Term 3 - Week 1

It sounds like everyone in Room 16 had a super holiday. Some children were even lucky enough to go away over the break. We welcomed two new students to Room 16 this week, Nykita and Neve. Here they are on their first day at school:

I am very proud of both Nykita and Neve who have settled into school so well it is like they have always been here. Also, a big shout out to the rest of Room 16 who have welcomed them and are looking after them at playtime and lunchtime.

This term our topic focus is science, so for the next few weeks we are going to be finding out about dinosaurs. The children already have some amazing knowledge and are enjoying researching answers to all their questions. We have got lots of dinosaur books and model dinosaurs in our classroom.

In maths we are continuing our number work. The children learnt how to play dominoes. They played really well together taking turns to match the dot patterns.

For sharing on Wednesday Alena brought along a very special letter from the Tooth Fairy. Over the holidays Alena lost her first tooth. She put it under her pillow for the Tooth Fairy who left her the letter and some money. Wasn't she lucky!

We finally got to have our outside discovery time that we has planned for at the end of last term. The children were very busy. Here Monique is digging in the sandpit trying to find dinosaurs.

 Alena and Lyla are working together to make the see-saw go up and down.

 Decklan and Mason made this amazing dinosaur skeleton.

Finally, our stars of the week were Ajay and Anna. Ajay has been working hard to learn all his Keyring Words and Anna is trying very hard with her writing. I forgot to take a photo of them with their certificates unfortunately. 

Have a great weekend everyone and I will see you all on Monday.
