Sugary Drinks

Erin showed us different kinds of drinks. 

Some are everyday drinks and some are for special occasions. 

We had to work out which drink had the most sugar in it. To find out how much sugar is in one of these drinks come to our class to have a look.

The healthiest drinks for us to have everyday are water and milk. 

Water has no sugar in it. 

Milk has calcium which is good for our teeth and our bones.

Orange juice, flavoured milk and flavoured water are fine to have one or two times a week.

Special treat drinks are fizzy drinks, sports drinks and cordial because they have a lot of sugar in them.

Energy drinks are just for adults because they have caffeine in them.

Leaves everywhere!

A Poem 

Colours of the Seasons

Autumn is brown, orange and red.

Coloured leaves flying above my head.

Winter is grey, black and blue.

My fingers are cold, my toes are too.

Spring is green, yellow and pink.

Flowers everywhere, daffodils I think.

Summer is yellow green and blue.

Time for a swim, do you want to come too?

We love playing in the leaves. 

They are fun to throw up in the air.

A superhero at our school

A Cashtastic Super Hero came to our class. She had a superhero cape and a superhero mask.

She talked to us about being Cashtastic Super Heroes and spending our money wisely.

We were learning to tell the difference between dollars and cents. 

A 10 cent coin is bronze. 

The 20 cent coins and the 50 cent coins are silver. The gold coins are the $1 coin and the $2 coin.

Then we saw the dollar notes, $5, $10, $20, 

$50 and $100.

 

We helped find the lost $10 note.

We learnt about needs and wants.

A need is something we need to live like food, water, shelter and love.

A want is something we would like to have like lollies, a bike, an iPad or takeaways.

Stamps

Welcome back to Term 2. It is autumn.
Today we learned how to make stamps in Kidpix.
We made our own autumn leaf stamp to put on our tree.
