Anzac Day

This week we are learning about Anzac Day

We made Anzac Biscuits. The children took photos of the experience and then created a 'pic collage'

We wrote stories about the experience - using describing words






















ITM CUP

The ITM Cup came to visit last term!







Diorama Fun!

We have been learning about the Rocky Shore this year!

We listed things that belong in the rocky shore - that is theit habitat

The children created a criteria for what they needed to include in their diorama "box" and they self evaluated against the criteria they created.

We ALSO had to work as a team. We talked about 'how' to work as a team and crated a criteria for "how to work in a team" we evaluated how we went against the criteria.

The children worked extremely hard on these and they are displayed in the corridor by our bags.
