Reading Dinosaur Books

Cruze was lucky enough to have a dinosaur counting book at home to read while he was learning about dinosaurs.  Here he is enjoying reading it with his big brother.

Cruze's Dinosaur Fun

This week for home learning we had a Dinosaur theme.  I was pleased you managed to find some sun to be able to do the dinosaur shadow activity, Cruze.  Did you find that you had to do the activity quickly before the sun had moved?  That can be a bit tricky when the sun has moved before you have completed the drawing!  You have drawn a lovely dinosaur family as well.  Great work Cruze

Cruze Makes Some Puppets

Our home learning this week was based around the fairy story of Goldilocks and the Three Bears.  I made some suggestions on how to make the puppet characters and Cruze and his Mum got busy and made some wonderful puppets.  I really like the way Cruze gave his characters some accessories, adding some details to his bears - a tie, a bow and a bib.  You can easily see who the characters are.  Cruze also added details to his set to make it more realistic by adding a picture on the wall and a plant. Thanks to Cruze's Mum for helping Cruze make an amazing set and the puppets to help him retell the story.  Have you tried to add a different ending to the story?

Cruze Continues His Home Learning

Cruze is continuing to learn at home.  He has been doing some maths, learning his numbers and subitising dot patterns to 20, learning his words, drawing pictures about the stories he has read, colouring and continuing to make tube crafts.  It is interesting to see what Cruze has been making out of cardboard tubes.  Keep up the fantastic learning, Cruze.  I look forward to seeing more of your learning in the coming week and sharing it on the blog.

Making ANZAC Poppies

On our home learning site, I suggested for ANZAC Day the children might like to make an ANZAC poppy.  Being in lockdown has meant that we can't gather together with our families or go to Dawn parades or Civic ceremonies but many children were making poppies and putting the poppies in a window or on their fence.  Cruze's Mum sent me photos of Cruze making a poppy and decorating it.  What a good idea to decorate it with drawings Cruze!

More of Cruze's Home Learning

Cruze has been making the most of the lockdown to continue his learning at home.  Cruze has been reading, drawing, making things, exploring in his back yard, cooking and doing a lot of learning.  Thanks to Cruze's Mum for all the lovely pictures.

Cruze Went Walking

 With all the lovely fine weather, Cruze and his family were able to walk down to the beach.  It looked like you enjoyed your time out today Cruze if you wanted to come back home and draw a picture to remind you of the fun you had.  You are lucky to have the beach close by.
