Puppetpals

Miss Hamlin worked with the class last week on our very first puppetpals presentation.
She decided to do this to present some of the fabulous writing the students have been doing.
Jonathan wrote an excellent retelling of 'The Three Little Pigs', so she used his story as the basis for the retelling and the rest of the class helped to illustrate and narrate it.
It's pretty impressive for a first attempt I reckon!
Thanks Miss Hamlin!

Friday's bakers

Thank you for the gorgeous aprons, Sharn!

They look so cute and they will keep the kid's uniforms so much cleaner.

Dance Group

Some of the kids are learning a dance during discovery time on Friday.  Here's the video for those who would like to practice at home!

Developing a Growth Mindset

We have been learning about "growth mindsets" in class this week.  People with a growth mindset believe that they can learn, change, and develop needed skills. They are better equipped to handle inevitable setbacks, and know that hard work can help them accomplish their goals.  We believe that these are important skills to teach our children to help them be successful, life long learners.
Above is a short video explaining the difference between a fixed mindset and a growth mindset.

Measurement

It was a hard day at the office today, working outside with all those beautiful deciduous trees glowing in the morning sun!

We are studying measurement in maths this term and we went outside on a scavenger hunt, looking for things of varying lengths.

It was pretty hard to drag ourselves back in to class!

Baking Anzac biscuits

Last term some of the students baked Anzac biscuits during discovery time.  They were delicous!
