Grandparent's Afternoon

This afternoon Year 1 & 2 hosted our Grandparents for a Grandparent's afternoon.
We have all been learning about our families and how life has changed since our parents and grandparents were our age. Lots of grandparents came and they brought special things from their childhood to show and talk about.
First we sang some songs in the hall.
Then we took our grandparents to our classrooms and showed them our super quality work!

After that Johnny's Grandad John Notman showed us some of his collection of cigarette cards. He covered his books with brown paper! Here he is with the Grab Bag Johnny made about his history.
 
 Lulu had Nana Elaine and Grandpa Chris Booker to visit.They brought some old fashioned glass milk bottles and an old camera for us to look at.
 Emily's grandparents in China live too far away to visit so Emily's mum sent us some photos. Here is her Grandad.
 Here are her mum, her Grandma and her Great Grandma.
We love your photos Emily, and hope that your grandparents see them on our blog!
We finished Grandparent's afternoon with a delicious afternoon tea! 
Thank you to all the grandparents and the mums and dads who helped make it such a special day!

Lulu's First Day of School

What a busy day for Lulu on her first day in Room 1!


We had our preschool visitors, it was whacky hair day and we hunted for Easter eggs! 
Lulu liked making her Easter egg and chick best of all.
You are so clever at drawing and cutting out Lulu! Well done! 



Lulu also enjoyed reading books, writing a story and making patterns with the maths equipment.

Clever girl Lulu, we love having you in Room 1

Today was Whacky Hair Day, with a gold coin donation for Kids Can.Thank you to everyone who came with whacky hair! You all look great Room 1 and  visiting preschoolers!

Johnny's First Day of School

Today Johnny had his first day at school in Room 1. 

All his Kindy friends in Room 3 were so pleased to see him!
Best of all he liked making maths shapes with the magnetics set and playing with his big brother George, Hugh, Oscar and Monty.
 You are so clever at making things Johnny!

What a super start at reading and writing too!




Welcome to Room 1!

There are no children in Room 1 yet so in the mean time you may like to check out some of the 2012 blog postings!
I am looking forward  to Room1 starting in late March.
