At Craigburn the Junior Primary children spent the day having a go at lots of different sports. It was a wonderful day. We got to try these sports: Little Athletics, Baseball, Golf, Korfball, Tennis, Taekwondo, Zumba, Wheelchair Sport and Earth Ball. We tried everything and it didn’t matter if we were good at it or not. The most important thing was that we all had a go.
We all had a great day! The weather was beautiful and everyone participated enthusiastically.
Room 4 would like to thank all the instructors for their wonderful effort today. We really appreciate you coming to our school and sharing your knowledge with us.
Please visit TUMBLR to view some fun things we did today

On Friday we had a whole school assembly and the school’s jump rope team gave us a demonstration of their skills. They were fantastic!
They then took classes for a skills session where we could have a go at doing double dutch, skipping with the long  and small ropes. We enjoyed doing this with our buddies.

Thank you Miss Grant and the Jump Rope team. We really appreciated you giving us some lessons. We love skipping!

There is also a TUMBLR.  for you to see.

Our Excursion

We had the best day on Wednesday!

It was the culmination of our Unit of Inquiry into “planning a trip”. After watching great presentations by the children and then voting, we chose to go to The Toy Factory at Gumeracha and Melba’s Chocolate Factory. It was a wonderful way to celebrate the children’s hard work! Everyone was so well behaved and learnt a lot about the toys that are made at Gumeracha. Graham the ‘toy elf’ showed us through his workshop and expained how he made all the fantastic toys for children.

Many thanks to the mums who helped us out on the day. Were you as tired as I was at the end of the day?!

Have a look at the photos to get an idea of what we did.You can see we had lots of fun!

Please look at our TUMBLR. to see 2 short clips of our day.

Here we are wearing our masks.

          

You can see our performance on the tumblr posts.

A Day In Room 4

Our Blogging friend at  Harston Primary (Mrs. Wilson) took some time lapse photography of a day in her class. She saw it on Mr. Avery’s Blog. It shows you the events that happen in a classroom over one day in around one minute!

We decided to do the same thing. Mrs. Kolenberg set the laptop up on a cupboard and using a programme called JellyCam she timed when the photos would be taken. Our day takes just over two minutes to watch.That’s a very quick day!

There are times when we aren’t in the room. During those times we are at Recess, Lunch, German and in the Hall.

Have fun watching a day in our room at super pace!

Maths-Time

We have been learning about time. We had to make our own clocks. Some of us had a little trouble getting our numbers into the right spot!

We have investigated o’clock and 1/2 past times as anologue and digital. We set little clocks to these times. Here we are showing the times we set on our clocks.

  

 

 

 

 

 

 

We sat with a partner and asked them to set their clocks to a specific time. We were able to help our friends if they needed it.


Mrs. Kolenberg found these fun songs on You Tube that helped us learn about time.

On Friday it was 11-11-11. This is a very significant day to everyone. It is Remembrance Day. At Craigburn Primary School we had special assembly.

Everyone paused for one minute of silence while The Last Post was played.

Thankyou Mrs. Nelson for this photo.

If you would like to see a wonderful slideshow that was presented at the assembly visit Mrs. Nelson’s blog.

We also had Gala Day on Friday and what a great time everyone had. The older students had spent hours of their time preparing stalls of many different kinds. The Junior Primary students had an opportunity to visit the stalls after recess and there were so many to see! Lots of bargains were bought and what wonderful food was on sale! You could even get your face painted or nails polished! Many,many thanks to those students were involved. Your hard work helped to make Gala Day a wonderful success!

What a beautiful day it was yesterday for the Adelaide Christmas Pageant. The sun was shining and the streets were lined with lots of happy families.

Of course, the most exciting part was when Father Christmas made his appearance!
