Cute and Yummy!

Katherine and her Mum spoilt us so this afternoon - THANKS!

Sports fun!

We have started some of our end of year events and enjoyed some sports fun on the field this afternoon.    The sun was shinning and the children were putting a lot of the key competencies learnt in Discovery Time into practice, asking to share and take turns with equipment as well as join in when an activity looked like fun.

Way to go Room 3!

Keep in Touch

This week one of the reading groups read a fun book called KEEP IN TOUCH.  In the story the girl keeps in touch with her Grandad by writing him letters.  She made a special letter in a big envelope for his birthday.

These clever children decided to make their own special letters at home, following the directions in the book they read.

Awesome work, Katherine, Daniella, Sophie, Ethan and Trinisha!

Rocky Shore Visit

 We had a great day at the Island Bay Marine Centre.

Victor and Judy really know their stuff, and we had loads of fun, first looking in the rock pools to see what we could find, and then heading inside to "touch and feel" and be amazed by all the awesome sea creatures.

Thanks to all the parent and grandparent helpers who were a great support on the trip and really got into the spirit of it all.....

Thanks for spending your birthday with us Chris, am sure it was memorable!

Dr Shark?

We know you secretly love it Lynsey!

Suits you Steph, shall I find our where you can get your own?

Thanks Bob and Margaret for a great day.

No trip to the rocky shore could be complete with out a bit of sun and wind and a sandcastle or two and we had fun at the park and down on the beach as well.

Our next step is to choose a creature from the rocky shore we would like to learn more about and do some inquiry learning...watch this space and expect to be amazed by the things we learn!!
By the way....did you know that a sea cucumber breathes thru it's bum??
