We sing the Days of the Week Song most days.

These are some of the containers we made out of one piece of paper.

Sarah's container held 4 and 1/4 cups of beans. That was the container that held the most. Some of us thought that the tallest container would hold the most but that did not happen. We are enjoying discovering which containers hold the most.

As part of our Inquiry we have learned a lot about the things we need to be healthy such as good food, sleep and exercise. We have also been learning about the importance of our families and friends.

On Thursday afternoon an exciting thing happened in our classroom. Our last butterfly hatched! Some of the children were lucky enough to still be around to see it happen. We watched it come out of its chrysalis and slowly unfurl its wings. On Friday we all had a chance to let it walk across our hands. "It tickles," said Amelia.

We all had fun at Surrey Park on Monday. Here are some of the children running very fast in the running races.

We love to read. We can read anywhere, even lying on the ground!

We have all been working hard on our reading rotations.
