Marmaduke duck and the marmalade jam.

 This week's book was Marmaduke duck and the marmalade jam. What a tongue twister it was!! We got out the toaster and taste tested some marmalade. Surprisingly lots of children liked it... But not as much as the boysenberry ... Not poisonberry as some people thought!

  We celebrated 100 days at school last Friday with looking at what 100 looks like...including using an app to make us look old which we all had a good laugh at. We have been back into all our learning which I can't wait to share on Tuesday at the 3 way conferences. We have been enjoying watching some of the Olympics on TV. Yesterday we had a French cafe for morning tea and tried baguette, croissants and camerbert cheese. We tried to take some photos with the TV to make it look like we are in Paris.

The Gruffalo

  Our special book this week was The Gruffalo. The vocabulary we focused on were Knobbly means having lumps on the surface. As in, the Gruffalo ‘has knobbly knees’. Feast means a large and special meal. As in, “come for a feast in my logpile house”. Bursting means to suddenly express feelings or emotion. Like, “alright” said the Gruffalo bursting with laughter. Rumble means to make a long, low, rolling sound. Like, “now my tummy’s beginning to rumble”. Today we made some Grufflo Crumble which is a feature in the book. It turned out delicious considering it had teeth, toenails, prickles and eyes in it We all enjoying them sitting in the sun.
