What a fantastic time the year 3's had at camp last week. Thank you so much to the parents who accompanied us and did so much to make sure that we were well looked after and had yummy lunches - thanks for all that beautiful baking. Year 2 had an amazing week impressing Mrs Eastwood with their learning and having an awesome day with Mrs Donaldson on Thursday - those butterflies are looking stunning.
We all proved to be excellent meat pattie makers this morning - the special hamburgers went down a treat with the fathers at their lunch today - so good that so many dads, granddads and uncles were able to attend. This afternoon we had a presentation with Bruce Potter an illustrator - he has everyone buzzing with "oodles of doodles" inspired by his Doodlebug. If you haven't paid your $2 to the school office for this show could you please do this as soon as possible. I hope the afternoon doodles were shared with you tonight.
Athletic Skills start tomorrow (Tuesday). Please have your school sports uniform to change in to - if you have one, or bring shorts and a tee-shirt (girls).
Musical Songs: I was surprised on the bus last week that people knew so many of the songs off by heart. All the words are now in homework books for people to sing along.
Eisteddfod Speeches: Year 2 will work on what is required in class this week and I will post the information on the blog. Year 3 are working on speech writing in Room 4 (along with Loretta), Mrs Ward is basing her teaching on camp experiences, as the children learn how to structure a speech. This means that they will have the same opportunity as Room 4 to learn what will be required for the year 3/4 marking schedule, and the writing becomes part of their camp follow up for their camp books. The speech does not have to be about camp. I know that some people have already chosen what they will speak about. Year 3 have a sheet in their homework books to help them plan their time and preparation.
