**to ask questions to find out more information about farm animals

**what food and products, animals can give us

                     

                  

What food we had in our lunchboxes.

* On Wednesday 4th April  we got our lunchboxes and

   looked at all of the food we had inside them.

* We then decided we needed to group some foods.

* To collect our information we drew pictures to show what

   we had. 

* Look at pictograph below to show what was in our  

   lunchboxes.

* Can you answer the questions?

Junior Swimming Demonstration

Check out our water skills.

We had a fabulous day today showing off our swimming skills with Room 1, Room 2 and also Room 3. We have all gained heaps of confidence in the water this year and we now think we swim like dolphins. 
Heaps of our mums and dads and family members came to watch us too.  That made us feel PROUD!
Miss McGrath was our fab speaker on the microphone.
At the end we all sang 'Happy Birthday' to Locarno. 
He was allowed to get into the pool by himself to pick up a ring that we had left behind.

Triangle Maths Group

We have been learning different ways to make a group of five.

We used doubled sided counters.  

This made it easier for us to see the patterns.

Our group name

Can you see some of our patterns?

Super number sentences making groups of five.

EVA the Guide Dog visits

Today Miss Lane's friend Nicola and Eva the 
Guide Dog visited us.

Eva was very well behaved.  

She slept most of the time, while Nicola told us how she trains Eva, so she can be a Working Guide Dog when she is a little bit older.

We also asked lots of questions.

        Maybe you could ask your child a question about Eva. 

We all got to give Eva pats.

                 Eva's tags which show her name and number.

                                                 
                                                       Eva's working jacket.

                                       
                                         

                                   

2018.....2018......Welcome......2018.....2018

Room 4 has started with a buzz!

We are a mix of  26 Year 1 and Year 2 children.

We are making the most of the very warm weather to swim twice a week and most of us now can put our heads under the water......yahooo!
Today we got to try and splash Mrs Law and Katrina!

Welcome Back to Term Four!

What a busy and exciting start to the term we have had! Room 4 is still missing Mrs Law in the classroom, but we have been excited to see her around school in this last week. Mrs Paterson is teaching us for four days a week, and we have Miss McGrath on Mondays.

It has been very busy, we experienced Chinese Language week in Week 1 - come into the classroom and see our wonderful display of dragon masks. We have been creating some beautiful pieces of art with Mrs Paterson, there are pictures of 'marbled' balloons hanging in our classroom. 

This week we have been extremely lucky to have extra people helping us with our learning. We have had Constable Cyrus teaching us about Road Safety. Check out the photos below of when we went on our walk, to practise crossing the road and watching our for sneaky driveways. 

But that's not all...we have also had the Tread Lightly caravan in school, teaching us how to be environmentally friendly and sustainable, which fits perfectly with the rest of our learning this year, and the theme for our Celebration Day! We went to the caravan to undertake some activities, we played games to help us think about what we had learnt and we also planted some seeds to grow! 

For these extra activities, we had some wonderful family volunteers to come and help us with our learning. THANK YOU to all of our volunteers - we love it when you come in to work with us! 

Just a reminder that it is our Room Four assembly next Friday - we hope to see lots of you there. Have a good weekend everyone. 😄
