Pikelets then Poppies

We had a real making day today.
We made pikelets for morning tea and then after that we made some poppies to wear to the ANZAC service at 2.30.
Here is a collage of some of us stirring, and all of us eating.

Here is the recipe.

Here are the poppies we made.

April 13

Welcome to Vayden, we are glad that you are here.
On Friday at Assembly we sang an alphabet song with Casey leading us, showing us the sign language for each one. Well done Casey, thanks for teaching us.
We made a brochure called 'The Best Lunch Box Ever'. This went home with all the children on Friday. Have a look at what we decided made a healthy lunch box.
This is the last week of term and we sadly farewell seven children. They are off to Room 6. So we say goodbye to: Max, Rhyce, Casey, Chloe, Jake, Imogen and Maddy. I am really sad to see you go but with the numbers growing in Room 5 we need to make room for new students. We have a number of new people next term.
I just found this cool iPad app. It is called Puppet Work Shop. I just made these puppets and saved the picture to my photos.

5 April

We welcomed Saskia this week.
We have been working hard on our writing and everyone has a new goal to work towards. It is exciting to see the progress the children are making, some are working towards writing two or three sentences.
It is lovely to see some of the children bringing some writing that they have done at home.

Here is a photo of a few of us at Book Box time.

Mrs Wishy Washy

This week we have been reading Mrs Wishy Washy Books by Joy Cowley. We have enjoyed all of them. We talked about the 'sequence' of events, the 'problem' in the story that Mrs Wishy Washy had, and who the characters are.

Here is us reading Mrs Wishy Washy.

Basketball Skills

We worked with Kirsty today. Here are a couple of photos of us learning bouncing skills and our winners of 'Rob the Nest'.

ASB Moneywise Visit

We had a visitor on Thursday to tell us all about money. It was pretty amazing what the children knew already.
One thing we learnt was that we should:

"Speed to our needs and wait for our wants!!"

Here we are answering lots of questions.

Harold

We had two wonderful visits with Harold and Shelley. Here we are with Harold.

Here is Shelley with Harold. Thanks you two!!
