Butterfly Writing by Perseus

Today, we were very lucky to have Mrs. Maude bring a monarch butterfly into class. We have been looking at the lifecycle of a caterpillar so it was great to be able to see a real butterfly. Perseus wrote a beautiful story in her new writing book and drew a lovely colourful butterfly. Great work today, Perseus!

SNAG Golf!

Today, we had our first session at SNAG (starting new at golf) golf! We learnt how to do an underarm roll and started practising how to hit the ball with the roller (golf club). It was great to see everyone getting involved and trying their absolute best to learn the new skills!

Look how much we have grown!

We began with 4 beautiful children on the first day and now we have a full house! Welcome to all our lovely new friends; you have all settled in so well and lots of great learning has already happened in the first few days. Well done to all the children who kept reading, writing and counting over the holidays, it was great to hear that you kept this up - Kapai!

as i see it!

Art, art and more art!! Term 2 is all about art...oh and of course our other learning areas too!
Team 1 is going to do a series of artistic designs set around their favourite things at school. At the end of term all our art will be displayed in an art display at PES.

To kick start our term Team 1 teachers put together a movie to inspire the students to think about their  own favourite things.

Getting creative in writing!

Today, Room 19 wrote about a screenshot from the cartoon Tom and Jerry. We discussed what we thought may be happening in the picture and then created a word plan. The children came up with many creative ideas and we are now working on putting these into sentences for our stories. Here is Jennifer's work from writing today - a great effort!

Tent City

'We went out to see the big red tents on the green grassy field'... and we can't wait until we are old enough to sleep-out too at our school camp!!

Gentle Cuddles!

Today, Room 19 had an important mission at Pt England Kindy. We had to go and make sure the 'cute baby chicks' had those 'soft yellow feathers' we had been talking and writing about! Mission Accomplished!! Thank You so much Pt England Kindy for having us!!
