Marley in England and France

Marley has just got back from his adventures in England and France. He had a splendid time, and got to see Big Ben and the Eiffel Tower. This photo is of Marley on the Jubilee Bridge in London with the River Thames and Big Ben behind him. Miss Cotman was terrified that Marley might decide to go swimming in the Thames. She was very pleased when he didn't!

Franklin on his School Visit

Bronwyn brought Franklin to school for a school visit. He liked the news circle but wasn't very interested in reading books yet. We loved showing Franklin our classroom!

Franklin's 5th Birthday

Today we went to Botany Downs Kindergarten to celebrate Franklin's Birthday. For those of you who have never met Franklin, Franklin is a turtle! We had a wonderful time. Thank you kindergarten for inviting us!

Hey Sister!

Is that my sister I can see? It is! It's her first week at morning Kindergarten!

....What a lot of questions she had about my school day!

Room 14 Read Their Bedtime Stories

Today Room 14 read us some bedtime stories that they have been writing in class. We read them stories from our publishing folders.

Happy Days in Room 9...

Maori Cultural Evening

What a great night! We loved it all.... but a lot of the stories we wrote today mentioned what we ate for supper! Thank you to everyone for coming and supporting us!

And Then We Made More...

Look What We Made!

We are very interested in rainbows at the moment because we are learning our Maori colours. Some girls worked on these two pictures using our maths beans. Notice that the colours are in the correct order (ROYGBIV). They then took pictures of what they had made.

What a great cat!

It's Maths Week!

Today we learnt about shapes. First we played a maths game in two teams. We had to spot shapes in the classroom. The pink team won by a whisker! Then we made a "define map" on the floor. We had to decide whether a shape was "relevant" or "not relevant" to our define map's title. The first one we did was "circles", if a shape was not a circle then it was "not relevant" and went on the outside. The second define map we made was "shapes with four sides". If a shape had four sides we had to put it in the circle as it was "relevant". You can see this define map in the photo. After that we made shape pictures.... look out for them in the classroom soon!
