Week 1 -Term 4

Another exciting term has begun!
Room 5 has continued their learning about the zones of regulation. They used iPads and the app ‘Explain Everything’ to show their emotions in the different zones- check them out!

Today we couldn’t believe when we found out something had fallen out of the sky into the domain- Room 5 rushed out to find out what it was!

They discovered a letter from an alien called Alan! The team worked hard and was extra motivated to write letters to respond to Alan. They had lots of interesting questions about his planet!

The class learned all about the structure of how to write a letter and we can’t wait to send it off to Alan’s spaceship soon!

Brighton also shared about her exciting adventures with Mr Cheeky over the holidays. How lucky he was to go and get some ice cream!
