Last Thursday Room 1 enjoyed singing in the year 1 & 2 Christmas concert!
A big thank you to all the parents who supported us by coming to watch and by providing such a yummy afternoon tea to share afterwards!
It has been a great year in Room 1 and I all have enjoyed teaching you all!
I wish you all a Merry Christmas and a safe and happy holiday!
After the Muritai School carnival the carnival committee donated lots of plants and seedlings for our school gardens! We now have colourful livingston daisies to attract monarch butterflies to our butterfly garden, succulents in the dry areas and herbs and vegetables growing in the vegetable gardens.
Thank you to the keen gardening team from year 3 & 4 who gave up their lunchtime to plant and then help the year 1 & 2 students plant and water their seedlings too.
Thank you too to the Muritai School carnival committee!
Today Eastbourne scientist Stan Swan visited Room 1 to help us solve the problem of not having enough swan plants in Eastbourne to feed all the caterpillars we are rearing in our school butterfly garden and for the Monarch butterflies to lay their eggs on!
He bought us little peat pots and lots of swan plant seeds to plant and take home for our own Eastbourne gardens. The pots swelled up like magic when we added water! We poked a seed into each one with our finger.
Monarch caterpillars only eat swan plants! Monarch butterflies only lay their eggs on swan plants too! We need to grow lots and lots of swan plants so the caterpillars will have enough food to grow and pupate into healthy butterflies!
We want to enjoy seeing lots of Monarchs in Eastbourne this summer!
Thank you Mr. Swan!
Room 1 students have been very kind and helpful to the very new entrant children in Room 16!
Here we are at the beach with Room 16 & Miss Savage during EOTC week.
Thank you Room 1 for being super helpers!
Today we had an exciting morning at Junglerama!
Everyone in the Junior School shared the equipment and played sensibly together.
Well done everyone!
