games.
Some movements we found easy but some movements are tricky.

We are learning to keep trying when we find things hard.

Take a look at the video of us moving.

Butterfly Pictures

In the Orchard we used Kidpix to draw some butterflies. 

It can be tricky using the tools to draw but we keep practicing so we get better.

 

These are the paint tools we use to make a background.

We use these tools to draw.
