This
week we have looked into the world of straw! It all started by reading "The
Scarecrow's Wedding" by Julia Donaldson. The children wanted to make their own
scarecrow for the garden to protect the peas, they had been growing. We decided
that we need to get some straw to make one, but what is straw?
We looked at
plants that were growing in the garden and discovered that straw was different
from hay. We looked at some wheat grains and had a go at grinding them to make
flour. It was hard work! We even made our own scarecrow pictures using squares
and rectangles, and of course straw!
We
have continued to look at patterning in numeracy and in literacy we have tried
to find our own names and make silly rhymes.
The
caterpillar continues to fascinate and a butterfly may not be far away.
Tuesday
4th April is Grandies Day - Parking will be an issue and may require parking in nearby
streets. We are still looking for volunteers to help on the book store, if you
are available.
Parents interviews are available for those who are
interested in week 10- See time sheets on lockers.
Please take time to check out our program wall. It gives
a great insight into the learning and experiences the children have undertaken
across the term.
Please
be advised that we are currently experiencing a bout of school sores in the
Chapple Room. If in any doubt, please seek medical advice as it is proving very
contagious.
