Term 4 - Week 9

What an AWESOME week we have had in Room 16! On Monday we started the countdown to Christmas by putting up our Christmas Tree, which all the children are very excited about. We have lots of decorations but are planning to make even more for it next week. Here we are with the decorated tree:

On Wednesday we hopped on the bus and headed out to Rabbit Island. The weather was lovely and the children all had a great time. The tide was high when we first arrived so we spent some time in the picnic are playing lots of games. The parachute was a firm favourite.

After a quick bite to eat we headed for the beach. The children loved playing in the sand. Here are some of the things they did:

Isabelle buried herself.

Neve and Malachi played the Horseshoe Toss game.

Monique made a sand angel.

Hunter carrying out some serious construction.

Lots of children helped to build a sandcastle.

 The boys were amazed by the 'crunchy' sand.

 Here we all are going for a paddle. It was heaps of fun!

Then on Thursday we went for our first swim in the school pool. Although the water was chilly the day was hot so no one wanted to get out. We are looking forward to going swimming again next week so don't forget your togs.

Remember Sports Day on Tuesday. Hopefully we will see you all there.
