Wattle Day
On Friday, September 1st, we celebrated Wattle Day. Wattle Day celebrates Australia’s qualities of good humour, fairness, generosity, informality and democracy. We made special Wattle Day flags and wrote a card for our family or friends.
Book Week
In
Week 7, we had a great time celebrating Book Week. We talked a lot about
characterisation and the students completed a character profile of their
favourite book character, identifying physical and personality traits. They
then gave a short oral presentation to their classmates.
On
Friday, we met with our Kindy buddies to share some of our favourite stories
before showing off our FABULOUS costumes in the parade. Thanks to all the
parents for your wonderful, creative costuming! It really did make the day so
special.
Happy Fathers' Day
‘Happy
Fathers’ Day’ to all the Room 23 dads. I hope you had a great day and enjoyed
your special gifts.
Cross Country
On
Friday, August 18, some of the students from Room 23 participated in the Cross
Country event. It was a long distance race and those who participated are
commended for their commitment and perseverance.

Poetry Spot
In
VCOP sessions this term, we have been learning different styles of poetry. We
wrote some fabulous cinquain poems about sunflowers. A cinquain poem includes a
noun, verbs and adjectives.
Our
topic was ‘Sunflowers’. We looked at lots of images of sunflowers and
brainstormed words that captured their beauty and how they made us feel. This
week’s Writer of the Week was Joan. We loved the way she used personification!
Sunflowers
Beautiful,
Divine
Blooming,
Dancing, Swinging
Dancing
in the wind.

All
our beautiful poems and wax crayon drawings are on display in our classroom.
Healthy Lifestyles
This
term, we have been investigating what makes a healthy, balanced lifestyle. One
of the components is a healthy diet. We
looked at the Australian Government’s Guide to healthy eating. Our plate should
be filled with lots of vegetables and high fibre foods. Treats are ok sometimes
and, in small amounts. We cut out pictures from food catalogues and created out
own healthy eating plates.
Of
course, there is more to a balanced lifestyle than just a healthy diet. Some of
the other ideas we brainstormed in our teams were:
-
Having
fresh air to breathe
-
Drinking lots of water
-
Accessing
first aid
-
Exercise
-
Having
friends and trusted adults to share with
-
Having
a bath/shower regularly
-
Looking
after our teeth.

Fabulous Forces
This semester, we are learning about Physical
Sciences. To celebrate Science Week, we joined 'forces' with Miss Ahern’s class to do some investigating; gravity, friction, buoyancy and magnetism. I wonder
if you can find examples of these forces around the house?
