Monday News

Today we were very busy in the classroom. First we sat in an oval shape on the mat and Mrs N showed us what had happened to our seeds over the weekend. Lots of the peas and beans had sprouted. We could easily see the roots, stem and seed. The seed had splits on it. There were 2 different types of roots - a long one in the middle and some spidery ones on the side.

We could see all the parts of our little plants.



Then we each got a foam cup and wrote our name on the back. We went outside to the sandpit and filled the cup with sand. Then very carefully we drew a face on the front of the cup with waterproof texta. We didn't have to draw the hair because we planted lots of wheat seeds inside the cup and we hope that when the wheat grows it will look like green hair!

Abby took a lot of care drawing her face.

Will drew a funny face with a sticky out tongue.

After recess we looked at some beautiful paintings of gardens painted by a famous artist called

Monet. He isn't alive anymore but his paintings are famous.  He painted special pictures of gardens and flowers. Then some of us got to try to paint a garden picture like Monet. He didn't leave white bits in his paintings. He painted lots of flowers and grass and sky.

Maddie is painting a beautiful Monet garden picture.

Mia's painting is going to be great when she is finished it.

Bo took a lot of time painting his beautiful garden.
