I have put a link from our blog page to the Starfall website. If you click on this link you will be able to help your child with phonics and number practice at home.
At the end of last week the children learned to take photographs using our class digital camera. We took photographs of things we noticed in our playground - and some even took photos of other children taking photos!
On Friday, everyone took home a pair of hand knitted slippers. These were kindly knitted by an elderly lady from our Sacred Heart Parish. The children were able to choose the colour they liked the best. Every child has also been given a warm winter hat to wear in the playground to keep their heads and ears warm.
On these cold mornings we have also been learning some new warming up exercises. This has created lots of laughter, with Hey Baby, Lets Rock and Roll being the class favourite.
Our Kitchen Chemistry unit is continuing to create interest. Today we made butter by shaking cream in a jar until all the butter fat clumped together. We drained off the water and spread the butter on to crackers. We really enjoyed our snack. Mrs Gibson and Mrs Sleeman thought it was the best butter -EVER! On Friday we will share our butter with children in Room 2. They will be making bread for us and we will make butter for them. We will eat our bread and butter together!
Tomorrow is Syndicate sports so please remember to bring a change of shoes and sports clothes to school. Also a reminder that the school sports shorts are still available from the School Office at a well discounted price.
