All students came back to school on Monday happy and excited to tell their friends what they had got up to over the school holidays. Thank you to all those parents who helped their children with their holiday diaries. They turned out amazing and the children were so proud of them!
Students sharing their holiday stories with each other.
On Monday Mr Butterworth got us excited about our new science topic with some chemical explosions on the field using coke and mentos. We have been talking in class about what a Scientist is and what kind of Scientist we might like to be. Lots of great questions are being asked in the classroom already around this topic.
On Wednesday we started Discovery Time with Room 1. Will be be doing this every Wednesday to encourage the 'lighting the fire rather than filling the vessel' philosophy that Discovery Time provides. The children love this time in the classroom and it encourages them to discover and learn themselves by providing hands on activities. Thank you to Talei's Mum - Rachel who is providing parent help at this time. You're amazing!
It was Room 2's turn to share something at assembly this week and because of how proud the students were of their holiday diaries we decided to share these. I was so proud of everyone standing up in front of the school and reading from their diaries.
Well done to Shakana Brooks who was this weeks class star!
