Merry Christmas


We have had a busy few weeks and it is hard to believe the year has come to an end. In class we have been enjoying creating different Christmas art works and participating in various Christmas activities.


Among many things over the last month we:

* sold all our herbs at family fun night



*nurtured and cared for grass heads and our special rocket seedlings


*attended prize giving where some of us did a special dance

Wishing you all a safe and happy Christmas, please drop by and say hi to me next year. I will  miss my Room 3 kiddies over the break :)

Recycling and reusing

We have been talking about how important it is to recycle and reuse things. Today we made special wind 'chimes' to hang in our gardens, we used old bottle tops, containers, buttons and beads. Threading these items onto nylon was helping us to develop our fine motor skills and our pincer grip.
hanging them in the garden will hopefully keep birds away from any growing seedlings.

Our Assembly

On Friday it was our class assembly and the children were all FANTASTIC!

I was so very proud of everyone :)

It was very exciting dressing up and dancing to Hey baby lets rock and roll, talking on the microphone, choosing the songs and being in charge of the whole assembly.

A big thanks to Mrs Purdie who helped us with our dance.

Measurement



Today we talked about measurement and about measuring how tall we all were. We carefully stood next to each other and decided who was the tallest/shortest.

Then we lined up in height order.




Look who was the tallest, shortest and right in the middle.

Planting has begun

Last week we planted up our herb garden using recycled materials. As we watch our seeds grow we will be learning about the plant life cycle and how to take care of plants.

Once our herbs are all grown we will be selling them at the upcoming Family Fun night.
