4's Holiday Fun




It has been a fun packed week for the 4-5 year olds as we spent the last week of the Term 2 holidays engaging in fun and learning activities. Everyday we spent our afternoons going for mystery walks around the PAC campus. We even got to visit and explore where the big senior boys eat their lunch and spend their breaks. And on one special occasion we got to visit the school museum. Thanks to Grace's mum Melissa ! The children were in awe looking at the memorabilia of the boys from PAC.
"Wow! Look at those old cricket balls and bats!" Fergus exclaimed.
"There's lots of names on the wall! added Henry.
"They must play lots of sports before" said Elliott.
What a fun time that was for everyone. Not to mention we got to explore the rainbow playground at the reception school too!
The children have also explored the art of Origami and our first project was making a dog by folding a piece of square paper. "It was a bit tricky"the boys said. But luckily Ms. Freer was there to talk us through it. Some children were able to make frogs and fish.
On Tuesday Ms. Jodie from Animal Capers came to show us some wonderful animals and the children just loved looking at, patting and holding them. There are some photos in the Chappel Room to see too.

But the best part of this week was the children making 3 layers of Jelly! Jelly made with berries and orange that they juiced themselves. Of course we loved eating our share humming to the song "Jelly on a plate".

Til the next school holidays.
