This week we did some really fun and creative Christmas cooking with Jackson’s mum, Kim.
We made a Santa on a sleigh and mini puddings. They looked really yummy – almost too good to eat but we still ate them!

Gala Day 2013
Today Craigburn had Gala Day. It’s one of our favourite days of the school year. This is a day where Year 3-7 students are able to run a stall to raise money for our school. The students need to organise everything related to their stall: planning who’s in their group, what each stall will offer, making posters for advertising, getting their materials ready, having plenty of materials needed. It a wonderful chance for our students to show how enterprising they can be.
The stalls can be anything you choose: cake stalls, games, sponge throwing, soccer skills games, searching through slime for a prize, basketball hoop throwing, lucky dips, face painting, a nail salon, drinks stalls and a whole lot more!!!
We have 2 sessions for stall holders. The first is for R-2 students and then the Year 3-7 students have their turn. Everyone brings lots of coins to spend – most things cost 20c, 50c or $1.00. There’s lots for everyone to try and it doesn’t cost too much.
We’d like to say a huge thank you to Mr Luke for organising the stall holders and all of the stall holders – once again we loved Gala Day!
Here’s some photos from today’s Gala Day.
Migration Museum & South Australian Museum
Last Thursday our class travelled with Mrs Chick’s class to the city to visit 2 museums as a part of our Inquiry learning.
First we visited the SA Museum to look at how Aboriginal children played and viewed different Aboriginal artefacts. We also pooped into some of the other displays in the museum. It was such an interesting place to visit – we’d love to go back soon!
Next we visited the Migration Museum to investigate people’s celebrations from around the world. There is a special display of maps, artefacts, books and all sorts of items that explain the celebrations of Bosnia and Herzegovina. It was really interesting to view the tapestry wall hanging in the foyer and then enter the larger display of items from Bosnia Herzegovina.
Here’s some photos of our very busy day.

New Mini Buddies
Our Reception class has had another intake of new Reception students. They now have a class of 25 children. We met with them last week to reorganise our groups and do some reading together.
Here are some photos of our new mini buddy partners from our reading session.
Welcome!
We have a new student in our class. We’d like to introduce Jasmine – she’s a Year 2 in our class and has really settled well into our class and has made great friends already. The children in our class have been wonderful helping Jasmine settle into our class and Craigburn Primary.
