Poetry Competition

Today Onnah, Brooke and Hamish recited their poems at the Year 0, 1 and 2 final competition.  We were so proud of how wonderful you all were.  Mrs Allen had so many comments from other teachers and parents singing your praises! A big congratulations to Hamish who was placed 3rd - your Triceratops poem  was fantastic!

Room 9's Poetry Superstars

On Friday we had our class poetry competition.  We all did so well learning our poems and reciting them in front of a big audience.  Even if some of our poems are hard to hear in the video you can work out what they are about by the gestures that the children use.  We wish Onnah, Brooke and Hamish all the best of luck for the Year 0, 1 and 2 competition on Tuesday!

Congratulations Lucy!

Lucy is our Heart of Achievement winner this month.  Lucy has such a great attitude to all her learning.  Keep up the wonderful work!

Dinosaur Baking

We had a great time making some Dinosaur biscuits today.  On Friday we will ice and decorate them................and of course eat them!

Meet our new buddy class - Room 22!

A few days before the big snowfall we spent some time getting to know our new buddy class for Term 3.   They are Room 22 and they are Year 4's.   We are looking forward to doing lots of fun things with them this term.

Mufti Day at school!

Things in Room 9 are a bit different today.  We have mufti day which means we wear our own clothes instead of uniforms.   We all look so different in other clothes.  Even the Year 1 teachers are wearing different clothes today!

1. Try and post a sticky note on the link below (Snow Fun) telling us about what you have been doing - Hamish tried this out yesterday!  
2. Read your reading books in your folder.  
3. Try some Maths games or practise 5 + ? = 9 etc or Numbers before and after to 20.  
4. You could write about your snow creations - we can make a book when we get back to school!     Enjoy your day.  Mrs Allen
