Term 3 2010

We have reached the last week of Term 3 and we have had such a great term but I think the children are ready for a holiday! It is a big time for them making the transition from Pre- Schools and other Child Care facilities into School and with so much learning taking place they are all looking a little bit tired.

We have had a lot of fun exploring Liquids, Solids and Gases for the past 5 weeks. We have made Jelly, Piklets, and Pop Corn and Ice and we have also completed different experiments to see how things change when we add water or heat and cool them. Under the children’s work section you can see one of the lessons we completed in ICT using the Inspirations Program. The children have categorised different objects under the 3 headings. The children have done a great job both using the new program and categorising.

We have been involved in a Football training program through the Nelson Football association. We attended 4 half hour sessions with our coach Jordan. During these times we learnt kicking and dribbling skills and participated in various games and activities. We had so much fun!!! A number of us have now joined Junior Football on the weekends!... Good luck to those who have.

I huge thank you to those families and friends that made it to the Folk Dancing extravaganza the children thoroughly enjoyed sharing all their hard work with you! I will put up some photos of this shortly.

See you all next Term and enjoy the holidays!!!
