Rea did her own activity today. She made a model of the 1pm Press Conference LIVE. She thinks Mr Page looks like Dr. Bloomfield. What do you think?

It looks like you had a lot of fun making musical instruments today Yahara. Great work!

Awesome writing Yahara too : )

You added lots of detail to your recount Kosta. Bet Mum loved her homemade cards. You drew a really cool motorbike too! Cute dog as well : )

I did Maths in the morning and it was fun learning about opposites. The best part was making musical instruments. I hunted down some things around home and made a shaker. I also made some "grater music" using a grater and a metal spoon🤣. I figured you can make lots of beautiful sounds using metal spoons and forks and I put them together to make a "forkandspoonaphone".It was a busy noisy day!

Love, Sahel

We love your sense of fun Sahel : )

Love Sahel.

Happy Mother's Day

Sahel did some boat writing today. You have used some great words to make your writing interesting to read.

Awesome adding up your scores today Toby! Great work : )

Fun phones Rea! You looked cool for wacky Wednesday : )

Another great day of learning Yahara : )

Well done Kosta! Keep it up ; )

t was a fun dress-up day today. It was interesting to learn about so many different buildings with Mr Page. I thought that a Space Station would be an awesome idea to build. I have a few books about space shuttles that I love to read. I added some features to my Space Station too. If I had to live in a space station this is how it will look like.

I also wanted to share another picture of a building in Srilanka which I think is extraordinary. It is called "The Lotus Tower'" which looks like a beautiful flower lotus. It is regarded as one of the tallest buildings in South Asia. I think it's special because it has a rotating sky restaurant just like my rotating launch pad.

Love,

Sahel.

Cool Piggie William!!

Scarlett had another fun day of learning : )

In mornings I work with dad and today I did Iots of writing and math. It was fun drawing a piggie with Mo Willems. When Mum returns home from work, we put together a magnificent magic potion. I recorded a list of things that I got to chose to go in. I made up a little potion song. The best part I was so excited that I forgot the words when I was making the potion.Oops! Still it has been truly a terrific Tuesday! Hope you will like my video.

Love,

Sahel.

Lucky your family all fits on your broom Zoe! Hopefully you don't fall too far!!

I liked today's learning a lot. I did the Math lesson in the morning. Luckily for me I had the Room on the Broom book with me to read. I like the story because I like magic. I thought of making my own room on the broom. I chose our bubble at home and tried to fit all of us in my family there. I think my "Bubble in the Broom" is very special because it is safe and full of love. By Sahel

We think your broom is very special too Sahel! Awesome job! : )
