Fly swat and clothesline take away

Lessons we enjoyed with Mrs Deane:

Take away using little felt items of clothing on a washing line.

Fly swat with sight words.

Paper helicopters in push pull.

Under 8's Day

With blue passports tied around their necks, our under 8s headed off to collect stickers for completing numerous activities. Thanks to Kylie for photos from Hoola Hoops, Construction Play, Sand Castles, Obstacle Course, Dancing and Painting.

Best Buddies' Idea

We couldn't wait to click the flower pot at http://www.poissonrouge.com/ to help our prep buddies with their mouse control. We found out that many of our buddies didn't need much help at all!

We love hanging out making stuff and playing with our buddies but today was one of our best times ever! You can see their lovely teacher Miss Woods in one of the photos but Miss Maggie seems to have hidden away...

Do you like our brightly coloured 'house' t-shirts?

How creative are my boys!

The 2A boys know how to put a new spin on traditional Easter cards...

P.S. I'm currently canvassing for creative and crafty volunteers to work with 2A on Christmas activities at the end of the year...

Vivid portraits

Poetry is a wonderful way to connect with children and their lives. These vignettes form such  vivid portraits I feel as if I now personally know the 'characters' who my students love!


My Grandma
I see my Grandma jumping into a tree and coming back down again.
I hear amazing singing
I smell beautiful lipstick
I feel soft blankets wrapping around me.
I taste lemonade with ice.
My grandma makes me laugh!
-Georgia K

My Dad  (there were lovely lines written about Mum and Louis too!)

I see the wheels moving on my Powerwing

I hear the stones on the concrete rattling

I smell the dust fling behind me

I feel happy and contented.

I like jogging with Dad.

-Lauren

My Monopoly Champion Dad
I see him fixing the car
I hear the engine burning
I smell the gasful fumes
I feel the hot car
I love fixing the car with Dad.
-Jake


My Cousin
I see her running to me
I hear her heart when I put my ear to her chest
I smell hot cookies when I cook with her
I feel happy when she picks me up and spins me around.
I love my cousin.
-Georgia S


My Dad
I see my Dad on his DS ixl
I hear my Dad fishing
I feel my Dad giving me a hug
I taste the dinner made by Dad.
My Dad is fun to play with.
-Jordie


My Dad
I see my dad swimming
I hear my Dad cooking
I smell my Dad making cookies
I feel happy.
I like to play games with him!
-Aidan


My Dad
I see a hermit crab
I hear the waves
I smell fish and chips
I feel the wind
I taste lobster.
I love going to the beach with Dad.

My Favourite Book

Look at the wonderful variety of books that came in for Show and Tell.
For a whole day, I wasn't the oldest 'object' in the classroom... Can you work out which book I'm referring to?
