Term 4 Week 2 update

Congratulations to Ella and Niamh who received certificates at assembly on Friday. We are proud of you girls.

Vianca also received a sticker in her reading log this week - keep up the great reading Vianca.

Ruby and Holly both did some great writing this week and you can read this by clicking on the writing tab at the top of this page. I loved the way they used interesting words, included lots of details and you could hear their personality in their work. Well done girls - we are very impressed.

For homework last week the children wrote math stories about mythical creatures. You can find these on the math tab at the top of this page. Can you work out the answers?

Our paparazzi Riley has been very busy this week and has taken some great photos for our blog. Well done Riley.

Aaaarrgghh! Spider!

We have been reading a book called Aaaarrggh! Spider! about a spider who wants to become a family pet.

We made a spider web in the classroom by passing a ball of wool across the circle to each other. 

We have been inspired to draw some spider webs and on Tuesday we went outside to draw some on the playground. Be careful where you walk, or you might get caught too.

Kids Can Cook

In week one we had a visit by Chris from Kids Can Cook. Ella was selected to be his Sous Chef, she did an amazing job keeping calm amongst the chaos of crepes landing on the roof and on the floor. The filling was grated apple and chopped silverbeet. We learnt about the different areas of our tongues that taste different flavours and found out that sweet (apple) and bitter (silverbeet) makes a savoury taste. Finally we all got to be Taste Testers with mixed opinions on the final result. We are looking forward to trying out our own ideas at home. Let us know what your favourite filling is by posting a comment.
