We have finished our work on learning about all the long vowel sounds. Over the past few weeks we have learnt about these sounds:
o_e, oa, ow

Mr D has been really impressed with the way we are using these sounds in our writing now. Today we upgraded our GoNoodle character. Bart Reynolds levelled up and we now have a new character called McPufferson.
Today we had our photoshoot for our class photos. You can check it out here:

It has been great to get back to a normal week in BD Class. We have been doing some amazing reading and writing. Mr D is really happy how we are being more careful with our vowel sounds when we are having a go at spelling words. This week we are learning about all of the ways that make the "long-i" sound.
Our GoNoodle character got maxed out on Monday, which was really exciting. Rad Chad is as big as he can get now.
Our new character is:
We started doing our science experiments today. We were looking at mixtures and how we can separate them. You can see what we did here.

13/05/15 This Week in BD Class
We have had a really busy week so far in BD Class. On Monday we had the Discovery School Cross-Country. Luckily the weather stayed okay for the Year 1 races. A huge congratulations to Daniel and Paige who were first out of all the Year 1s in the boys' and girls' races. What a great effort! Here are the highlights of the run.
On Tuesday, we all went to see the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra perform "The Happiness Box." It was great to see the instruments and hear them up close. It was a really cool story too. Check out parts of it here:

28/04/15 Today in BD Class
We have had a great day today. Every has been working hard and making good choices, even though the weather was a bit yucky.
Today we did some learning about the orchestra. We watched and listened to Benjamin Britten's Young Person's Guide to the Orchestra. We learnt about the different parts and instruments in the orchestra. You can listen to it here:
We learnt that there are 4 teams in the orchestra. They are:
- Strings: You pluck or use a bow
- Woodwind: You blow
- Brass: You do a buzzy blow
- Percussion: You hit it
After that we played a game where you can add instruments to your orchestra. Click on the link below to take you to the game.
