Nativity Sets

Today we started making our own nativity set. We made Mary, Joseph and the Baby Jesus. Tomorrow we will be making an angel and a star. We will have a decorated shoe box to keep our sets in and we will be able to retell the Christmas Story.

Christmas Around the World

We have started our Christmas Around the World Topic work with a trip to Germany. We learnt about Christmas Trees and we have put up our classroom Christmas Trees.

Maths Problem Solving

Today we had to use our clever maths thinking to help us solve a problem with jam sandwiches. Two children needed to share a sandwich, how could we cut it evenly? We worked out there were three ways to cut it - horizontally, vertically and diagonally. Then we all got to enjoy eating some jam sandwiches. Yum yum!

Junior Athletics Sports

Today we participated in the Junior Athletics Sports. It was really hot but we had a great time showing our friends and families all the clever things we could do. Then we did the sprints - even the Mum's, Dad's and preschoolers ran. We enjoyed a picnic lunch together at the end.

Hermit Crab Chalk Drawing

Today Mrs Renner taught us about drawing with chalk outside. We drew these amazing Hermit Crabs based on the book by Eric Carle.

Making Jelly

We are learning about mixtures for our Kitchen Chemistry work. Yesterday we made jelly. The jelly crystals melted in the hot water and changed the colour of the water. The jelly crystals disappeared. Dissolving was the new word we learned.
