13 November

Constable Boonen a police came and talked to us about road safety she taught us heaps. After she visited we had to write a story about Constable Boonen coming to visit (they were great). We made some sun smart posters and we put people on them with sunscreen and hats on (they were very sunsmart). We do a fun duck dance to music we really enjoy doing that. The baby mice are going home now and Edgar has taken 4 baby mice home and Rachel has took some home too. We had some fun drawing mice we drew them, cut them and them we painted them carefully. We are still doing counting for math's and we have solved the problem of the week so we have another one to solve. We have had an exciting week.

9 November

Athletics was awesome and some of us got a placing, we were all very proud of ourselves. We made and shared mouse houses at assembly. We painted them and then we put all the objects in the mouse house that a mouse would need to survive. We had to pay $3.50 to go see a clown (called Mazz). She got us to draw pictures and write our name out of pictures. She was very cool. We are learning about clocks for maths. We are still taking care of our pet mice Dana and Tana and the baby mice are getting bigger and bigger. We took our bean plants home and some of them have died but we our sunflower seeds are getting bigger. We are enjoying our fifth week of the term.

28 October

We had a great four day holiday and we are enoying our third week of the last term. We are having a great time doing athletics every Wednesday and we are just about ready for the real athletics next week. We are still studying pets and our next topic is about road and water safety and we are also learning to keep sunsmart in the hot weather. A police woman is coming to visit us soon to teach us more about safety.

12 October

We have 8 new students in our classroom so we are pretty busy and 1 student has left so now we are a lovely bunch of 23 kids. Most of us enjoyed the holidays. We are very excited about Ag Day on Friday and we painted and decorated our salt dough (that was heaps of fun). The people who have animals for Ag Day have to make a project about them and make them look nice and colourful. We have learnt lots about seeds, plants, flowers and birds. We are also growing sunflower seeds now. We are learning about pictures so when we do art this term we will know more about it.

26 September

Here are some lovley pitures of our pet mice and a picture we drew of our pet mice.

24 September

We have had some fun making salt dough for Ag Day. Our seeds are growing now except for a couple of people's. We got to taste Sun Flower seeds and some of us thought they tasted like pineapple. We went to the school production. It was awesome and some of us got a fright from the cannon that BOOMED out confetti. When we got back from the play we had to write a story about it. For writing we normally write about what interesting things we did on the weekend. Jump Jam has been fun and we are sad for it to be over. For fitness we have to listen to the teacher's instructions and do what she says. Some of room 1 is moving in to room 2. That will be exciting because we will make some new friends. Most of us are enjoying our last fun days of term 3 and all of us will enjoy the holidays and some of us will miss the teachers!

15 September

At the end of the day the person that has been the best all day gets to take home a toy dog called Spot. Our plants that we planted aren't coming through yet. We water our plants every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. For writing we are learning about fairy tales so we had to start our stories with the words once upon a time. We are also learning about patterns. We made fruit kababs with pineapple, apples, kiwifruit and mandarines. They were delicious.

8 September

We are studying plants, seeds and flowers so we had some fun planting our own seeds in pot plants. Mrs West read us a non-fiction and we also had fun with her. For the reading groups one of the books we are reading is called Dad's Snore. We are also learning about colours. We are working and we are looking foward to the holidays.

28 August

We thought the Super Value trip was cool. We got to see two skinned sheep and pigs and the butcher was going to cut them up and put them on show so people would buy them. At the back was a big storage shed with ice-cream in it (yum). We also made a big flow chart to help us. The best part was when we got to scan items at the checkout. We held the assembly and the people who spoke were Michael and Rachael. Olivia and Jordyn got caught being good. We also did some cool writing about the super value trip (the stories are down in the Students' Work). Cambell Julian won the lollies for Daffodil Day. The whole school raized over 300 dollars!!


It was cool to learn how to scan food at the counter.	We learnt lots about where the food comes from and all the different jobs in a supermarket.

25 August

We read a book called the "Elephant stuck in the hole" and we had to draw a picture of elephant in the hole. For art we also drew a picture of us jumping in a skipping rope for fitness. Daffodil Day is on Friday and we are all excited to bring some money along and guess how many lollies are in the lolly jar (Yum!!). We are doing a super market study and we are learning about what is healthy and what is not. We are going to Super Value to learn more about that topic so we think that we be exciting. For Maths we are learning our addition and subtraction. We take turns on the computer so we get a fair go. We also get to make anything we want out of clay (that's fun). Mrs Turner and Mrs Geor are awesome. Mrs Turner teaches us Maths and Mrs Geor teaches us how to read and do our language. We know Alphabet now and we made up a rhyme to remember how it goes. If we are being good then we get a stamp on our card and when we get 10 stamps we get a special prize. For homework we take reading books home. We also get to build and play with the blocks at free time.

Here are some stories about the Super market trip

I liked to eat the ice cream. I did see the dead pig in the freezer. I saw the dead sheep. I did not like the big pigs.
by Jordyn Brogden

The milk man went in and out. I had a turn at scanning the food. I saw a dead pig and a dead sheep in the butchers room.
by Cambell Julian

I went to Michelles supermarket. When we went to there we sat on the steps. Room 1 went to the supermarket too. My favourite food was the Hokey Pokey ice cream. Savanah was playing a game and I played to and Jordyn played too. My Mum told Savanah to fing some food and mu Mum told me tofind some food to.
