Paints, crayons, magazines and newspapers will be provided, but if you have additional materials your child would like to use (feathers, wool, cupcake patties etc) please have them bring them along tomorrow morning.

For all the creative enthusiasts who are working on amazing pieces at home, entries close next Friday, 27 February.

We Have Eggs!

As part of our Science unit on the living world, we have been learning about life cycles. Yesterday, 7 eggs in an incubator arrived in our classroom. We have been trying to guess what type of animal might hatch from the eggs. We are looking forward to watching the eggs hatch and seeing the animals grow. It is a very exciting experience indeed!

3D Shapes are Everywhere!

In 3C we have started a unit on 3D shapes. We started our investigation of shapes in our world with supermarket catalogues.
Next we will take some photos of shapes in nature!
Shapes really are everywhere!
   

Our Living World

This year 3C and 4E will be working through our Science and HSIE units together. Today we started our work on our Science unit, Our Living World.We started in the most logical of places - outside searching for living and non living things in our world.

The Sneetches by Dr. Seuss

In English, we have started a study of the book, The Sneetches by Dr. Seuss. This is a story that many children can relate to as it explores the idea of being different and, as a result, being excluded. We have talked about the way that characters treat one another and how our personal experiences can help us understand a particular point of view.

Today the children came up with their own scenarios and performed short plays to show their understanding of the concepts we have discussed. Why not have a chat with your child about what they think the message behind The Sneetches is and comment on their thoughts??
