My thoughts of the 1st week back!!!

My thoughts of the first week back were that this year was going to be great!!
We have already done so many fun things.

On the first day back we watched a movie called 'Racing Stripes' and ate popcorn!!
We were so lucky to do that.

We watched the movie because our class is focusing on resilience for the year and
the main character in the movie shows a lot of resilience.

We brainstormed all the words that described ‘Stripes’ the main character,
chose a word and got a piece of paper and sketched out our words.
Next we coloured the words in with pastel, when they were finished we cut them
out and put them on some black and white striped paper. After that we took some
photos. The finished art was displayed on the wall.

In the afternoon we carried on with the ‘Stripes’ theme and we got to choose what sort
of writing we wanted to do. We had a choice of writing a letter to Stripes,
Sandy, Tucker or the flies who are also other characters of the movie.
You could also choose out of a selection of poems and write one about on of
the characters in the movie.

We also made some very colorful names tags for our desks.

Then at the end of the week we made Chatter Boxes
(also known as fortune tellers) and next week we will be filling them up with zebra facts.
