Dragons Galore and so much more!

Today we read a story called Cinder the Bubble Blowing Dragon by Jessica Anderson. Cinder is a popular dragon with one small problem – instead of fire, Cinder breathes bubbles! While the king searches for a fire-breathing dragon for his palace, Cinder is sidelined. But can the bubble-blowing dragon save the day - Yes he can! This was a great starter for our dragon writing week.

Today we also started a new way to practice adding bigger

numbers for our hot spot - or quick 20 basic facts quiz.

This afternoon Adventure Syndicate had a syndicate assembly. It is always fun to get together with the other classes and sing together and share our learning.

Today I sent home a notice. If you haven't had a chance to read it here it is!

ROOM VH SEEKS YOUR HELP!

SEEKING…. YUMMY RECIPES

This week Room VH are looking at recipes as part of our writing unit on instructions. Please could you send in or email your child’s or family’s favourite recipe (biscuit, cake, main meal, dessert etc).

Our focus is on looking at how recipes need to have clear instructions, how they are set out, how important correct measurements are etc.

If you are able to either write it out, encourage your child to write it out or email it to us at vh@discovery.school.nz that would be fantastic.

It would be especially great if every child was able to bring in a recipe.

ALSO SEEKING…. PAINT

As part of our inquiry unit the children have decided to take action by painting our Adventure playground. If you have old colourful paint left over from decorating, eg. red, yellow, green, purple, blue etc, could we please use to repaint and bring to life our very dull playground.

We are planning on painting in Week 9 starting 7 December. If you are able to help with paint I would love to hear from you.

Thanks for your help
