Anzac Day

Today we learnt about carrier pigeons and the special job that they had as messengers in World War I and II. We found out about Cher Ami who was a brave carrier pigeon, he even won a medal! We decided to make our own carrier pigeons. We found it quite tricky to write notes on the tiny pieces of paper! Have a look at some of our work.

Time

WALT (We are learning to):

1. Tell the time to the hour and half an hour
2. Sequence events in the day
3. Determine if something takes a long or short time
4. Order the days of the week

We made a giant class clock and practiced making different times to the hour. It was fun! Here are some photos.

It would be great if we could practice telling the time at home. Try answering some of these questions:

- What time do you wake up on weekend mornings?
- What time do you eat lunch or dinner?
- What time do you go to sleep?
- What time do you feed your pets?
- What time does the sun go down?

- How long does it take you to get dressed?
- Walk, drive or bike to school?

CHANGES...

As part of our inquiry learning this term we are discovering changes that occur in our world. We have already brainstormed different things that we think of when we hear the word "change." Come and have a look at our inquiry board and read some of our ideas.

We are going to begin our discovery by looking at the different ways that we have changed since we were babies.

Please bring a baby photo to school this week :)

Happy Holidays!

We can hardly believe that term one has come to an end! We have had a wonderful time getting to know each other. We ended the term with a wacky hair fundraiser for autism and an Easter egg hunt.

We were very sad to say goodbye to Grace. She is going to America for 6 months! We are looking forward to hearing all about her stay when she returns in October. We will miss Grace, she is such a kind and thoughtful member of room 4.

We will be welcoming a new student to room 4 on the first day of term two. His name is Henry and some of you might remember him from Kindy. We can't wait to meet him!

Happy holidays everyone!
