Exciting Times!

Term four is well underway! This term the students have been learning about threatened, endangered and extinct animals.  They have created a beautiful picture each and have begun some research in class on their chosen endangered animal. 





Through the Life Education Program the students have discovered how to be healthy, safe and look after themselves.    


They enjoyed a range of activities including choosing which foods were healthy and which were not and discussing why.   



They learnt that if a medicine bottle clicks it means ‘Stop, Danger’ and not to open it. They also learnt about things that protect us like bike helmets and hats.  





 The students were taught about different parts of the body including the heart, the lungs and the brain!





Prep B explored different types of feelings and enjoyed patting Harold the giraffe! 





Last week students had the opportunity to make some Lego Models with Mr Blamey which they thoroughly enjoyed!  This included a paper-crimping machine.  The students had lots of fun crimping paper!

Footy Week
Footy week was lots of fun! Prep B made a picture graph showing how many students went for each team, they did some footy maths problem solving and made up their own footy teams in pairs including a team name, team colours, team jumper, team mascot and a team chant or song.  The students came up with some creative ideas.  

On Friday it was great to see so many parents come in for the open morning and help their children make footy flags.  The students also all participated in the footy parade, liked playing the range of footy sports in group rotations and many students enjoyed a footy lunch.  




















At the end of term 3 we also said farewell to Haoming who has moved schools.  He has been a fantastic member of Prep B! We will miss him but wish him all the best.

Springtime Spectacular!


The students had a wonderful time preparing for and performing in the Springtime Spectacular!  They sang three group songs ‘Another Opening Another Show’, ‘It Could Be A Wonderful World’ and ‘Put On a Happy Face’.  Their class song was ‘Three Little Fishies’.  It was great to see the students’ enthusiasm and it was fantastic to see so many parents there supporting the students.
