Conservation Week

Room 1 and 4 went on a walk through the village collecting rubbish.   We couldn't believe how much rubbish was on the side of the road.  Everyone, listen up. 

Put your rubbish in the bin!

When we put our rubbish in the bin, the village looks more beautiful, we are not polluting our water ways, and the animals will not eat it and die.

 We know it is important to water our plants every day.

Room 1 Garden

Sophie, Molly and Jaxson had fun putting new plants in our class garden.  They planted cauliflower, brocolli and lots of new flowers.  Our garden is going to look beautiful when it starts growing.  We need to make sure we water it all the time so the plants live.  Thank you very much for all your help Molly.  

Maths Trail

During Maths Week we went on a hunt for shapes and numbers around our school.  We were given a piece of paper with photos on it.  At first we thought it was easy, but there were a few hard photos to find.  Even Mrs Simpson didn't recognise one of the photos.

Buddy Class Fun

Wow!  What fun we had listening to music and finger painting to the beat.  When the music was fast we painted quickly.  When the music was slow, we painted slowly.  When the music made interesting sounds, our fingers jumped and bumped and wriggled around.  It was a crazy mess, but lots of fun!

Show: The Big Pond

There were 4 tadpoles swimming in the pond.  Some of them got eaten by a turtle, an eel, and a big fish.  But 1 tadpole lived and turned into a frog.  Ribbet!  There were lots of animals and flowers at the pond.  But then ... a cod carp was put into the pond.  People also through lots of rubbish in the pond.  Cows pooed in the pond.  Yuck!  All the pond animals were very FURIOUS at the people and they left the pond.  Oh no!  We helped pick up the rubbish.  We caught the mean fish, a clock and a boot that smelled like stinky socks.  We pulled the plug out of the pond to empty the muddy water.  When it rained there was lovely fresh water again and the pond animals came back to again and lived happily ever after.

It is important for everyone to remember 

DO NOT throw rubbish in water so it keeps it nice and clean for the animals to live!

 

Afterwards we sang a frog song we know,
called 5 Little Speckled Frogs.

Big Buddies

Thank you big buddies for teaching us how to use PuppetPals.

Tangram Maths

Today we were given the challenge of creating a picture with a tangram.  It was really hard, but we had lots of fun.  Here are some of our pictures we made.

Eric Carle - From Head to Toe

We read the story 'From Head to Toe' by Eric Carle. 

We can stand on one foot.  Can you? 

What can you do?

Big Sad Wolf Show

Today Playhouse Theatre came to school and shared with us The Big Sad Wolf.  They were incredible.   Everyone couldn't stop laughing.  What a wonderful show.

School Disco

Science Experiments - Voclanos

We had to think like scientists and predict what we thought would happen.  Then we drew what we observed (watched) and talked about our findings.  We had fun learning the difference between magma and lava, especially when the balloon popped all over Mrs Christiansen. Here are our findings.

Letter Jj

This weeks letter is Jj. These are all the words we know that start with the letter Jj.

Earth Layers

Today we learnt the earth has lots of layers like a sandwich.   On the surface is grass, then there is dirt.  Over time the dirt turns into rock.  The middle of the Earth is made from magma.  Magma is melted rock.

Rescue Helicopter

What an amazing surprise!  The Westpac Rescue Helicopter landed on our school field.  Last year we supported them by fundraising and today gave it to the helicopter team.  Thank you for always being there when we need you Westpac rescue Helicopter. 

Mud Pies

On Tuesday afternoon we went outside and made mudpies.  It was a lot of fun, but we thought it was gross getting our hands all mucky.  Then, we wrote about making mud pies.

Splash!  The water went everywhere.  We were going to put teacher’s fingers in it but …

we couldn’t find any.  We put in a worm.  Ew!  I don’t like worms.  By Milla.

Volcano Writing

The river went racing down like hot bubbling lava rivers.  The lava was exploding like a jet in the sky.  Boom!  Zoom!  Pop! By Lennox.

All of the rocks came tumbling down the voclano.  The lava came down the volcano.

It went kaboom.  It was messy because it exploded.  Boom!  It was exploding on the mountains.  I saw a rock flying in the sky.  When I saw inside the voclano,

it was amazing.  I was shocked.  By Jaxson.

It went kaboom like a rocket.  The lava went racing down the volcano.  It was cool.
