Disco Fun!

Does anyone recognise these wild animals?

Even the junior teachers got in on the jungle fun. 

Thanks PTA for a great night!

Busy Term 3!

Every Monday and Friday we have Buzz groups which allows students to share what they have been up to outside of school. Each group has a leader and one person from each group shares back to the whole class. We know how to be good listeners and a good audience as well as a proud presenter!

Here are some of us being amazing self-managers, completing mini book reports during our Reading time.

Chrome books?? Yes! Room 11 now have six of their very own chrome books. A huge thank you to the PTA for funding these for the junior syndicate. We love them!

CROSS COUNTRY was an absolute success which took place on Wednesday.

Learning with Room 8

We were lucky to have the other Year 2 and 3 class join us as we learnt about the Olympics. We watched some informative videos that shared the different sports and events that take place at the Olympics and a trailer for the Rio Olympics 2016. We had a lot of great discussions and questions come from it. 

This time, Cross Country! We learnt about the importance of warming up before and after a run and some ways to stretch your different leg muscles. 

Room 8 and 11 did a great job putting these to practice.

Reminder: Cross Country is this Wednesday 17th August, 1pm at Boyd Park!

Bruce Potter Visit!

Yesterday we had a visit from Bruce Potter, an Author and Illustrator from New Zealand. He demonstrated how we can 'doodle' and together with Room 8, 11 and 13 created a very wacky character!

Here are some things that Room 11 took away from his one hour visit:

·      Use your imagination

·      You can create your own drawing

·      You can make a book from a drawing

·      You can do anything want – there are NO RULES!

·      Mr Potter adds things onto his picture

·      He uses detail

·      Big eyes and big smile = likeable character (happy)

·      ‘Pac-man’ in the eye

·      Draw a shadow when someone is standing on the ground

We went back to class and decided to create our own doodles! Remembering all the things that we learnt from Mr Potter. We will post the finished products soon, so watch this space! :)
