HAPPY HOLIDAYS

Wishing everyone a safe and happy holiday.  See you on Monday 2nd May!

NAME ON THE FLAME

Every term, teachers nominate children who have been working extra hard and demonstrating our character values.  These children get their name displayed on the school flame.  At the end of the term, one lucky person from each team gets randomly chosen for a prize.  Mrs McCulley got to choose a name and she randomly chose Vansh!  We were all very pleased for him!

BIRTHDAY TIME FOR VANSH

Vansh is turning nine tomorrow so today we had a special birthday celebration.   We dressed up in party hats, sung 'Happy Birthday' and ate delicious chocolate cake.  What a great way to end the term!

KAOS IN ROOM 11!

Today Olivia bought her pet bunny, Kaos to meet the children.  Kaos is two years old and loves carrots.  He was extremely cute and friendly.

BRADY'S PRESENTATION

Brady has been working really hard over the last few weeks with Teacher Aide, Wendy.  They have made a wonderful PowerPoint presentation about Brady's recent trip to camp. 

POPPIES

As it will soon be ANZAC Day, every day this week, Poppies will be sold at school.  The children can purchase a Poppy for a gold coin donation ($1 or $2).

LADYBUG INQUIRY

At school, the children have noticed that there are many ladybugs on the school grounds.  The children have been very interested in the ladybugs and have been asking lots of great questions.  For science, we decided to learn more about ladybugs.  We have been studying their body parts as well as their life cycle.  On Thursday we completed 'Ladybug Stations'.  The children chose different activities that they were interested in.

Samara and Meg used the computers to 'Google' and research answers to our questions about ladybugs.

Thomas and Brady used the magnifying glasses and observed real ladybugs.

Moses watched Youtube videos to learn more fun facts about ladybugs.

Sophie and many other children, chose to make their own ladybug life cycle wheel.

We have been learning lots of new things, in lots of fun ways!

CULTURAL SWAP - Dance

Each Wednesday afternoon, we have 'Cultural Swap'.  This is when we move around to the other teachers and learn lots of new things.  This year we will be doing dance with Ms Harper, Ukulele with Mrs King and drama with Mrs Wood.  Today we were learning poi with Ms Harper.

FOOTBALL FUN

This week, we have been having daily sessions with Football South.  We have been learning lots of ball skills as well as playing lots of fun games.

DISCO TIME

Lots of Room 11 children attended the school disco on Friday.  There were lots of great moves on the dance floor!
