We make patterns in finger paint for the background of our Walter Walrus pictures.

Reduce, Reuse and Recycle

Reduce, Reuse and Recycle! We watched a story called 

Pappa please get the moon for me, by Eric Carle

Alyssa and Harriet could recall all the important facts about the story.

Look at their lovely play dough pictures! 

Luke and Jenna hard at work! We are recycling egg boxes to make new paper.

Busy hands.

Squishy squashy hands.

.Massimo makes 'new' paper.

Paige concentrates really hard and makes sure there are no holes in the paper.

World Environment Day 

We remember how important it is to Recycle, Reuse and Reduce! 

Mother Earth

We sing; "He's got the whole world in his hands, he's got the whole world in his hands ................"

We dig holes in the garden for our experiment. We bury some fruit peels, a plastic canister and a tin can.

When we come back to school after the holidays we will dig them up to see what has happened.

 

Recycling old boxes is fun. We have to plan carefully and make sure that the structures don't fall over.

     

We recycle old tins to make a Father's Day gift.

We recycle plastic bottles to make bird feeders.

It is really hard work cutting plastic and punching holes. 

We spent time discussing bird feeders and decided that they must:

- be able to hang in a tree.

- be pretty to make the birds want to come to them.

- be able to hold seeds or food for the birds.

- have a place for the bird to sit.

Some children even added toys to their bird feeders. 

Michael made a slide for the birds.

We practise writing 'p' on the carpet.

Mrs. Webber is very imPressed with Aidans 'p'.

He is very Proud of himself!

Fun in the fantasy garden!

 The Grade 00's are kind to share their 

dress-up clothes with us.

J Our broad smiles say it all!

 Alyssa celebrates her 6th birthday at school.

Ff for Firefighter Fred!

Luke and Harriet slide down the fireman's pole.

 

Welcome back to school for the third term!

Welcome back to the Third Term of Grade R

Michael brought some sugar cane to school. He gave us all some to taste.

Welcome to Coach Simone who will be taking us for 


Kinetics while coach Lauren is on maternity leave.

Massimo and Aidan 'baking cookies' to share with a friend. 

Megan practises to write her name.
