Angela's mom measures her to see how tall she is.


 
Thank you for looking after the silkworms during the school holidays, Caitlin. 
We all love checking up on the silkworms every morning. 
 Recycling toilet rolls to make pictures of trees.  
 
 We learn that if we do a little everyday we can achieve a lot!

Look how grown up we are getting! 
Christiaan and Lise made patterns and pictures on the elastic boards!


We look at all the interesting things on our Growing table.
Using a magnifying glass is fun. 

We celebrated Bandanna Day in Pre-Primary.  

 Angela and her brother Shaun show off their bandannas.
