30/04/12-04/05/12 What's Been Going on in BD Class?

Wow! It has been such a busy week in BD Class. We have been doing amazing character writing, we have travelled around the world, we have finished some amazing artwork, been learning new strategies for maths...we have been working our socks off!

This week we celebrated two groups of people. Firstly there was the group of children who have achieved 50 nights reading... and another group who have achieved 25 nights reading.

Watch out next week to find out who has achieved 75 nights reading!

On Tuesday we travelled around the world. We visited a whole lot of different countries. We went to France, Egypt, South Africa, Holland, Brazil and China. We learned a whole lot of facts about each of these countries. Mr D took us to France. We learned about Paris, some French food and we made baguettes. It was funny because we couldn't understand Monsieur D because he was speaking French. Then he remembered to speak English again.

We all got a passport that we took around with us. It got stamped every time we visited a new country.

We flew from New Zealand to France...and found out how far away France is from New Zealand.

We have been working on planning our writing and using descriptive language in our character descriptions.
