Chinese New Year

What a busy week we have had in Rm3 exploring Chinese New Year. This has given us lots to research, write about and get creative about! The children have done a tremendous independent (but supported) effort on their lanterns and dragon art. We even had a special mystery guest come and share their amazing experiences on a recent visit to China, giving Rm3 learners an authentic insight into Chinese culture. We had planned questions in small groups around things we "wondered" about China, Mr Davies had hands up through much of his talk, with tricky questions like the one from Tom "how loud are firecrackers?". We also had a Rm1 learner read his favourite pop-up book to us for our "get comfortable teacher read" session, thanks Aaron!

Pets Week

Regardless of the challenge of flowers blowing off saucers and feathers getting flustered by the winds, it was awesome to see so many members of our school community and others join us for a fantastic day of crafts and pets! A big thank you once again for showing such support to your children and grandchildren it truly was wonderful how proud the children were of their amazing creations...take a look at some of the cool pets that turned up on the day, very cute!!
