Caleb was our 2nd pupil of the day. He just loved telling all about himself and his family! There are 4 in his family, his mom, dad and his younger sister. He told us that he loves to go and look for fossils in the garden with his grandfather. His granny has many animals at her house:- a tortoise, rabbits and she used to have lots of chickens. He has a number of foods that he enjoys like prawns, sushi, caramel cream cake and nachos. He even brought some Nachos for us all to taste! He loves spending time with his family, going to restaurants and celebrating birthdays.
We wrote our first spelling, dictation and maths tests this week. Everyone tried their best and I was so proud of them all. This weeks certificate winners were the children who got everything correct. A fantastic effort- well done!
Jaden was our first "pupil of the day". There are 4 in his family and his oldest brother is in grade 7 at our school. He likes fast cars, swimming at the beach and snorkeling. His favourite soccer team is Barcelona and Lionel Messi his most favourite player!
By way of introducing themselves the children in our class wrote a short paragraph all about themselves. We pinned them onto the mini-me life size dolls that we made and hung them across the classroom. They look stunning - everyone that comes to visit agrees.
You can see each of the class holding their mini-me puppets. They look great!
It was wonderful to meet all my new children and their parents. I look forward to a happy association with you this year.
It is the beginning of the new school year. It is time to meet my new class. Welcome to you all. It is going to be a great year!
In the book "Bad Luck Duck", the duck gets stuck in the ooey, gooey mud. She asks for help, but only goose was prepared to rescue her.
We decided that it would be wonderful to make some ooey, gooey muck and write a poem about what it feels like.
Both grade 2 classes went into the hall where we made some "muck" using maizena, water and food colouring. The children had a wonderful time playing and experiencing the muck. This was evident when they had to come up with words to describe what it felt like. We had a tons of words.
