Mixing Colours

Today we talked about the three primary colours, red, yellow and blue. We talked about how you can mix colours to make new colours. Red and yellow makes orange. Blue and red makes purple. Blue and yellow makes green.

Miss Kirkham came in to see us and helped us with mixing the colours. It was so good to see her.

Our Celebrations Topic

As part of our Celebrations Topic, we have been talking about birthdays. This week we designed and described our 7th birthday cake and we made some party hats. On Friday we sang 'Happy Birthday' while we wore our party hats and played party games. What a lot of fun.Come in and see our cake designs up on the wall in the classroom.

Look who Mrs Burge bumped into at the Fireworks show

Mrs Burge bumped into Kevin the Kiwi, our class toy that goes home with one family each week to have fun and write his diary. He was with Madison, Cooper (Madison's brother), Franca and Kaya.
He has a fantastic time Oohing and Ahhhing at the fireworks!!!

Athletics Day Racing Practice

Today we practiced for the running races for Athletics Day. Everyone did a super duper job and ran as fast as they could. It was lots of fun. 

Miss Kirkham's Last Day

On Friday it was Miss Kirkham's last day in Room 13!!!

She has been a fantastic teacher and we have loved every minute of her being with us.

 We had a few games to celebrate Miss Kirkham's last day. We played musical chairs, corners, musical statues, pass the kiwi and sang some songs. It was SO much fun. 

Thank you for being such an awesome teacher Miss Kirkham and thank you for the goodie bags with the pencils, rubbers and stamps. You were very kind.

We miss Miss Kirkham already but she has promised to pop in to see us once her exams are finished.

Mrs Burge's daughters, Emily and Lydia came to visit

Emily and Lydia came to visit us on Tuesday. They had a teacher only day so Mrs driver very kindly said that they could come and help in Room 13.

We had lots of fun, Reading, Writing and playing together. Lunch time play was the most fun, playing together on the playground.

Playground Safety

We have been learning about Playground Safety, talking about how we need to be careful in the playground.

 Go UP the stairs and DOWN the side. 

 DO NOT stand under the pole when someone is coming down.

 The softfall does not hurt when you fall on it. The concrete DOES hurt. 

 Be careful of the poles. Watch where you are going.

DO NOT run around corners. 

 DO NOT climb over the bars of the boat playground.

DO NOT walk through the flying fox when someone is using it.
