It was good to get back to school this Monday after having time off with my sore back. It has been a busy week but we are working on some really interesting projects.
Visual Art
Our Dean Buchanan work is coming along very well. You had a great start with Angela, when I was away last Wednesday! I bought the hessian yesterday so we can get started next week on the painting! I am planning our next art project and thinking about weaving??????
Writing
We will continue to write our scientific reports and will start some poetry!
Reading
Our reading recently has been focused on reading for information. We have just started play reading to prepare us for speeches - oral language! Next week we will examine a range of stories with a focus on understanding the deeper meanings in text.
Maths
We start our unit in measurement and in particular look at measuring angles.
Sport
Cross Country is our current focus in preparation for our school cross country next Wednesday at Cox’s Bay Reserve.
Science Fair
I have been conferencing with all of you over the last week or two about your science fair projects. You only have just two weeks before the Science Fair goes on display in the Hall. Most of you seem to be well on the way! Remember to keep your log book up to date and bring it to school on Mondays and any other time your are asked to. You also need to come and talk to me if you are having any problems! Don’t leave it until the last minute.

Perhaps you could take some photographs of the Science Fair Projects, or maybe even display them with a slide show or video that you could put online.
That way Schools that have Science Fair coming up might get some ideas for projects because we could view them with other students!

Hi Lesley
Today Molly Sasha and I went for a walk to the school and we saw that Muffin and Vanilla were still in the classroom!
Molly and I saw that you had moved the desks around. How come we are just in a three and everyone else is in bigger groups?
There is only a tiny bit for the mat.

Hi Lesley
Today I forgot to get a CD because I was handing out the notices and I was in a rush so I forgot.
