Why do we need bees?

Over the weekend look out for bees around your garden, perhaps you can keep a tally of how many you see.  Also look at the different types of flowers around your home, can you spot the anther and the stigma ?  Can you see some pollen on the anthers?

Bee Paradise!

This sort of art work is called scratch art.  To do this we firstly completely coloured in the card using pastels, thinking carefully about where our garden and bees would go.  Secondly we painted it all black.  After it was dry we used a tooth pick to scratch out our beautiful garden and bees.  We had to be very careful when we were scratching off the black paint!

Our Bee Garden is finished and we are all very proud of our effort.  Well done Rooms 25 and 26.

Thank you to everybody for making the effort to sell Disaster Plasters.  An especially big shout out goes to Charlie for selling more than 3 whole boxes!  He came second equal in the whole school. Sophie  was the second highest seller in our class - Well done Sophie, what a great effort.

Charlie was given a Westfield Gift Voucher at assembly for his outstanding effort.  I wonder what he will buy?  Congratulations Charlie!

Grandparents Day

My Grandpa

Grandpa is my pal
He's kind and he's funny
When he's around
the world seems very sunny.

My Grandma

Baking scones
and rocking chairs,
sparkling eyes
and silver hair.
Warmest smiles
and loving arms,
these special thing
are my Grandma's charms.

Thank you to all the grandparents, parents, aunties, uncles and other special people who came to our Grandparents Day.  You made our day very special.

Last week we celebrated 100 days of school.  We did lots of learning about the 100.  Thank you to eveybody who  contributed food for our amazing shared lunch.  There were some very creative ideas.

How many groups of 10 has Haelyn made?

We made paper chains with 10 links.  !0 groups of 10 makes 100!

  4 groups of 100 plus 6 groups of 10 plus 3 ones = 463

Nate, Michael and Deacon made 50 groups of 2.  50 groups of 2 = 100

Deacon's pikelets had 100 on them.  Now how did he do that?

Yummy healthy food in groups of 10 (some have been eaten).

 100 children in a very long line.

Big smiles and very full tummies!
