Good morning Room 3, well done everyone on learning and writing our new green flower word, so much fantastic writing happening!

Todays challenge....


Room 3 Friendship flower


We are going to make a special friendship flower for Room 3 and when we get back to school we will put it up on the wall! Its very simple, all I want you to do is to make a petal, think about how big you want it to be or how small you want it to be, think about what shape you want the petal to be, if there are no flowers for you to look at, what about a leaf shape?
When you have thought about what kind of petal you want, then draw it on some paper and then I want you to write your name on it and decorate it with what ever you want, just make it the most beautiful petal you can for our special flower. When you have finished, you will then need to cut it out and show me! Make sure you keep it safe, when we get back to school we will take photos of all the children in Room 3 and make that the centre of our flower. Have fun!

Morena Room 3, hope you are all feeling good today, the weather is certainly a bit colder this morning!

Todays challenge....

Going on a Bug Hunt!

Go outside and have a think where you might find a bug, what kind of bug do you think you might find? a spider, a praying mantis? is it cold? where do you think bugs might like to be when it is cold. When you have found a bug I would like you to draw it and colour it in, if you can get an adult to take a photo and post it then that would be great as well. Things to think about... What shapes can you see? How many legs does it have? What colours are in it? How many eyes does it have? What else can you see? If you can, try and tell me all about your bug and what you found... I can't wait to see your bugs!

Have to share some of the beautiful work that Room 3 has been doing!
