WRITING Bird Week

We have been having a bird focus for writing this week.

It started with a Gouldian Finch that I brought to school from our aviary.  The children were very excited to see it.

Here are a few samples of their work.



The Gouldian finch is colourful.
It is pretty and I liked it.

Heroes in our school

As part of our Inquiry 'Heroes in Our Community' we went to visit, and interview, the leaders of our school.

The children had a great time and learnt lots about what Mr Young, Mrs Dyet and Mrs Bergin-Stuart do in our school.




MATHS - sorting

The children enjoyed sorting shells, and did a great job.






Hiwi the Kiwi

The children really enjoyed their visit by the Minstrel to talk to them about having fish for the future. They really loved his stories and songs.  They were inspired to write stories about what we can do when we go fishing.

WELCOME TO ROOM 4 2017

Welcome to Room 4 2017

We have all been very excited to be back for a new year.



This is our class at the start of the year - but we will be growing.

Our Inquiry this term is 'Heroes in our Community' and ourselves as 'Power Learners'.

We made a girl and a boy super hero and talked about what we like to do, or would like to do in school.

We will now make sure that we do all of these things over the term.

Here are a few photos of the children enjoying the playground.
