Week 4 2018 - Celebrating the Olympics in PMP This week in PMP, the children had the opportunity to be an Olympic athlete by participating in the following events: Biathlon, Moon hopper Mogul,  Skeleton,  Ski Jump and  Speed skating.

Term 1 2018 - Week 3 Hi everyone, This week, the children have been looking closely under the leaves of our swan plants to check for little eggs.  One morning, they were very excited to find an egg hanging under one of the leaves.   Over the next few days the children will investigate any changes in the egg. One of our students kindly donated some caterpillars from home to put on the plants so they can start munching on the leaves.  The children have been busy making a variety of items during our investigation time this week.  Two of our students were very passionate about making their own musical instruments, so they made a drum set using tin cans and a microphone using cardboard and cellophane.   We had so much fun listening to their music and singing while trying to think of a band name! Another student chose to use tin cans another way, by making  tin can stilts.  He used his balancing skills to walk around the classroom and enjoyed sha

Term 1 2018 - Week 2 Hi everyone, This term, the children have been enjoying our PMP (Perceptual Motor Programme) sessions on Friday mornings, where they have been developing their movement and perceptions using a variety of equipment and activities.  The children have to listen carefully to instructions before they start each activity. We have also been enjoying getting outside and playing with the sports equipment, while the weather is still warm and sunny.  Check out the photos below to see the amazing hoop skills by two of our students. Take care Karen & Sarah PMP Sessions Friday Sports

Term 1 2018 Welcome to Room 12 everyone! We have had a wonderful week getting to know each other and  making new friends. The children have been busy writing holiday stories, practising  handwriting, reading from their book boxes, creating learning maps, and learning about swan plants and caterpillars.    In Rainbow Hui today we presented our new class song,  Waddely Archer, complete with actions that integrate left brain right brain.  It would be great if your child could teach you the song and actions. Investigation time has shown us that we have some very talented children in our class, with lots of creative ideas and problem solving skills.   It has been lovely to listen in on the children's learning conversations with each other.  It is already apparent that we have lots of passionate learners. We look forward to an exciting year ahead with lots of learning opportunities and experiences. It was lovely to meet so many of you this week. H
