National Sea Week



Room 1 children have been having lots of fun this week. They have been learning about different sea creatures and having fun and games with a large fishing net! The children enjoyed sorting and ordering a huge collection of shells, seaweed, smooth glass and rocks found of various beaches. We even had a piece of bone in our collection. The children were quick to spot that this did not fit into any of our categories! Yesterday we made sea creature masks and learnt some new 'Under The Sea' songs. We are really looking forward to our walk to Eastern Beach.

Room 7 sharing time...

We are a class of Year 1 students and half of us have only been at school for a month. We have been focusing on listening to others, including others, helping others and sharing. We are pleased to report that we are pretty good at it.
We enjoy circle time which is when we share ideas, thoughts and information with others.
We have a plastic wand or a big plastic spider and you are only allowed to talk if you are holding it. We listen carefully to each other, then we ask questions, give compliments or suggestions. We have a special sharing circle every Friday and general news time every day.

Splish Splash Day 2009

We had extra splishing and splashing in the rain as well as in the pool.
On Tuesday the 24th of February, 2009, the junior school had their swimming day.
The children enjoyed demonstrating their water skills both in the pool and out, as they participated in a range of fun activities.
We hope you enjoy our photos.
