The Pre-primary Grape Stroll
Connecting with friends from other classes is always fun!
Snack time is always a favourite part of the Grade R routine.
It's especially good to have a picnic in the vineyards!
Boys refueling for the rest of the stroll!
It was fun exploring our beautiful and expansive campus too.
It is fun making play dough pictures.
We make pictures of the life cycle of insects.
We learnt about the life cycle of a snail too. Somerset College snails are treasured. We love to collect them and make homes for them in our Fantasy Garden.
We learn to recite a poem about snails.The Snail
All across the garden wall, silvery and bright
There's a line where a snail took a walk last night.
He came from the rockery for something to eat
And that would be his foot marks if a snail had feet.
Have you ever seen a snail, going off for walks - with his house on his back and his eyes on stalks?
Well, when he has finished he rolls them in his head and goes inside his tidy house, to tuck himself in bed!
Grant rolls the paper very carefully to make a stem for the sunflower.
Mrs. Webber loves our sunflowers. They are so bright and cheerful!
We discussed root vegetables. We made a picture of vegetables under the ground. We also learn to tie knots. It was very hard for some of us!
We loved "The story of the Little Mole who knew it was None of his Business". It was very funny story and gave us all a good laugh! We used playdough to make a picture about the story.
What a fantastic tower! The boys cooperate with each other and are very pleased with themselves.
Reece and Caitlin made volcanoes out of salt dough.
Sunny days are fun days at school.

We visited Mrs. Jerling in the Science room.
Mrs. Jerling gave us a lesson about rocks. She told us about igneous rocks and sandstone. She showed us a lot of different rocks. We learnt that the granite table tops in our bathrooms and kitchens are also made from rock. It was very interesting.
