Term 1, week 7

We have had another busy week at school.

On Wednesday we had 5 people come and visit us in Room 1. Ryleigh, Bella, Mac, Caitlin and Ariana will be starting with us soon. On their visit we made fruit kebabs. We then wrote a recount on how we made them. Fruit is healthy for us. We have been learning about healthy food and the food pyramid in Inquiry.

On Wednesday we also had Discovery. We are learning to manage ourselves. 

We love Discovery.

On Thursday the Skud race car came to visit, we thought it was Awsome! 

Here is a link to view it after Brett turned it on for us. It was really loud!

On Friday we have the library. We get to take 2 books home. 

Swimming Demo - week 6

The Junior syndicate had their swimming demonstration on Friday afternoon. The sun was out and it was nice and warm for our last time in the pool.

We all chose a skill we had been learning in our lessons that we wanted to show our families in a race.

Some of us chose to use a kick board. 

Another group chose to use noodles. 

We could also choose to walk/run across the pool. 

Next, we had a house relay. One person from each class in each house was in the race. 

For Room 1 we had Olivia representing red house, Tyler for blue house, Jasmine for green house and Jacoby for yellow house. 

Blue house won, followed by green, red and yellow house. 

We were surprised at the end of our demo with some ice blocks. 

They were very tasty and refreshing. After that we could have some free time in the water before going home.

We had a great time showing what we could do in the water.

Term 1, week 6

We have been practising lining up like Room 1 children should. We are experts.

The things we are remembering is keeping a bubble in our mouths, our hands at our sides and walking in a straight line. 

We did music this week, we are learning to keep the beat. 

This week in PE with Greg we were learning different ways to move around. We had to hop, jump and run to get the treasure out of the treasure chest in our teams. 

Star Wrter of the Week- Week 4, Term 1

Our star writer this week was Tyler. He wrote a story about how he wanted to be in a rock band.

He used some fantastic joining words in his story.

Beach Education - Term 1, Week 3

In Inquiry we have been learning about water safety and how to be safe in the sun. On Friday we went to the beach to find out how to be safe at the beach.

 

We need to SLIP on a t-shirt, SLOP on some sunblock, SLAP on a hat and WRAP on some sun glasses.

 

We had to find people in the picture who were being safe in the sun and some who were not being safe in the sun.

 

 

We learnt how to spot a rip and why we need to swim between the flags.

 

These are the rules we need to remember at the beach...

1. Always swim between the flags

2. Always listen to the advice of the life guards

3. Always have an adult watching you.

4. Never swim alone

5. If in doubt, stay out

6. Learn to recognise a rip

 

 

Ashleigh dressed up as a lifeguard and had to pull Jake out of the water as he was drowning. The rest of the New Entrants had to pretend to be the waves.

 

 

We went to the beach to play some games. We had to get in groups and make some sand castles.

 

Then we put on our togs and sun block and we went out in the water. We jumped in the waves and splashed about. It was a lot of fun!

We loved our visit to the beach!
