Wishing everyone a Very Merry Christmas!

Class of 2016, what a neat bunch of little people you are. Full of stories, dreams and good thoughts! 

I wish you a very happy holiday with lots of hut building, mud and water play, drawing and painting, baking cookies and making things! 

Merry Christmas!

Summery Christmas concert

Summery Christmas concert by the Winter Family. 

Katrina's mum and two of her brothers performed a range of Christmas songs in Room 1. What a treat! Thank you!

Santa and his Elves

Today the brief was to make a Santa or Elf out of a paper bag. On the back of the Puppet needed to go a brief description of the job Santa or his Elf were currently on. The story needed to have a title as well!

The making...

 

and...we're finished!

Our Christmas work..

Some children were on a challenge to make Santa's sleigh!

We solved some maths problems and played a Christmas game...

 

We made Christmas cards for our parents...

 

First and last...

Today was a bit like our first school day this year. We visited all the classes and asked them what they were learning.

 We visited Mrs Stegen who was very busy with tidying up the library.

 

 And we saw Mr Hunt who was very busy in his office. He had very tired eyes!

 We visited Mrs Hoskin who is the boss in the office...

Merry Christmas to everyone!

We have grown...!

Here we are...late January 2016!

...and today, December 2016!

We have grown in size and quantity!

Wild things...

Today we studied "Wild Things" by Maurice Sendak.

We wrote a poem and drew ourselves as Wild Things.
