Dav Pilkey Trip - Tra La Laaa!
On Friday afternoon a group of very excited children got to meet the author of Captain Underpants - Dav (Dave) Pilkey. He talked about how he struggled at school due to learning and behaviour problems, but also how despite difficulties such as ADHD and Dyslexia, he worked with his strengths at drawing and story telling to become a popular author. His books have started many children off on a reading journey with their quirky illustrations, memorable characters, crazy story lines and of course; the flip-o-rama.

Term 1, Week 5 Highlights
It has been another busy week in Room 18. Our writing frames are finished and showcase our great senses poems from Aquagym. Come and check them out.
On Wednesday we hosted the Year 3 assembly were we shared some of our published writing. Congratulations to Henry T, Tayla and Angel who received certificates and to Room 17 who were awarded the Heather Trophy for the tidiest cloakroom.
This week we been working on our Tagxedo art. Once we have brainstormed our words, we are teaching each other how to use this great programme. Here are some of the finished tagxedos now on display in the classroom. See if you can work out who the author/artist is from the words, colour and shapes chosen.
If you want to try some of these at home go to http://www.tagxedo.com/ You may need to download a programme called Silverlight - but just follow the instructions. I think these could be turned into great mouse mats or mugs for presents!
The News Reporters shared some special items with us on Friday. Finn brought in a remote controlled tarantula which caused quite a stir.
On Friday, Room 18 made musical instruments out of recycled 'junk'. What an amazing range of sounds you could make. Aoife, Charlotte, Jesse Kacey and Tayla formed a band and gave an impromptu performance. Click on the image to hear the music and keep an eye out for their debut album!
