Jolly Hockey Sticks..

The Junior school split up into 8 hockey teams 

to play together in a Hockey Festival.

We had a marvellous time.

We really got our sticks moving.

Sarah was an excellent goalie.

Joe had older boys trying hard to get a goal in!

Good work Joe.

We look forward to using the donated hockey gear at lunchtimes.

Maisie and Fynn were two lucky children who won a T-shirt today.

A colourful day...

We came to school wearing loud shirts

 to support children with hearing impairment.

We donated a gold coin to support this worthy cause.

Delicious cupcakes made by our school council were on sale too.

It was agreed that these were scrumptious. 

Our hockey session was great fun and we practised lots of new skills.

Check out our colourful clothes. 

Nellie wore her sparkly shoes too.

During DISCOVERY time we painted with cotton buds.

Our spring trees looked lovely with the blossom.

Some of us made puppets to play with. 

Room 6 had a great smell going on.

Anna came again this week and helped us make pikelets.

Of course we carefully measured our ingredients.

We knew it was time to flip the pikelets  over when the bubbles popped.

The taste was superb.

Mmmm! Delicious.

As you can see we have a variety of marvellous

 learning opportunities going on.

More measurement, learning to skip, music and getting creative.

We rotated around lots of measuring stations. 

Working with a buddy helped us take risks and collaborate

 to experiment with objects to weigh.

It was a really warm and sunny day today.

The stilts came out along with the skipping ropes.

Mr.Mullan came out of his office to help us learn to skip.

Naomi came with her guitar. 

The instrument box was out and we made good music together.

Once again Sarah was creative.

These cute owls were fun to put together.

Check out these REACH certificate recipients.

Very proud children.

Yes! Another fun filled Friday.

Two lovely new girls..

We welcome two more girls to our class.

Saoirse and Olivia.

We know you will enjoy being in our class.

Measuring Pet Rocks.

Many measuring tools came out today.

Once we had made a pet rock

 we needed to weigh them on the scales and measure width and height.

These were recorded before we set about making a home for our pets,
We made boxes and put in fabric to snuggle our pets into.

Sarah enjoyed making masks too.

She really is creative.

Another fun and busy day.

The Story Teller...

Ze Bong the story teller came today. 

He gives the children and teachers opportunities to act with him.

What fun we all had. We laughed so much.

Miss Mutch was the Queen, Mr Lynskey was a troll,

 and Mrs Standen was a witch.

Maisie was a robber. She stole from two silly sisters!

It was a great chance to act.

We all listened well and responded the way an audience should.

Measurement and more...

Over the next five weeks we will work alongside Room 7

 to experience many measurement ideas.

Anna helped again this week.

 She worked with a group to make play dough. 

A great deal of careful measurement went on.

Our Green Hats came out when we used the dough in many creative ways.

Instructions needed to be carefully followed.

Once the paper cone had been used to measure the beans...

the measuring spoons came out to add popcorn to the cone!

Using the tongs was another challenge. 

SPOILER ALERT!! 

DAD DO NOT LOOK AT THIS!!

Sh! Sh! We are getting ready for Father's Day.

Eden and Holly received REACH certificates this week.

Congratulations to you both.
