Field Trip to Apple Store

Sovereign Hill Movie

Dressing Up

Camp

Sovereign Hill

We had a great first day. Enjoyed the gold pour, finding out what life was like in the past and then dined in fine style before heading to the light and sound show. Children getting to sleep now!

Heigh ho heigh ho! It's off to camp we go!!!

26 excited children and an extremely excited teacher are looking forward to learning about Australian History onCamp this week. We have been busily preparing for Naplan next week by looking at tests from previous years, having a go and talking about our thinking. We have been invited on a Field Trip to the Apple Store at Doncaster but the cost of the bus is a lot. Looking at maybe going in 6 parent cars or by public bus. Last year I was only able to take 8 children for similar reasons. Apologies to parents for Assembly on Friday. I should have read the newsletter!!! I did late Thursday night and saw that we were having a 3-6 Assembly. Hope you enjoyed the dancing and got some great photos.

Camp next week!!!

We are all excited about going on camp next week!

What a week!

Our class did a great job on bins and we are having a free dress day on Thursday! Ride2school day was awesome! 22 children from 34b travelled to school not by car. We froze and got drenched at the district aths on Wednesday. Thanks to Estee for the towels,blankets, clothes and latte, all appreciated.

Apologies to children and parents!

I'm so sorry I forgot to hand out our home pouches yesterday. They are still in the tub.
We had a busy day and I was so excited about our story writing!
Good luck to those going to the Aths, enjoy the time in different classes and don't forget school photos on Thursday and Ride2school day Friday. I'll make sure the pouches go in school bags this morning

What a week!!!

We thoroughly enjoyed learning more about our VIP and thought his cooking was delicious! We had 2 birthdays this week. The children presenting their 'Symbols of Me' are to be congratulated on their presentations, WELL DONE! Camp notices went home on Thursday.

Second try! This weeks 'a' sound spelling words

Without my typo!!!! Tonight's task is to write out your words and underline the 'a' sound, be careful, it's not the letter but the sound! Wednesday night's task is to write half of your word list into sentences that show you understand their meaning. Thursday night's task is to do the same with the second half of your list and revisit the spelling of all words.

If you or your parents have an ipod/ipad/iphone and you have permission, please consider downloading an app called 'My Spelling Test:Free.'
We are looking forward to the House Athletics tomorrow. Have a great week.

We had a great week!

This week 3/4B have been revising place value. We used cards and dice to make the largest and smallest numbers possible. We have been learning more about each other and how we learn. We have been reading Monsieur Cadichon, which is a very old novel translated from french. We have been exploring photobooth and iMovie on the iMac which has been placed in our room.

I made a movie!

During the holidays I not only read many books I had an outing to the Apple Store at Doncaster and spent a session working on iMovie with Miss Kelly. We both had fun and learnt some new skills. Please enjoy my 3rd movie!

Great start to the year!

I have got to say that the children in 3/4 B are impressing me with their manners, their helpfulness to others and myself, their willingness to have a go and also have a laugh! Looking forward to learning more about you all! Well done on a great start to the year.

A new blog for this year!

Welcome to 2012! Welcome to 34B!
