I am a Marble Maker

LI - to read out loud my sentences

After reading the story ‘The Marble Maker’, Room 2 has made a beautiful marble using salad spinner and paint. We also talked about feelings and how we feel after making the piece of art. Did we feel proud? Do I love my marble? What does the colours make me feel?

Making Bread

LI - observe change from liquid to solid

We made bread. We added the ingredients following a special recipe (please refer to our Poem book). We used our skills we learned before to measure the ingredients. Mrs Christie and Miss Lee brought in their bread machine and we watched it go chug chug chug and mix our dough. When Mrs Christie cut the dough it felt like soft marshmallow. We told the story of The Little Red Hen as we watched the dough going in the oven. We had our bread with jam butter or marmite.

Yum!

Measuring cups and spoons

LI - to measure using baking tools

Room 2 are getting ready for our big baking day. We used measuring cups and spoons to measure how much we needed when Mrs Christie (our student teacher) asked us 1 cup or 1/2 cup and 1 table spoon and 1 teaspoon. We also sorted the bears and their porridge from smallest to biggest.

Phonics time!

LI - to recognise the first sound of a word

In Room 2 we are trying our best to sound out the sounds that we hear in a word. The word queen begins with a q, volcano begins with v, kangaroo begins with k and zoo begins with z! Look at the beautiful forming of my letters.
