ANZAC Remembrance.

Each year at Ashley School we have an ANZAC ceremony. The school community is invited to join us when we lay flowers at the WAR MEMORIAL near our school.
Today we made sand saucers to place on the memorial steps.
Some of our Mums created other floral tributes.



Lest we forget.

Snakes Alive!

We have continued experimenting with warm colours. This time we dabbed the paint on our spiral snakes with our fingers. We did get in a mess... but it sure was fun. Now look at how they turned out.
The background leaves were brush painted.
We are learning that quality work takes time and we enjoyed the whole process.

It was lovely to see Hannah who will be joining our class soon. Thank you Keira for making her feel welcome.

We share, we care, we are helpful and friendly.

We look forward to seeing you again soon.

De Bono's Thinking Hats.

Over the last few weeks we have been learning about, and using the six thinking hats.
Today we looked at the Blue Hat.
We made plans of How to Catch a Frog!
We drew our own plans to take home and share with our family. Some of us even tried to build a frog catcher with the Duplo!
