Eric Carle Art Workshop

The Junior Syndicate had a trip to the Nelson Library to meet with Esther, the Suter Art Educator. First we heard about Eric Carle and his art. He was the one that wrote and illustrated "The Hungry Caterpillar" and likes to use collage and bright colours for his animal pictures, like purple foxes, blue horses and brightly coloured spotted donkeys.
All children were able to choose and decorate 4 pieces of tissue paper to use for their own collage animal pictures. It was a fun experience enjoyed by all.
Thank you to the kind parents who provided transport and helped with groups on the day.
The children's work is on display in the hall.

Fun and Learning with our Room 10 Buddies

Once a week we meet with our Senior Buddies. We have been doing some Buddy Reading and also Sign Language. One day our buddies taught us how to sign our names using the sign language alphabet. We went outside on a sunny day and found some comfy places to learn!

Kaden's New Pet

Kaden met up with a very friendly praying mantis who decided that walking on his head was a friendly thing to do!

Aboriginal Performer

At the end of March we had such a treat with an Aborigine from Australia performing for us. He sang, danced energetically, told stories, played the didgereedoo (?) and even made fire by rubbing sticks together. Here are some photos of the inspiring performance.

Fun at the Tabloid Sports Day

At the end of the term the teachers got together with senior students and planned some activities for Tabloid Sports. There were all sorts of interesting obstacle courses using nets, cones, balls, balancing.... you name it! A big thank you to the seniors who did such a wonderful job of setting up the gear and supervising the activities.
We were lucky to have a warm fine day and here are some photos.
