Wow, when we got to school today it was really, really foggy. It was so foggy we could hardly see the other side of the oval. Just before recess we went to the far end of the oval and Mrs. K took our photo.
Can you see us?
Have you had foggy days at your school? Have you had snow at your school?
Some of the children in Room 4 have made a podcast. It is all about the Digestive System. Please listen to the podcast and you might learn some new things.

Congratulations to these people for getting awards at Assembly today. You should be very proud of yourselves!
Are you interested in finding out about the nervous system?
Watch our vokis and you will be surprised with all the fantastic facts we found out during Resource Based Learning. We researched the nervous system and made vokis to show you our learning.
Did you enjoy watching our Vokis?
What did you learn about the nervous system?
We had Nat and George talk to us about Rugby. In Rugby you are allowed to tackle but we tagged. We had to tag people around the waist.
We played some fun games. They were: Rugby octopus, Rugby disco, toilet tag and turtle tag. It was very important that we warmed up before we did any games. The Rugby ball is shaped like a football. The male Rugby team are called the Wallabies and the female team are called the Wallaroos.
We had fun with Nat and George.

We had a Junior Primary Assembly today. We thought it would be fun to show some of our learning using the CAFE strategies. One of the strategies we have been looking at is ‘flip the sound’. This song helped us to remember what sounds the vowels make and therefore how we could use them in our reading.
It was a fun way to learn them!

Since Mrs. K added SpeakPipe to her side-bar we have been fortunate to have four messages left! Two are from our friends in Surrey British Columbia in Canada, one is from our Quadblogging teacher in France and one from Mrs. Nelson in Canada! It’s very exciting to be able to hear the voives of people who are on the other side of the world.
Mrs. K has put the messages into AudioBoo so that you can hear them.
Would you like to leave us a message as well?
Today Rooms 3 and 4 began their Unit Of Inquiry called “Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes”. The Central Idea is that our bodies keep us alive and healthy.
We all went to the library and Mrs. Langham spoke with us about our body systems.
Do you know that we have 600 muscles in our body?
We drew a diagram of our body and we are going to label the important body parts.
On the first day of school we coloured in our names with crayon. Today we painted over them with bright paints. While some of us were painting the rest of the class was busy doing their work. Mrs. Kolenberg will laminate our paintings and put them in our room for the rest of the year. Do you like them? Have you got paintings in your room?
Earlier this year we took part in the Premier’s Be Active Challenge. We had to do at least 60 minutes of exercise 5 days a week for 4 weeks. We recorded our activities in a log book. We really enjoyed being active and we got fit and healthy at the same time. When we finished Mrs. Kolenberg entered our name into the Be Active data base. Today we received a bronze medal for our efforts. We were very pleased to get them. For some of us this is the first medal we have ever had.
