Tim's Lego Creation

Tim made a wonderful lego creation and recorded a video clip to share with the class. You can click on the image below to watch it.

Beach Education Day...

What fun we had at South New Brighton Beach learning about how to be safe at the beach.  The weather was amazing and although the water was a little chilly, we all got in and had a great time!  We now know many ways to keep ourselves safe at the beach - see if we can tell you some of the ways, by talking to us about our trip.  Many thanks to the parent helpers who joined us on the trip.

Penguins...

We made these cool penguins in Art using plastic water bottles.  It was a lot of fun and they look awesome!

Dry Ice

Georgia from Room 21 brought some dry ice to school. The children observed what happened when dry ice was put into warm water. We talked about how dry ice can cause serious burns if it touches you and you have to wear strong leather gloves to touch it.

The challenge for the children is to find out about dry ice over the weekend to share with the class on Monday.

Beach Education Trip Thursday...

We are looking forward to getting to the beach this Thursday!  The weather forecast looks great!  Please remember to bring:

• suitable mufti
• togs
• 1 towel
• a wetsuit or thermals for in the water - strongly recommended if you have one 
• full brimmed hat
• sunscreen applied and maybe more for topping up
• lunch
• water bottle
• a warm jacket in case the weather changes
• long pants in case the weather changed
• a great attitude!

Make sure everything is NAMED and in a strong bag!

Parent helpers please meet at school by 8.45 to be briefed for the day.  We plan to leave as soon as the register is taken.  

Athletics Day

We had near perfect weather for the year 2 and 3 athletics day - not too hot or too cold! The children all did really well and should be proud of their successes. Having spent most of the day on the high jump event I wasn't able to get any photos of the children, so please send along any good ones you have and we will add them to the blog.

Light

Today we had to try to bounce a beam of light around an object using mirrors. It was quite tricky trying to get the angles of the mirrors correct to reflect the light in the right direction.

Some children managed to bounce the light around two objects before shining it on the vehicle.
