Star Dome

Today we went to a Star Dome, we got to sit inside it on mats and we saw stars, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, the sun and the moon. 

We even got to see the star dome go into night time and then the sun came up and the stars went away.

We saw the Earth and what it looks like at night time and day time. At night time we could see the lights in some counties.

We had so much fun and the lady said we were good listeners and we were super quiet.

Milk in Schools

Last week we started 'Milk in Schools' every child from year 0-6 i n our school has the opportunity to have a carton of milk if they like. We have been having milk for nearly a week. 

We get the milk after lunch and we listen to story while we drink. Then we have to fold the carton up in a certain way for recycling, it's a bit like origami, but we are getting pretty good at it. Then we can recycle it.

We get milk everyday! It is tasty and exciting. 

Rocketships

Last week was the letter "Rr" so we made rocket ships. we have also been learning about the sun and our solar system so it was a nice time to talk about rocket ships going to space. 

The children had to plan what their rocket ship was going to look like, then they had to find the boxes they were going to use. They then had to craft it together and decorate it. It took a long time to dry, in fact some are still drying at school. 

Here are the wonderful creations.

Welcome

A big welcome to Freddie who started school today. Freddie has been popping in and out of Room One for little visits for over a year now so it is delightful to have him as a big 5 year old starting school. 

We welcome you and your family and we wish you many happy school days Freddie.

Welcome

A big welcome to Ally who started school today. Ally has been super excited about starting school and today she even read her first book! What a clever girl.

We wish you many happy school days Ally.
