Reading in Japanese




We were very lucky to have Masayo (Sakura's Mum) visit today and read us a story in Japanese. The children were quick to notice that she started to read the book from the back and that the writing went downwards. The children guessed that the story was The Three Little Pigs. Thanks Masayo for reading to us!


The Jewelled Gecko Enviro Award


Today Nicky Wagner MP visited our school. The children from Room 3 showed her our food scrap bin for the pigs and our year 1 garden. They also showed Nicky our class blog with photos of Wombat the kuni kuni pig. Nicky was also interested to read our earthquake stories. Children from the eco warriors showed her around our school and she was impressed with our school vege garden. We were all very happy when we were told this afternoon that we had won the Jewelled Gecko Enviro Award - $1000.00 towards our eco warriors group - yippee!

The Best Loved Teddy Bears



We have been reading books abut Teddy Bears and one book that we particularly enjoyed was called 'The Best Loved Bear'. Today the year 1 children had a teddy bear day. There was a range off teddy bears. Mrs Simmons Big Ted was the oldest bear. The children wrote wonderful stories about their teddy bears. We hope you enjoy the photos.
