Expert Gardeners

Today our Korean students popped out into our Room 19 gardens.

Thanks girls for the great job you did ... we heard lots of squeals of excitement especially when the friendly worm was uncovered.

Ghost - Usain Bolt

In the story Ghost we did lots of research on Usain Bolt and created an awesome collage of him on the running track in our sunflower groups.

Our sunflowers groups answer different questions each week and post our answers on Twitter each week.  We have loved reading the different responses from each school.

Here is the link to our twitter page to see what we have been posting about Ghost.

Wahooooooo Youthtown is back in town !!!!!

We love Youthtown and this term they continue to focus on developing sportmanship, working together as a team and having FUN ...

The weather has been really really unkind to us so we have had to spend most of our sessions inside the school hall but that hasn't stopped us from having some very competitive games of dodge ball.

Guess what we have tried .....

Thanks Coco for buying the sunflower seeds in the kernel.    They are extra tasty but there is definitely an art to breaking into the kernel and getting the seed out.

Were you one of the talented ones to open the seed in your mouth :)

Can you remember in the story where  Ghost would go to buy his sunflower seeds and how he started the habit of eating sunflower seeds ????

Ghost by Jason Reynolds

This term we are super excited to be part of Chapter Chat.  It is like an on-line book club for year 5 and 6 students.  We started listening to the book this week and today we thought it would be fun to eat some sunflower seeds like the character Castle Cranshaw (Ghost).

Most of us thought they were quite tasty but they didn't have any shells around them like in the story.  Maybe we will have to buy the sunflower seeds in the shells ....
