We Have a Plan.....




A couple of weeks ago our class visited Pinegrove Kindergarten. We had so much fun playing on the pirate plank with the other children. Have a look at our previous post.
We have sent our principal Mr Pritchard some letters asking him if we can have a plank like that in our school playground.
We are hoping we could get one when we come back after the holidays.

Have you ever seen a lamb wearing a nappy??


Lilly from room 2 was kind enough to bring her little lamb in to see us today.
Her lamb was at school and inside for quite a bit of time, so it was wearing a nappy.....for obvious reasons.
We enjoyed having your lamb visit us Lilly. Thank-you.

Edwards Solar System

Today Edward and his mum brought in a solar system to show us all. Edward has this solar system hanging up in his bedroom. It even has a remote control. So Edward can lie in bed and turn it on, which makes all the planets move continually around the sun.
Wow it was amazing and Ed was able to tell us so much about the planets.
Well done Ed, this was very cool, we were all very impressed.
Thanks also to Jane (Ed's mum) for holding the solar system up for so long!
