Friday 5th April

This week we started school on Wednesday because it was Easter. We have done a lot of great learning. We learnt about African stuff. And we made necklaces because they wear them in Africa to show how much money they have. We made the necklaces so we could look like the people in Africa. Come in and see them.
We also learnt about China. They have Dragon boats, Dragon puppets and Dragons which protect the good people in Chine and scare away the bad things. We learnt that China has a great wall and they use chopsticks to eat instead of knifes, forks and spoons. In China they have an emperor which is like a King. We have enjoyed learning about these cultures.

Week 8- Shape Walk

In room 1 we have been very busy.
We have been learning about shapes in maths. We have been learning shape names and how many corners or sides the shapes have.
On Friday last week we went out to find shapes in our playground.
There are shapes everywhere!

We found squares, triangles, semi-circles, cylinders, diamonds, hexagons, spheres and pentagons.
We had a lot of fun on our shape walk.
Ask us about shapes and where we can see them.

Week 3

This week we did some aboriginal painting. Aboriginals are from Australia where Asher used to live. We went to the beach on Monday. While we were there we got to splash the adults, we had a race, we made sand castles and we jumped the waves. We had a fun day!
When we got back we did some story writing about the beach.
We have been doing maths and we have been doing swimming.
On Friday we had show and tell. Ben, Lucy, Annie Rose, Bella, Garick, Asher and Braeden shared something with us. We asked lots of great questions.
This week we filled our class alien and we got to have some free time on the play ground as a reward for our good behaviour.
We had a awsome week!
Next week we are going to try really hard to put our hands up when we have something to say.

Term 1, Week 2

Wow! What a fantastic start to school we have had. We are all getting used to being a part of the Room 1 team and have been making some great new friends. Swimming each day is going well and evern though the pool is cold most of us are getting in and having fun. We have started reading and are taking home new books and poems to share with our families every day. We have already learnt so much.
Next week we are going to Beach Education and we are really looking forward it.
