Autumn Leaf Art

We went on an Autumn leaf hunt.  We drew observational drawings of leaves and dyed them yellow.  We did leaf rubbings using cool colours and dyed the backgrounds using hot colours.  We tried to stick the leaves on to make it look 3D.  It was very tricky.  Here is our art.

Making Poppy Art

We have been working very hard to make ANZAC poppies.  We scrunched up crepe paper for the black centre.  We drew petals and painted them red.  We can't wait to show you what they look like when we finish them next week.

Congratulations

 

Brooklyn got her certificate for taking her time to draw an excellent observational drawing of a leaf. 

Jasmine got hers for being a wonderful helper.  She always uses her initiative to find jobs that need to be done without being asked.

You both are amazing!  Well done girls, I am so proud of you. 

Autumn Leaf Hunt

Our class went on an Autumn leaf hunt.  We found lots of coloured leaves scattered on the school grounds.  We are going to use the leaves for print rubbings and observational drawings.

ANZAC Day

Today we remembered the people who went to war to keep our country safe.  Thank you to all the soldiers, nurses, pilots and engineers who went to protect their loved ones. 

 Children brought some flowers to lay at our school gate of rememberance.

Welcome to Term 2

Welcome back to school.  I am so pleased to see your smiling faces again.  I have planned a lot of fun things for us to do this term.  

Anzac Day Memorial

On Tuesday 24th April we are having a memorial service at school to remember the soldiers who died in Gallipoli.  Family members are welcome to join us.  The service begins at 2.30.

Science

For the first three weeks of school, we are learning about bugs.  What do you know about bugs?

It's the holidays!

I hope you all have a fantastic Easter.  Remember to have lots of fun and rest over the holidays.  If you want, you can post a comment over the holidays and let everyone know what exciting things you have been up to.  I will miss you all heaps!  I'm counting down the sleeps until I see you again.

Wheelchair Rugby

We were very fortuante today because we got to play wheelchair rubgy.  It was a lot of fun zooming around in the wheelchairs and crashing into one another.  We were a little nervous to begin, but in no time we were grinning from ear to ear.

Although we had lots of fun, some people who are in wheelchairs told us their stories.  We learnt the importance of wearing our seat belts in the car because if we don't, we may need a wheelchair too.  Tomorrow our class has a challenge to not use our legs for one and a half hours.  Wish us luck!

Gingerbread Men

Run, run, as fast as you can.  You can't catch me, I'm the gingerbread man.  

Today we made gingerbread men in class. We were very lucky that our gingerbread men did not run away.  We got to gobble them all up.
