Bear in the scary night

Have you ever read 'This is the Bear in the Scary Night"? 

You should - it is a great book and the art work and writing from it are amazing. 

Bears with hats

Happy Sunday everyone!  

 Last week we had a Teddy Bear Picnic, but because we are in a SunSmart school our teddies needed hats. 

We used paper and tape to make them. 

We discussed what was needed to make a great hat that would be SunSmart. 

We had so much fun making them. 

Then in typical Ballarat spring weather we had a day where our temperature didn't get above 8 degrees and it hailed. 

So we borrowed our buddies room, took our picnic and bears and had a great time inside. 

We then wrote about our picnic and got some amazing writing. 

As you can see we were a bit obsessed with the terrible weather.
These photos show a range of abilities and each group has a different page to write on - the borders show which group has what.
Some groups do write on the back and they have finished their sentences on the flip side. 

Measuring bears

These are amazing! 

Our kids have their teddies at school this week. 

Our maths is around the teddies all week. 

We have hefted them - to see which ones are heavier and lighter. 

On Monday I coach other staff in our school so Bri takes our grade and this is a task they did together. 

We measured them with streamers

Glued the streamer on the page

We drew the bear to scale - checked the size of the head, arms and body against the streamer

We then checked how many unifix cubes it took to measure their height

I think we did an awesome job.
