Buzzing Bees in Room 5.

Last Friday we were lucky enough to have Christine - an apiarist, come and talk to Room 5 and 6 about bees. We have started our unit on bees and were very excited to learn more interesting facts.

Christine brought in some frames from a beehive to look at, and the best part was, these frames had honey! We were allowed to take turns and poke our finger into the comb and taste the honey! Did you know that the girl bees do all the work? And in winter , the boy bees get kicked out of the hive?

We can't wait to learn more about bees and how they work, stay tuned to learn more fun bee facts!

Check out the photos below of our visit from Christine.

Room 5 performs at assembly.

Last Friday it was our turn to present an assembly item. We have been practicing a dance from our Go Noodle website.It was great to see some of the parents from Room 5 at the assembly. Here is a video of our performance in case you missed it.

Happy Mothers Day to the mums of Room 5.

Room 5 has been working on a secret present for their mums. We all wrote what we loved about our mum and then drew a picture of us with our mum and stuck it on the back. 

We also included a picture of us blowing a kiss to our mums for mothers day.

We hope you all enjoyed the present and had a relaxing day yesterday.

Go Noodle in Room 5!

We have found a great website called Go Noodle! We use this when we need to get moving, get rid of our wriggles and for times when we need to calm down and focus.
You can sign up for a free account at home, or you can use the one we have started for Room 5. Each time you complete an activity, your little friend (ours is called Mc Pufferson) grows a little bigger.
Have a look at www.gonoodle.com.

Junior Syndicate Wetlands Walk

Yesterday Rooms 5,6,7 and 8 were lucky enough to go on a walk around the wetlands. This was a part of our unit that we are currently working on, and something that the syndicate tries to do each year.

The students had a great time looking at all of the different colours on the trees and plants , and were lucky enough to even spot some bird life along the way.

Room 5 is currently working on an Autumn unit in class. We are looking at which trees loose their leaves and the lovely colours that we see at this time of year.

Here are some of the photos taken on our walk yesterday. The students loved getting out and about in our area and for some it was a first time. We are very lucky to have such a great resource on our back door step.
