Fun with the Parachute

Today for P.E we got the parachute out.
We made it go up and down by working as a team.
We took turns to do a magic trick by disappearing under the parachute.
We made the popcorn in the pan go sizzle, sizzle and then POP!

The beanbags almost went up into the trees.
Team 8 and Team 10 had to work together.
P.E was so much fun today.

Swimming today

Oh No... The Swimming Pool is Closed!

Tuesday 21st Feb 

Team 8 and Team 10 were so sad to hear that Mr Leslie had to close the swimming pool. 

 All the hot, wet weather has cause some green algae to grow in it.  

Mrs Newman and Mrs Grant got together to make a plan, because we all looked so sad.  

Look what they surprised us with after lunch today.

Yipee, it was such fun!!

Week 3

What a busy week we had last week.
Daisy joined the Room 10 team.
Tommie, Stefanie and Jordan came for visits.
So we made lots of new friends.
We worked together to complete tasks like puzzles, maths problems and news stories.
We made Valentines cards for people we love.
We drew Greedy Cat artworks so come into Room 10 to see them up close.
I wonder what exciting learning we will do in Week 4?

Happy Chinese New Year

Guònián hǎo! Happy New Year.

On Thursday a parent gave Mrs Turner a Lion costume to bring to school.

We talked about the Chinese New Year and how people celebrate it.

We learnt that people give gifts of money in red envelopes. The red envelope is for good luck.
We learnt that lanterns are lit and displayed.
We learnt that people do a Lion Dance and the lion follows a gold ball. This is to scare away the evil spirits and bad luck for the year.
Then we had a look at a Lion Dance and listened to the music.

We took turns to try on the Lion costume and do our own Lion Dance to the music.
It was lots of fun.

Then we made Lanterns in the classroom. 

We were very clever as it was a bit tricky to cut up to nearly the top of the lantern and then fold it over and staple on the handles. 

But we were patient and we succeeded.
