Coordinate Code Breaker

As one of their maths tasks this week, students practiced reading and writing coordinates by writing Coded Messages.

Here is the Code Breaker you need to use. Each letter of the alphabet has its own unique coordinate. For example, the letter T is on E9

Can you use the Code Breaker to read these students' coded messages? Don't forget to post your own coded messages for other students to try!

ANZAC Acrostic Poem

Australian and New Zealand stand together and fought for their countries 

Nervous and scared families at home, wondering what was happening

Zealous soldiers fighting to save their countries. 

Armies protecting their country

Crawling on their hands and knees they crawled through the murky, muddy grass

Fun Friday: Let the dancing begin!!

Well done to everyone who took part in our first Fun Friday Challenge! It was awesome seeing your dance moves and creative costumes. The teachers hope you had lots of fun dancing and teaching your family! Take a look at our Tik Tok dancers and stay tuned :-D

The Balloon Challenge

Hi Room 2,

Here is your challenge for today, one that will seem deceptively easy! If you haven't got balloons, try using anything that's light and soft like stuffed toys, rolled up socks, scrunched up newspapers and more. Stay safe, have fun and tune in soon to see your classmates' dance videos!

Lego Campervan

Here is another cool project made by a student in our class. Wonderful work, Tanisha! Can you identify all the details she added to the campervan interior?

I am so impressed by the creativity that everyone has been proudly showing off lately.

Remember that Mrs Tomokino is collecting pictures of your lockdown building projects for this week's newsletter. If you have photos of your creations, send them in to your teacher or directly to Mrs Tomokino's email.

I have also shared some Art activities you can do this week. Enjoy!

Classical Music Description

One of your writing task this week is to write something inspired by one of the following audio tracks.







Take a look at some of your classmates' work. Can you identify which audio track their writing comes from? Can you identify any examples of descriptive language: adjectives, verbs, adverbs, similes, personification, etc?

The calm soothing beginning tells me that my team is on the right track. We are very strong and intelligent. As the music continues and the tempo goes faster I can tell that we are confused. I feel that we had made a wrong decision on the way and were thinking about what to do. We go on with the war anyway and end up losing badly. The entire team was stuck and were trying to get out. Once we get out it will be a guaranteed win because we discussed the plan. So how do we get out?

The start of the music was loud and sounded like the army marching towards the tower. When the army lined up the King and Queen came through the gate towards the castle.

There were lots of trumpets, drums and violins and made it sound dramatic like something special was going to happen.

Then the music changed and sounded low, like there was someone trying to sneak into the castle. The secret agent for the bad guys followed the King and Queen. The king turned around and started to chase the secret agent the music sped up and when the King caught him he put him in the deep dark dungeon.

After the King caught the secret agent he felt dizzy and tired and fell in a daze, the music was slow and woke up in darkness.
