What a wonderful bunch of book characters we had arrive at school for our book week parade today. We truly do have some creative families out there - and what a perfect way to celebrate books and reading! Thank you to everyone for making the effort. Our Kindergarten students were fortunate to have 4H visit to share books for Book Week this week. They had chosen their own books, practised reading and even prepared props! The 4H students presented their books extremely well and our Kindergarten students were delighted to have them visit. Thank you 4H! Our challenge in STEM was linked to our introduction to Child Protection focusing on protection. During our Child Protection program we discussed protection and the ways parents and family protect us and how objects such as helmets and shin guards protect us. Our STEM challenge criteria were to make something that protects and to explain how it protects and what it protects us from. See the slide show below to share some of the great work the students produced. Mrs Dunn and the students in KD are very lucky to have Miss Gill in our classroom to complete her final practical teaching experience before qualifying as a teacher. We hope she enjoys her time with us. Please take a moment to read about Miss Gill and pop in to say hello in person if you are in the school.
Thank you to all who made it along to our Zoom exhibition in the hall last week. It was so wonderful for you to share in your child's work within our HSIE unit of work. We listened as the children explained that we started with our perceptions of what the world looks like, then zoomed in to Australia, then NSW, Eurobodalla and our local area. We then zoomed into our houses, our family, our friends and ourselves. This was a great integrated unit of work looking at our place in the world, along with family history and heritage. Thanks again to you all for sharing in it and congratulations to all of our Kindergarten students who worked so hard making connections and expressing their understandings to share with you. For those who weren't able to make it along to the exhibition, please have a browse through the photographs below and enjoy discussing your child's work with them when it comes home. Last Friday we were joined by Courtney Fink-Downes to learn about and celebrate National Tree Day. We talked about what native trees and plants are - what role they play in our environment and how important they are to our ecosystem. Courtney then showed us how to plant some trees and later in the day we planted them along the fenceline of our car park where we hope that they will grow to be a buffer from the new construction adjacent to the school. It was a wonderful experience for all, and the first time gardening for some. |
