Diwali

Jayan wore an amazing Traditional costume to school as part of our school wide Diwali celebration. He looked very smart and the costume was very special with gold and red colours and the style, fabric and design was absolutely beautiful.

Keeping our Houses warm and Dry.

As part of our Inquiry at the end of last term we designed a room that had features that helped keep our house warm and dry. The dioramas looked amazing with so much detailed included.

Eventful week - Part 2

As part of the ASB Getwise program Captain Cash visited our room to talk about the difference between Wants and Needs and the importance of Save some, Spend some and Share some of our money. He kindly left us a wristband each. He was so funny and had a memorable message.

 The Father's Day breakfast was special and looked yummy! A big thanks to the PTA!

It was Daffodil Day also today, here are all the coins and notes we collected. Thank-you for your generosity.

Stretching Sentences

For Story Writing last week Mrs Dijkstra gave as a long strip of card and half a page of stickers. We wrote a sticker story by firstly thinking of an animal and then described it using two adjectives. Next we told what it did, where, when and why. The purpose was to write an interesting story by adding in and adding on, more detail. We not only stretched our sentence, we also stretched our brain to think and elaborate on our original idea. 

Pirate Hats with our Buddies

Room 24 enjoyed another paper folding activity that was made into a Pirate Hat finished off with a skull and crossbones. Great team work Room 24 and Room19!

Chinese New Year

To celebrate the start of Chinese New Year some children in Room 24 wore Traditional costumes and looked gorgeous!

Mrs Dijkstra showed us a video on on You Tube  from Fortune Tales that explained a number of traditions that take place during Chinese New Year.

We also made a red envelope and an origami Dog. Daisy very kindly gave some children an envelope to take home. It was a fun day!
