Two on Tuesday...

On Tuesday we say hello to Hunter and Ryia.

What a busy class we are becoming.

We know that you will love being part of our cool school.

Queen's Birthday

Today we celebrated the Queen's birthday with sandwiches and freshly squeezed lemonade! They tasted delicious !

We used Google to find where the Queen lives on a map and pictures of what the Queen and her corgies look like. We were really interested in looking at maps. 

Please come into our classroom and check out our fantastic drawings of pigs.  We were so good at listening to instructions and took our time to make sure we did a good job!

Happy Birthday Jorja-Rose.

Today we welcomed Jorja-Rose to our class.

We hope you enjoy your new class and friends.

Cross Country

Today we had our school cross country at the Marshall-Lee's property.  

We all tried our very best to run as fast as we could around the paddock. We are so proud of you. 

 

Well done to Sophie King  who came 1st 

and Maddie Coster who came 3rd in the Year 1 girls group.  

Also well done Riley Blanken who came 3rd in the Year 1 boys group.

A huge thank you to all the parents who helped us walk safely to the event and for encouraging us around the course.  

Terrific Tuesday

Today we had an amazing visitor. 

Adrian from READING ROCKS came to talk to us.

His important message was about reading and how it helps in everything we do.

He is a fantastic juggler too.

Check out Luke on the uni cycle!

Thanks to Mrs. Tipping for organising this for us.

This afternoon we looked at another thinking hat. 

The yellow hat.

We talked about the good points.

Friday Discovery

Today we were so excited to move back into our classroom!  We loved racing up and down our new ramp and paths!  

During Discovery Time we have been practicing lots of skills including following instructions, how to share,  take turns  and help each other to pack up to keep our classroom tidy and safe!  We are getting really good at working with our  class mates using kind words and offering to help each other. 

Today we explored the theme of Pigs.  We found out that we already know lots of white hat facts about Pigs . Check out some of the board games and  puppets that some of the children made!

 We are really trying hard to take our time to make sure we are producing some quality work!

We also had fun observing this salt volcano experiment.  We mixed water, oil and food colouring together in a glass jar. We found that the oil was lighter than water so it sat as a separate layer on the top.   When we sprinkled salt on the top we watched bubbles fall to the bottom and bounce back up again.  

Over the next week we will think about this question : 

What happens when we add salt to the oil and water? Why?

Rockin' Robin...

Thursday is music with Mrs. Treacy.

The instruments came out again and we are so good at naming them now.

We played and boogied to Rockin' Robin.

Tweet! Tweet!

We can really groove along to the tune!
