In the classroom

 Do you have a Smartboard?  We read our blog on ours.  We also do Starfall almost everyday.  The Special Helper is in charge. 

The Watermelon Farm

Jesse:  I have a big watermelon.  I just picked it. This is my family's watermelon farm.  We also grow pumpkins and mangos.  Is it almost Hallowe'en there?  Are you going to dress up?  Are you going to trick and treat?

They have bees to pollinate the flowers.  They also get honey when the bee man comes.

We were looking at the little pumpkin plants.   

There are heaps of watermelons in this field.

We are eating watermelon and it was very yummy!

Look at the pumpkin flower.

There is watermelon in the truck. A big truck here is called a Road Train!


Emily:  We grow passion fruit and we also grow mangos at our house.

Enjoying an Indian Summer day.

We have just moved from summer to fall and we are lucky to still be enjoying some hot days.  We try to get outside as much as possible and love to play on the playground.  

A Picnic at the Springs

On Tuesday we took a bus ride down to the springs for class picnic!  We couldn't go in the water, but we had a great time anyway!  We started with some games: hiding behind the trees.. and frozen tag.. and then we had music!

Hickory, Dickory Doc.. the mouse ran up the clock.. the clock struck one, the mouse fell down.. 'and we threw him out the window!  A second story window!"  ... Jack and Jill, went up the hill, to fetch a pail of water.. Jack fell down and broke her crown 'and threw him out the window.. the window.. the second story window!'

Amelia's dad came and sang some crazy songs! 

The principal was there, and we even had a visit from the Group School principal! 

Here we are at the entrance to the park!

Wild flowers! 

What a great day we had! 

We Love Books!

We are standing in the middle of town, next to the Banyan tree.

We are lined up next to the bus waiting to go to the Banyan tree in the park.  It is so huge and it's fat.  It has lots of roots hanging down.  We can swing on them.

It was fun when I was sitting on the bench reading Green Eggs and Ham. 

I was reading the Cat in the Hat.

I and Emily was reading Clifford.

I was reading a book near the Banyan tree.  I was sitting on the great rock and I was reading some books.  I was reading a dinosaur book and I have some more dinosaur books. 

I was next to the farm.
