Swimming Assessment Day

Today was our assessment day and everyone has improved. It was hard swimming up and down and we all got tired. Afterwards all the groups got to play games in the water.

Ipad Day

We all love i pad day in our class. At the moment we are using them for maths basic fact practice. Working with a buddy helps us to learn to share the i pad and our ideas. 

2 heads are better than one !

William loves the i pad too and has surprised us at how clever and quick he is with his fingers . Go William.

Our Swan Plant

We have a swan plant in our class. On the plant is a very hungry monarch caterpillar. If you look carefully you can see eggs ready to hatch and a couple of tiny caterpillars. Everyone loves looking through the magnifying glass to get a better look. We all love looking at our plant. Thank you Mrs Ryan

Our Book Study

We have started our year with Charlotte's Web as our shared novel. These are our box fold outs and show who we think are the main characters of the story. We think they look really good on display.

Our first Week Back!

We have had a busy week despite the rain on Tuesday. We have been swimming, working on some ruler art, enjoying the ipads and learning to be in the classroom again after our long holiday break.

Our New Class

And wait there's more ...

School's Back

Welcome back to Term 1 2013

Welcome to our new school year.
After a lovely long holiday it is time to start a new learning journey in Room 8 in 2013.
We have wonderful students  in Room 8 this year.
Come back and see us often. We love messages. So please take the time to leave one..

We are starting the year with a small study on Butterflies. Have you seen all our caterpillars and pupas? Over the past few days we have see beautiful monarch butterflies floating over the Year 3 and 4 garden. Check it out on Monday morning if you haven't seen it. The garden is slowly disappearing because of the hungry caterpillars!
