Frosty morning.

We were excited seeing the frost at school.

Ella was the star of gym.

Silent magic 'e.'

Today at writing time some of us used the word mak in our story.
We found out that it is spelt 'make.'
The magic e on the end changes the sound.
Not Annie Apple but Mr. A.

A Sun, Earth and Moon song to sing to 'The Farmer in the Dell'.

Sun, Earth and Moon

The earth turns around.

The earth turns around.

Once a day, every day,

The earth turns around.

The moon goes round the earth,

The moon goes round the earth.

Once a month, every month,

The moon goes round the earth.

The earth goes round the sun.

The earth goes round the sun.

Once a year, every year,

The earth goes round the sun.

Kyla is clever at making things. She made this bed for her toy.

Viraj shared this 'Block Head' toy. He got it from a Z garage.

Ella's dad got this gold coin from Ireland. It was different to our gold coins.

At M.O.O.T. time Kyla, Tessa and Sophie were creative costume makers.

Some statements about the sun.

There it is!

 Guess what? It was such a clear morning on Wednesday that we all saw 'te marama.'

The moon was a crescent shape!

 And on Friday morning 'te marama' can be seen again.
Can we see more or less of te marama each day?
Why do we see some of the moon and not all of it?

We are observing (looking at) the moon in May.

Sometimes at night it has been too cloudy to see the moon.
Some of us have seen it in the morning.
Mrs. Dacre took these photos of the moon on her phone.

 The moon on Saturday morning.

 The moon on Sunday morning.

The moon this morning at school.

We wonder about the sun...

We are gathering data about the moon.

We are looking at the moon each night and drawing what we see.

We wonder what we will find out about the moon in this month of May.

We wonder how day and night are made?

Gymnastic Tuesdays

On Tuesday we had our first gym session in the hall.

We took off our shoes and were ready to go.

We learnt how to do a 'motorbike' landing.

We were great trying out all the different equipment.

 Congratulations Alex- the gymnast of the day.
