Book Character Day

Yesterday was Book Character dress up day for Hooked on Books Week! We had a school full of Harry Potter's, Hermione Granger's, princesses, super heroes and many more!

We have done a big focus around reading this week and had some great books! We started the week with Where's Walrus which you will find just below in it's own post, then we moved onto A Knit and a Knot, Ingenious Jean and Betsy Came to Babysit.

Check out our class' individual blogs to see their Hooked on Books slides!

Hooked on Books Week

Hooked on Books Week is here and we've kicked off with Where's Walrus, a book with absolutely no words! We 'read' the book and then created the writing based on all the information we could glean from the amazing illustrations!

Check it out!

Happy Diwali!

This week we have celebrated Diwali in TM2.

We watched this video to help us understand the story of Diwali properly and then we created our own class book together. We found out that Diwali is the festival of light and celebrates when good won against evil and Ram and Sita were reunited, in the story of Diwali. People who celebrate Diwali take time to spend with their family and friends and light lots of candles, lamps and sometimes even fireworks.

We also looked up mehendi patterns online and designed our own. Miss W bought some henna and we were able to get our patterns recreated on our own hands! It was so cool.




We had to edit some of our designs when we got to actually using the henna though, because some of our designs were too big to fit on our little hands. We are going to print our photos of our henna and put them on the wall with our designs too!

Come and have a look at all the designs that we have created on the wall in class!

Happy Diwali!
