Advent Wreaths

Last week the children worked together, with a partner, to create an Advent wreath. As you can see, the children came up with many different and creative ways to make their wreath. Lots of thinking, problem solving and team work went into this activity. Well done everyone!

The cat in the hat

This term as part of our Literacy groups, we have been focusing on rhyme and stories that have lots of rhyming words. This week we have read ‘The cat in the hat’. One of our activities is a ‘guided drawing’ activity. Here are some of the ‘Cat in the hat’ drawings that one group completed today. I was so impressed with the care and attention to detail they put into their creations. Great job!dsc04627 dsc04628 dsc04629 dsc04630 dsc04631 dsc04632 dsc04633 dsc04634 dsc04635

 

St Vincent de Paul Christmas Food Appeal

Thank you Dane for reminding us that the St Vincent de Paul Christmas Food Appeal has started! He was the first person to bring something to add to our shopping bag. We look forward to seeing all the food start coming in. It makes Christmas all the more special when we know we have shared our good fortune with others.

A Special Event

Yesterday, Grace and Ruby’s Dad and Mum came to show us what they do in their job. They brought an ambulance to school! They showed us some of the medicine that they have in their packs and some of the machines. We were also lucky enough to go inside the ambulance as well! Our homework was to make sure that we know our address. This is very important if the paramedics have to come to our house to help.

Stars in the making!

Congratulations to all our stars in R/1 Black/Quinn. The children put on two fantastic shows last week that dazzled many Parents, Grandparents and special friends. We are so proud of all the hard work, persistence, energy and enthusiasm that the whole class put into their ‘Shrek’ item and into the whole school finale ‘Flashlight’. It certainly was a highlight for the year and an experience that the children will remember.

Here are some photos from our Thursday dress rehearsal:
