Some Super Spring Writing: Part six

Spring has sprung. Yesterday Room 16 went walking to look for signs of Spring. Flowers are coming out. At first the flowers look like a soft little pillow on the straight green stalk. The sun shines on the buds, encouraging them to open up. The blossoms are blooming beautifully in the sun. After their discoveries, Room 16 felt excited as they realised what they had found. Spring is finally here!

Spring has sprung at St Albans School. Yesterday Room 16 went for a walk to search for spring signs. On the brown bare twigs, the fresh green leaves were wet and sweet and blossoms are sprouting. Red tulips are sprouting too. After their walk, Room 16 felt excited.

Spring has sprung at St Albans School. Yesterday Room 16 went out looking for spring stuff. There are blue flowers at St Albans School. There are daffodils growing in the garden beside the office. The brown leaves are turning to a colourful yellow green. The birds are chirping. These signs of spring made Room 16 happy.

The Best White Bread Ever!

Today at school we made bread with Mrs Allen. Some of the ingredients were: water, salt and bread. When we put the bread mixture in and pressed start, the machine started to make a funny noise. After a while it stopped. Mrs Allen said that soon after morning tea, the bread will be ready. I'm looking forward to eating it.

Room 16 are making bread. There are two teams. The key ingredient is yeast, that makes the bread rise. I wish I could open the lid and eat it now! 

Mmmmm... what's that smell? It's the bread - it smells good. I wonder how much time until it is finished.

by Max

Today we made bread because it has to do with measuring and we're learning about measuring in Maths. 

Some of the ingredients we used were water, salt and butter. We used a bread machine. I got to put the ingredients in the machine and push the start button. The other group put too much salt in. I hope the bread is delicious.

Today I walked in the door and Mrs Allen told us that we were making bread. We got into two teams. We put water in a big pot with high grade flour, salt, white sugar and some other stuff.

It got quite messy, so, as always - the dumbest part of cooking (and why I don't cook), we had to clean up - boring!!!

I hope it's going to be ready soon. I'm hungry!

Today Room 16 made bread.  When I first came in I didn't know that we were making bread. I looked at the two machines, they were bread makers. We had to measure the ingredients carefully.
Wow the smell was really strong. Our class smelled like a bakery!

Reading and all that Jazz

We had new National Library books in the library corner today. That always makes us all happy.


These children taught us a game they had learned about in their reading book called "Hit the Kangaroo". It is a traditional Aboriginal game which provided spear throwing practice for children. We made a kangaroo out of a cardboard box and some spears from newspaper.
We have some keen warriors in Room 16, pity help any stray kangaroos they come across. Here are some action shots of the hunt.

Calendars, Cards and Diaries

You should have received an order form for the PTA Calendar fundraiser. The original art works are in a clearfile in the office so you can have a close up look at the work. We copied the style of art from Lauren Child. In the meantime we hope you enjoy the movie we've made using them. The children wrote and performed their own voiceovers.


Part two available now. Go to post of Friday 27th August.

Fitness Fun

In Room 16 at St Albans School for fitness, the children are in groups and do different activities. Each group wrote some goals for each activity. The activities are; monkey bars to increase upper body strength, running and skipping for making hearts beat faster and crazy catch for hand-eye coordination. Monkey bars are the most popular and running is not very popular.
