Book Talk Helpers.

A huge hug and thanks to those parents who have participated in our wonderful 'Book Talk' sessions on a Wednesday morning. It is a very special time and adds much to developing our love of Literature. We are so impressed with how you all so engage the children and discuss the stories read which will encourage a greater depth of understanding of what a story may be about. Thanks again, Kevin

Friday Fitness and Fun.

Yoga is great fun for children's mind, body and spirit. Emily introduced the children to breathing and movements.

Pina comes to work with the children to combine stories, music, imagination and visualisation with traditional yoga techniques.

Ethan is challenging the children through breakdance and Kevin is teaching Tai Chi. This is to improve balance, concentration, flexibility, focus, attention and learning.

Thankyou Pina and Emily!

Machines Work

The measuring time inquiry group have been investigating how wheels and gears are moved by a centre wheel. As part of our inquiry a group of children from years 5/6 came to assist us in this experience using lego dacta. All the children were very excited with their original machines as they learnt about cogs and other moving parts. Thank you to our wonderful experts.
