Happy Diwali!

I hope that all the families of Rm. 13 had a joyous and safe Diwali. A special thank you also to all the families for the gifted food and sweets - such a delicious treat!

Buddy Reading with Rm. 2

The sun was shining on Monday of week 3 so Rm. 13 and Rm. 1 decided to soak up some rays during our buddy class reading time. It was wonderful to see such enthusiasm for reading and all the children joining in to share their books. Check out these superstar readers!

Thanks for stopping by!

Class Trip

In the first week of term four Rm. 13 had our class trip to the Botanical Gardens. We had a wonderful time exploring the gardens and learning about the native plants and forest ecosystem. Thank you again to our parent helpers Rowan and Tammy, and to Mrs. Martin for coming along to help - we couldn't have done it without you! Check our our photos below...

 The Potter's Children's Garden was one of our favourite sections!

 We found eels, tadpoles and ducks in the lake.

 Here we sharing our knowledge about the forest before heading in for our bush walk.

 Looking at the forest life cycle and ecosystem - what might we see in the forest?

We walked with mirrors held to our noses in order to see the tree canopy above. Our buddies guided us safely down the path.

 Here we are learning about the FBI (fungi,  bacteria and insects) that break down leaves.

 Fallen trees allow sun to reach lower-lying plants.

We organised the leaves we found to show the evolution from healthy to dead during the FBI process.
