Boxes needed

Next week we are having making our installation art.

Children need to bring in a box (shoe box size is great) and things that are special to them that they can decorate (and glue) into their boxes that are unique to them.
They can also bring in materials and paints that they would like to decorate their boxes with.

You can start bringing them in now as we will be using them from Monday.

Thanks.

Examples from Room 19:

Look who came to visit!

Today Fletcher bought in his rescued kitten Ogel! He was so tiny and 5 weeks old but only as big as a 3 week old. 

Thanks Fletcher! 

Buddy Class Pirates

Today Room 2 and 18 turned into Pirates! We had a lot of fun making pirate hats! Then we went on a pirate mission!! 

Patterns to 5

Yesterday the Squares and Miss Macartney took Jump Jam out to the playground! We had lots of fun subtracting on the slide!!!

We are learning about adding and subtracting to and from 5 with materials and soon we will be able to do it in our heads!

Azra our Jump Jam star!

Well done to Azra who is our star of the week!

Quinn

Quinn brought in a praying mantis to show us today. He found it at his Dad's work. It tried to escape but Mr Collings was too scared to get it back in its container so Miss Macartney had too!
Thanks Quinn!

Green Day!

We have had a great Green Day! We looked great in our outfits! Especially Miss Korver!! And our food was very yummy! 

Swimming

Unfortunately due to timetabling conflicts there will be no swimming until Week 11. Children are still able to bring their swimming togs on Thursdays and be supervised in the pool during lunchtime.

Swimming

Today in swimming Kayla, Senithi, Jacob, Kristy and Tiya did lots! They were polar bears floating on ice cubes, had speedboat races, took their feet off the bottom and went under a rainbow! But their favourite thing to so was ride the turtle. 

Green Day

Just a reminder Green Day tomorrow. Dress in green mufti and bring a gold coin donation!
