Have a Go

Today in Discovery time we watched a Youtube called Sid the Seed. Sid was too scared to come out of his little hole. When Sid finally came out he found an exciting world.

We talked about our Key for Learning, "Have a Go." Our challenge in Discovery time today was to have a go at something different. Here are some of the things we tried.

 We made oobleck from cornflour and water. We made tents and houses from sheets.

Easter fun

Today we are all having great fun doing Easter activities.  Here's a sample.  We hope you all have a lovely Easter break.

Thanks everyone for your contributions to the Purple Cake Challenge.  You did well!

What a week!

We have had such a busy week on The Terrace. The School Council organised activities to raise money for Purple Cake Day. We raised around $1 400!!! The money is going to help children in Kenya. It's all about kids helping kids. See the photos below.

We also had the amazing magician, El Gregoe,  come and perform tricks. He also had a message about having a good day at school by being a HERO:
Helpful
Encouraging
Respectful
Opportunities

Swimming

Last Wednesday we showed our families what we could do in swimming. Rooms 6 and 7 worked together to demonstrate all the skills we have learned. Judy and Carol were so impressed with our listening and our skills. We were awesome!

Popcorn Challenge

Yippeee.  On Wednesday we finished our popcorn challenge.  We earned stars by being ready to listen on the mat.  We thought the popcorn tasted yummy.

The Minstrel
This morning we watched The Minstrel show.  The Minstrel travels around the country helping educate  children about fishing and water safety.  We learned many things and found it very entertaining.

In the afternoon our key for learning was about sharing.  We had a lot of "fishy" activities to choose from and see if we could share.
