Chapple Room




Another exciting week has raced by with Colour Mixing Play Dough, followed by Shrove Tuesday with our attempts at pancake tossing. Miss Veltmeyer even managed to get colour mixing into our pancake toppings. We met our Year 3 Buddies for the first time and had fun playing with them. This will hopefully be a regular activity. Then finally we started making our own paper.

 Boasi cried out that’s not paper as he helped mix the pulp.

 Grey porridge, a wet elephant’s skin and a smoothie were some of the suggestions of what it looked like.
 
Action in the Primary Years Program

One of the most important parts of the PYP is the element of Action- This is where the children make connections and use their knowledge outside the classroom. This is always a difficult area to assess, particularly in the younger years. We have been pleased to hear stories of the children talking about what they have done in school at home. For example Alex recently telling his father I bet you don’t know what the primary colours are?  We would like to record these anecdotes, so if you get chance please email to us at mcharlwood@staff.pac.edu.au
