100 days at school- 6.7.16

Today was our 100th day at school.

We are 100 days brighter!

We celebrated together by doing some fun craft and having a shared lunch.

Miss McCoy's Year 2-4 Jump Jam team did their dance for us while we ate our lunch. It was good entertainment.

Measurement for Maths

This term for our Strand Maths we are doing Measurement. Today we used a spoon to measure out rice into different types of containers. It was messy but we had a lot of fun!

Royal Dress up Day 9.6.17

The Junior Syndicate had a Royal Week following Queen's Birthday Weekend. We got to dress up on Friday. 

We had many princesses, queens, knights, dragons and a king in our royal court for the day.

The imaginations went wild and the children had a wonderful day.

Science Alive 11.5.17

For Inquiry we are learning about Water. Science Alive came to visit to teach us all about water.

We learnt about how water is absorbed and repelled.

One of these shirts repels the water and the other absorbs it.

The water is absorbed into the flower and the petals open up.

We learnt that some objects sink and others float. It was a lot of fun experimenting with the objects.

We learnt about how water can be turned to a solid and into a gas.

The water in the themos is hot and it created steam. The ice in our hands was a solid and it began to melt in our hands making a liquid.

We learnt about clean and dirty water and how it can be filtered.

We tried to filter the water.

We tasted the difference between salt water and fresh water. The salt water was not very nice.

We had a great day learning about water!

Sign language week

As part of Sign Language week we learnt some Sign Language. 

We learnt some Sign Language for different animals and some sign language relating to our Story Telling.

We learnt how to say The tiger goes over the bridge.

We had to guess what was being said.

Learning Sign Language was fun.

Monster Maths

This week our Big Book for Reading is called Monster's Lunch. We have been having a week of monster fun. For Maths today we rolled two dice together then added them up and coloured in the answer. We worked with a buddy. It was a lot of fun.
