Visiting Harold
Last week the Life Education Van visited us at Glen Taylor School. We learnt about how to stay healthy.
We solved a puzzle about our basic needs.
We also learnt what we should eat to have a balanced diet.
Has Harold and the Life Education van visited your school? What did you learn about during your visit?
Feeding the Birds
In Team Koru we made bird feeders. We made them using toliet paper rolls, peanut butter and bird seeds. We put our bird feeders down in the bush!
Animating our Poems
Today in Team Koru we used explain everything to animate one of our poems. First we had to draw our pictures to use in the animation. We then had to practise moving our pictures to match the poem. It was a bit tricky to move our pictures and read our poems at the same time. We didn’t give up though and tried again when we mucked up!
Here is Avee’s animation of Jellybean Tree.
Here is Lachlan’s animation of Be Careful Fish.
Do you read poems in your classroom? What is your favourite poem?
Using Explain Everything to illustrate our writing
Today in our cybersmart lesson we used Explain Everything to illustrate our writing. First we had to take photo of our writing, then we added some clip art or images to illustrate our writing. The last part of the activity was recording ourselves reading our writing.
We had fun adding images to our writing and recording ourselves reading our writing.
Here is Lachlin’s recording
Wheels Day
In Team Koru today we had a Wheels Day to celebrate Road Safety Week.
We drew out our roads with chalk.
We created traffic lights, houses, signs and pedestrian crossings to put around our road.
We must look both ways before walking across the road.
Finally we got to go on our wheels!
Did you celebrate road safety week in your class?
River Monsters
In Room 9s nest class this week we read “Monsters are Baloney” by Jill Eggleton. We were inspired to imagine our own Ratan River Monsters. We wrote a description about them and then illustrated our writing. Here is Sasha’s amazing work!

ANZAC Learnings
In Team Koru we did lots of learning to celebrate ANZAC day.
We read books about ANZAC day.
We made ANZAC Biscuits.
And we created art inspired by ANZAC day!
How did you celebrate ANZAC day in your class?
Teddy Bear Towers
In Team Koru we built a Tower for Teddy Bears. We had to build a tower to try and put the most teddy bears on. We used 3 100s blocks, and 4 tens blocks. We got 30 teddys bears to fit on our tower.
Can you beat our score of 30?
Explain Everything Dinosuars
We had so much fun making ourselves into Dinosaurs today in our Cybersmart lesson with Mr Goodwin.
First we drew our dinosaurs.
Next we cut out our own heads.
Then we grouped them.
After that we picked a background.
Finally we recorded our animations.
