Fancy Feet Day

On Friday, we had so many amazing fancy feet in Room 19. 

We paraded our feet in the morning and 

Muhammad-Rayyaan, Sophie, and Fletcher were chosen as finalists by Ms Prasad.

Here are picture of our cool feet.

In the afternoon we had a special assembly where we launched our school as a Travel wise School.

Tree Climbing!!!

Wow, we had such fun today climbing the trees, we were so brave and we had great balance.
 

 

Moving our bodies

Today we went to the hall to do a variety of Gross Motor activities to develop co- ordination and other skills to help develop pathways in our brains.

Rachel showed us the activities and then we started moving- we had such fun.

Here are a few photos of what we did.

 

 

Diwali

 

Today we read a book about Diwali and we learnt about the festival.

Later, we asked Yash and Dev to come and tell us what they did for Diwali.

Yash enjoyed the fireworks and how they exploded into the air.
Dev loved the pillow he received as a present.

Bee Hive Live

Here is the portable Beehive that Oliver McCurdy brought in, which shows the bees busy cleaning the hive and moving pieces about the hive. In the background you can hear Miss Watson and I talking about the hive!!

Welcome to Room 19s Blog

What a fantastic start we have all had to Term 4.

Our topic this term is 'Bee Power" and to kick off our wonderful topic we had a fun day, where we learnt about bees all day!!
During this day we even had honey on toast, which we all thought was really YUM!!!!

Here's some pictures of some us enjoying our toast.

During Week 2 we had a visit with a beekeeper, Oliver McCurdy.

He talked to us about his bees and even brought around 50,000 bees in, so we could see how busy bees really are!!! He showed us his smoker, which he uses to calm the bees when he needs to go into the hive. He also brought in big chunks of beeswax, which he saves after scraping off the frames when he retrieves the honey.
Oliver was wearing his protective gear and he put up his hood to show how he protects his face from the bees.
