Our Spring Walk

We enjoyed using our senses as we took an early morning walk around our school to see the signs of spring ...

Our Spring Play

We put on a Spring Play today and were all shining stars! Each of us knew exactly what to say and did all the actions perfectly too. Kenji was an excellent Father Nature who declared that Spring had arrived and he used his magical wand to get the animals and nature to perform. We all made our own crown using our imagination and creativity. Miss Kassan and Room 6 came to watch our play and they really enjoyed it. Happy Springtime, everyone!

Thank You, Miss Kassan

We really flourished under Miss Kassen's tutelage. She was our teacher for two weeks and has been very kind, enthusiastic and helpful. We enjoyed learning about giraffes with her and are so pleased she was able to join us at our swimming lessons.

Swimming Lessons

We thoroughly enjoyed our eight days of swimming lessons at Panmure Lagoon Centre! 

 

Our Giraffe Drawings

While our classmates were at their ESOL Language class, the rest of us enjoyed drawing these pictures of giraffes on our whiteboards. They are gorgeous, aren't they?

Maths Week

This week we are having a different experience of mathematics by visiting other classes and enjoying a new focus. On Monday Miss Kassan introduced us to Co-ordinates and how we read grids. We plotted some shapes on a grid and then used various computer links to try our hand at working with co-ordinates.

On Tuesday we were in Room 6 and we designed and made our own containers for capacity where we measured with rice. 

On Wednesday we made paper clocks in Room 10 and we are getting fast at showing the time in hours and half hours.

An Experiment with Skittles

It is always a treat watching the way Skittles begin to melt and to see the bright colours merge like a rainbow towards the centre of the plate! We used two plates of Skittles - one with cold water and one with hot water. To begin with, we used the cold water and we enjoyed watching the colours begin to flow. We agreed that because Skittles are coated with food colour, fruit and sugar, all those ingredients were beginning to dissolve. That's what caused the colourful patterns. The hot water made the Skittles dissolve much faster but the pattern was not as bright because it mixed together more quickly.
