Interaction

Our focus for Terms 3 and 4 is INTERACTION (our first goal is to pronounce it correctly).

One form of INTERACTION is the reaction or response between a book and its reader...so we are looking at how pop-up books excite their readers.  We've looked at a few pop-up books already and we have discovered that some have lift-up parts, moving parts, stand up parts, twisting parts and lots more!  We got very excited!

We're going to make a pop-up book eventually, so we are learning about the different types of folds.  Today we learnt how to do a 'mouth fold'.  Some of it was tricky but we persevered (which means 'keep trying even when it is hard').  Didn't we do well?

MUFTI DAY next Friday 9 August.  We will be INTERACTING with Room 5 by sharing a colour for mufti day.  Our colour is BLUE...what blue clothes might you wear?  Bring a gold coin donation.
