Rain Art and Poems


Last term we did some beautiful work after a couple of very wet rainy days! 



Our Singing



Miss Cowan taught us a silly song that we are excellent at singing! Here are the lyrics so you can practice at home!

When Mr Clicketty Cane, plays a silly game, all the kids in the street, they like to do the same:

Wash your face in orange juice
Wash your face in orange juice

When Mr Clicketty Cane, plays a silly game, all the kids in the street, they like to do the same:

Wash your face in orange juice
Wash your face in orange juice
 clean your teeth with bubblegum
clean your teeth with bubblegum

When Mr Clicketty Cane, plays a silly game, all the kids in the street, they like to do the same:

Wash your face in orange juice
Wash your face in orange juice
clean your teeth with bubblegum
clean your teeth with bubblegum
 fix the fence with sticky tape
fix the fence with sticky tape

When Mr Clicketty Cane, plays a silly game, all the kids in the street, they like to do the same


Wash your face in orange juice
Wash your face in orange juice
 clean your teeth with bubblegum
clean your teeth with bubblegum

fix the fence with sticky tape
fix the fence with sticky tape
 brush your hair with a toothbrush
brush your hair with a toothbrush

When Mr Clicketty Cane, plays a silly game, all the kids in the street, they like to do the same:

Wash your face in orange juice
Wash your face in orange juice
clean your teeth with bubblegum

fix the fence with sticky tape

brush your hair with a toothbrush
brush your hair with a toothbrush
fry an egg on the slippery dip
fry an egg on the slippery dip

When Mr Clicketty Cane, plays a silly game, all the kids in the street, they like to do the same

Wash your face in orange juice

Wash your face in orange juice
 clean your teeth with bubblegum

Here is a clip of this song...


Mothers Day Poems

We wrote some lovely mothers day stories to give to our Mums for mothers day, here are some wee gems...

The thing I love about my Mum is that she coached my hockey team. I also love her because she always gets me big birthday presents. She always bakes very yum ginger slice for me and Olive and she cared about me when I fractured my arm.

Tim


I love my Mum because she is kind and friendly to our class and she is good at baking with Amber. My Mum is special because she gives me love and hugs every day.

Alice S



When I go to rugby practices my Mum comes to see me. We sometimes win but mostly we lose, but my Mum still cheers me on. When my Mum gives me a kiss when I go to bed she tucks me in. When I was a baby my Mum took a photo of me with my teddies and she hung it up in my room.

Luke


I love my Mum because she cares about me and makes me giggle a lot. I love her so much that I could eat her all up yum yum yum. The most special thing about my Mum is that she loves me.

Emerald


My Mum is pretty
She is clever
She reads to me
She gives me a kiss but I think it’s yuck
But I still love her anyway

The Colossal Squid


 Miss Cowan has been teaching us about the colossal squid! We watched this video clip, be warned it is pretty gross...


We wrote some great colossal squid adventures and Miss Cowan wrote us a poem...

There once lived a colossal squid named Benny
He wasn’t scary, in fact he was quite friendly
He lived down in the ocean deep
This was where he liked to sleep
He hunted with his light bulb eyes
He ate fish rather than pies
He had eight arms for which he used to hug his Mum
His funnel propelled him and was also his bum
His brain was donut shaped with a hole in the middle
When he had a bite of food it had to be little
This was because his throat went through his brain
Sometime he thought that was a bit of a pain
He used his black beak to tear up dinner
He thought his tentacles were a real winner
He used them to swipe and grab his food
He always swum around in the nude
He had to hide from hungry sperm whales
If they tried to eat him he’d attack their tales
He had some friends named Trudy and Jake
They were both a type of snake
His feeling were hurt when people thought wrongly
That he was a giant squid whom he disliked strongly
People would say he was a bad guy
For attacking ships, this was a lie
But life to Benny was pretty super
For he was a real trooper
He loved him Mum and Dad forever
And to him they were more precious than treasure
So when you meet a colossal squid as lovely as this
Don’t ignore him for you will miss
The chance to make a wonderful new friend
And he’ll stick with you till the end.
(Don’t worry about it too much he shouldn’t live longer than three years)


We made a big book with all our wonderful stories and pictures in them and would love you to come and read it in our room 

If you want to find out more about the squid or make your own this is the website to visit...

Apple Pies


We have been learning about apples, part of our project was learning about different ways we can work with apples. Apple pies seemed like a great thing to make. We had a blast and especially enjoyed the delicious results!



Awesome Skip Counting Video


Miss Cowan found this wonderful clip! Enjoy!

Our Autumn Art

On Friday we went and collected leaves and used them as a model to create our own autumnal works of art!
