A Merry Christmas to everyone who visits our Room 1 blog! We all made these collage cards to give to someone special to wish them a very merry Christmas!
Have a wonderful holiday and remember to SLIP, SLOP, SLAP and WRAP! Keep safe and I will see you all back at school on the 7th February 2012.
I am also looking forward to teaching my new class of Year 1's in Room 1 next year!
Today Vanessa and her team of coaches from Kelly Sports showed us how to play basketball, hockey, soccer, tee ball, non stop cricket and scatter ball. We were divided into 12 teams and had fun playing each game from the start of school right up until lunch time . It was lots of fun!
Miss Ingram who teaches next door to us in Room 2 is leaving to have a baby soon. Emma's mum Sarah made this beautiful cake for her! Room 1 all wish Miss Ingram best wishes for the future and look forward to her visiting with her new baby after the holidays.
Florrie's mum Liz brought their new Labradoodle puppy Olive for a visit to school yesterday.We put out lots of paper just in case! She was very well behaved and we admired her lovely woolly coat. She was so lovely and soft!
At jump jam this morning everyone was dressed in Christmas colours ready for our Year 1 & 2 concert and afternoon tea this afternoon! We are all looking forward to it!
Today we held the Junior Athletic Sports on the school field. Room 1 enjoyed having the year 1 students from Room 4 join us for the morning.The sports were a great success and my thanks go to all the wonderful parents from Rooms 1 and 4 who helped with organising, scoring and taking photographs.Congratulations to Joe, Ben, Daniel and Harry who won the Year 1 Boys Relay and to Sarah, Harriet, Ruby and Poppy who won the Year 1 Girls Relay!
On Thursday we walked down to Rona Bay beach with our buckets and spades. Tom, Daniel, Blaine and Lachlan collected lots of driftwood and everyone helped to build a massive castle with a moat and bridges around it. It was a hot sunny day and our UVbracelets turned bright colours and reminded us that the ultraviolet radiation level was high! We stopped building to rub in extra sunscreen!
On Wednesday we enjoyed a great day at Avalon Park! We wore our UV bracelets and covered up with hats and sunscreen! Our bracelet colours were so bright we could see the UV level was high!
This week we are enjoying lots of activities outside the classroom! On Tuesday we made our Ultra Violet light sensitive bead bracelets to wear during the week. These opaque beads contain a chemical which changes colour when exposed to UV radiation. Take them away from the UV radiation and they change back to their opaque colour. These beads can change colour over and over again. Inside the classroom they are pale. Outside they react according to the intensity of the sunlight. A good reminder to protect ourselves from the sun even on cloudy days!
