Term 2 - Week 1 and 2

Term 2 - Week 1 and 2


WOW! What a busy 2 weeks to start off Term 2! 
We continue to welcome new students into our class and they are fitting into our room so well, learning the ropes of what school is all about and having such good roles models to set the expectation.

                                                        LEAVES, LEAVES, LEAVES
We started the term talking about our change in weather. What was happening? Why was it getting so cold? AUTUMN!!!! What happens in Autumn? "It's snowing leaves!" "The leaves fall off the trees because they have died." 
We spent some time talking about the seasons, the difference in clothing between Summer and Autumn, the foods we start to eat as the weather cools down and the weather change: rain, fog, frost. 
We went on an adventure outside to explore the leaves using our senses: look, feel, sound and smell - we could only imagine what they tasted like!

 We then wrote some AMAZING stories about our experience with the leaves. You can find these on our wall in the classroom.





ANZAC ASSEMBLY
Last Thursday we held our ANZAC assembly to remember our soldiers who had fallen. We sang songs, listened to the older children and Mr Mclachlan share stories about our ANZAC's and learnt a lot from them! Miss Marriott and Miss Morrell were super impressed by the beautiful singing and reading of the crosses from our class.

RIPPA RUGBY 
On Tuesday we had our Rippa Rugby Fun Day! There were a lot of nervous but excited children in our class. We know all of the children are proud of themselves for giving Rippa a go! Here are some photos for you to enjoy!
