We are halfway through the term already. We can’t believe time has flown by so quickly. This term has been so busy with lots of short weeks due to public holidays and loads of work and fun.

At the beginning of the term we had our Cross Country which had been postponed from last term. It was a great day with lots of fun. It was awesome to see everyone dressed up in their house colours. Now we have been working hard with Coach Tim on a Tuesday learning the skills for Sports Day which is the Friday of Week 9.

In Weeks two and three we worked very hard to make our gifts for our special Mothers, Nannas, Nans and others in our lives. What gorgeous gifts we gave our special people. We had a lovely afternoon tea on the Friday of week 3. Our class made some yummy cornflake cookies for afternoon tea.

We have been working hard in class on our learning. Lots of shapes and counting in Maths. Musical shapes is such a fun game to play! Throwing snowballs at Yeti’s is a fun counting activity that Kruze loves. Magnetic toys, games and experiments in science. We have a wonderful magnetic magician in our room who loves to show you his tricks. In English we have had a great time recreating some of the books we’ve been reading with dress ups. ‘What colour is Bear’s underwear’ was a great book that everyone loved matching our teddy bear to his coloured underwear just like the bear in the book. ‘Bundled up’ was another book we enjoyed. We invited Miss Karen down to our room to join in on the dress up fun.

Please be careful now that the cold weather is coming in. Illnesses are starting to go around our room. We appreciate when you keep your child home when they are sick. Also could you please ensure that your child has a full spare set of clothes and a jumper, sometimes the weather can change throughout the day.

Thank you

Jennie, Sarah, Elliot, Isaiah, Kruze and Naomi
