Dance Cart Concert

Last Thursday was our dance cart concert. We had a lot of fun dancing to 'Dig a Little Deeper' from the movie The Princess and the Frog. Our teacher thought we looked awesome in our costumes!

Science

In science, we have been looking at the properties of different materials. Last week we made some boats by combining natural materials. We tested them in some water and they all floated.

Art Project

Our inspiration for our last art project came from the book Katie Meets the Impressionists by James Mayhew. It was about famous impressionist painters like Monet, Renoir and Van Gogh. We looked at Van Gogh's painting 'Field of Poppies' and then tried to recreate it using small brush strokes with quite thick paint.
We found out that the impressionists painted most of their paintings outdoors. They painted natural things like trees, fields and oceans.
Do you have a favourite impressionist artist?

Fish and Chip Friday

Today was fish and chip day at our school. We are raising money for Project Compassion. Our class goal is $140, this would be enough money to provide 2 goats to a family in South Sudan.

Shrove Tuesday

This week we celebrated Shrove Tuesday.  Our school had pancake races on the oval. Riley was the 2J champion! We had lots of fun.

Grandparents' Day

Today we celebrated Grandparents' Day at our school. First of all our grandparents visited our classroom. We showed them our technology museum; they remembered a lot of the items from when they were little. After that we interviewed them and asked them about life when they were at school. We learnt a lot from them. Finally we went to the hall for a liturgy. Some of our grandparents were unable to attend but we said a prayer for them as well.
Our teacher took some photos of us with our grandmothers and grandfathers.
