Mrs. K hopes that everyone had a fantastic holiday and that you all did some lovely things with your family.

Term 3 is sure to be an exciting, fun filled time with lots of learning. There might even be something special happening towards the end of the term! You will have to wait to find out what that might be.

This morning we got our little whiteboards out and wrote words to describe our holidays. Mrs. K then typed our words onto Active Inspire. She took a screen shot of our words to show you some of the fun things we did during the holidays.

We then wrote our words into our writing books. Here are some examples of our beautiful work.

We had a lovely last day of Term 2. We got to eat our jelly! We made it earlier in the week as a Science lesson. We discussed the steps taken to make jelly and the changes that occured during the process. The jelly was green to represent a pond and what made it really special was that there was a chocolate frog in our ponds!

We got to eat our jelly and frogs while we watched Toy Story. This was a lovely way to conclude our Unit of Inquiry about toys.

Look at the photos to see how happy we were to be having frogs in a pond!

This term our unit of inquiry has been about toys from the past and present. We have been investigating how they have changed or stayed the same over the years. We have looked at many toys that we had never seen before. During our discussions we have looked at what toys were made of in the olden days and what they are made of today. There are many toys that are still the same as the olden day ones but they are now made of plastic and need batteries or electricity to move.

Yesterday, as a conclusion to our topic we watched Pinocchio.Pinocchio was a toy that was made a long time ago, but marionette puppets are still used today.We had a fun day today because we made our own puppets using cardboard and split pins. What colourful puppets they were!

If you watch this short movie clip you will see us moving our puppets to one of the songs in the film.

We had a man called Shane come to Craigburn and teach us some tennis skills. We used rebound nets and soft balls. We caught the balls in nets. While were having our lesson it rained and we had to move.
It was great fun! The balls bounced a long way and we had a fun time trying to catch them!
