Senior buddies came to visit Room 13

First, we showed our buddies what we do during Daily 5. We showed them Word Work using chalk, work on writing, literacy games, and buddy reading.

After that, we did exciting Maths! We blindfolded our buddies and led them around the school by giving directions like quarter turn, left, right, backwards, forwards and stop. 

We had a spectacular time together! 

Drama

Art

In room 13, we have been working on tree art. We have had to practice very hard at drawing the branches. Miss Joyce divided our paper into four quarters and then showed us how to plan using a pencil and small dots for where we want the branches to be. Once we had practised in newsprint, we were ready to draw the tree on our good paper. From there, we blended green and yellow paint for the grass, and filled in the lines of the tree with vivid. We then chose whether we wanted to show Autumn or Spring in our artwork. Autumn leaves are shown using puzzle pieces painted in autumn colours, and the cherry blossom is made using pink and white dots of paint.
