Welcome to Term 4!

We have hit the ground running this Term 4!

It is sure to be another term of outstanding learning and growing!

Spuds in the bucket

We had fun digging up our potatoes as part of Ag day.

It was very exciting as we didn't know what was going to be under the soil! 

We really enjoyed this activity. Here we are in action...

A Frosty Morning

It is nearly winter time and it is starting to get cold!

This morning there was a frost! 

We went out to explore the frost.

We wrote some wonderful stories about the frost.

Here are some of our stories:

'I saw frost and my finger got frozen. It made a crunch.' 

'I saw frost on the grass. It felt weird and hard.'

'The frost was cold. It melted in the sun.'

'The ice was cold. It was making a fizzing noise like fizzy drink. Brrrrrr.'

'It was cold on the frosty grass. It went crrrrr under my feet.'

'I saw hand prints in the ice. It was chilly'.

'I was freezing and I stepped on the ice. Crunch'

Ruben the Road Safety Bear

Today we were lucky enough to get a visit from Ruben the Road Safety Bear.

We learnt lots of really important things about being Road Safe. Some of these were:

*Stop, Look, Listen and Link when we cross the road -Beau

*We need to be careful of sneaky driveways - Izzy

*We need to remember to put a helmet on when we go on our bikes - Evie

*We need to sit in a booster seat with a seat belt when we are in the car (until we are over 148 cms tall) - Riley

*We need to click our helmet straps together to keep it on our head so we don't break our brain - Nikita

*Cross at a zebra crossing when we can - Lucas

*Wait for cars and trucks and vans and go when the green light man comes up at zebra crossings - Tahlia

The Slug that came to School

This morning Myla and her sister found a slug! She brought it in to share for news. She thought looked a bit like a tiger and it feels slimy and squishy! It also stretches when it moves and gets really long!

She wrote an amazing story about the slug!

Before school Arley found a slug on the mat and Arley picked it up. She put it in a container then went outside and got some silverbeet for the slug. The slug loved it! It explored in the silverbeet and ate its   way through the                cabbage.

Cross Country

Today was our school Cross Country!

We managed to avoid the rain and we got to participate in our first Cross Country event!

We have been training for this for a long time so we were very excited for our race!

Happy Daffodil Day!

This week was Maths week.

We were really excited about all the maths challenges and enjoyed the competition on mathletics!

Here are some Room 2 superstars!

Beau has been showing great thinking and problem solving skills. He also has been explaining and justifying his thinking.

Shay was on the leader board for the Tri-nations competition. He got over 8000 points. Well done! What a great effort!

Maths week Problem Solving

We have been doing lots of problem solving activities this week as part of maths week.

'Sh' sound

One of our phonics groups has been working on the 'sh' sound.

Look at all the words they could write that have a 'sh' sound in

Can you think of some other words with the 'sh' sound in?
