Kayleigh challenged herself to go down the parallel bars. She has been wanting to do it for a while and today was the day! Well done Kayleigh, for not giving up and knowing you would be able to do it!

On Fridays, we enjoy sharing news and sometimes we bring something from home to talk about. Milly brought along her puppy which reads aloud a story. Milly put the FM Roger near the puppy so Jayden could hear . .

As part of our construction unit we made a dinosaur diorama as a way to use our newly learnt skills and because we have a high interest in dinosaurs!  This is Kayleigh's diorama. 

These are our healthy heroes! These children completed the whole programme right to the end! Well done.

hWe were very lucky to have Tiffany from Van Asch School, who is a part of our class twice a week,  play her Clarinet for us. This was to support our music unit for term 3. It was a fantastic opportunity to hear  and see an instrument being played. If you look closely you will see, by the children's hand movements, that they are responding to the changes in the pitch of the tune.

Book Week at school this week was lots of fun! The author we enjoyed learning about was David McKee. We loved reading  many of his books but particularly his books about Elmer the elephant. On Friday we had our dress up parade and we didn't really mind it was raining! We finished the day by being the presenters and  running our Team Totara assembly. Everyone in room 8 said their part, sat quietly and patiently and showed respect throughout. I was so proud that I gave everyone a togetherness AND respect token!

Here is Lily sitting in my teaching chair and sharing her 'ME' poster. Lily and her mum made
a lovely, colourful poster and had taken a lot of time making it together.
She  told us all about her family, her pet dog and that she likes to go on picnics and fly kites. When Lily grows up, she would like to be a doctor because she likes looking after people who are hurt. We think you would make a lovely doctor because you show our school HEART values every day. Well done Lily!

We made a tunnel down the ramp outside outside our classroom. Jayden brought an exciting monster car for news sharing and we wanted to see how far it would go. 

We had to work together to make the tunnel. We were very excited! Jayden's getting ready to let the car go.
