Asian Travel Expo

On Wednesday afternoon, in the last week of Term 1, we held our Year 5&6 Asian Travel Expo.   It was very exciting to not only share our own learning, but to also see what others had to share.   We have learned so much about the continent of Asia.

Carey Park Camp

We had the most amazing time at camp. Carey Park is a fantastic place with so many activities and delicious meal times. We all had a lot of fun getting to know each other - our own class and the rest of Year 5&6. Here are some of the memories:
 Taking the first step off the platform on the flying fox was scary - I did it! - Charlotte.
 Swinging on the rope swing out in the middle of the waterhole was frightening - but I did it! - Angelina.
 I was nervous dropping the egg in the Inventors task because I didn't want egg on my clothes - Ben
 I was proud of myself on the scream machine and I was one of the only girls not to do so - Sharysse
 The food was the best part. I chomped into the big, juicy chicken burger - so good when you need it! - Chris

Spinach's visit to Room 19

We were very excited when Sophie and her mum brought in a large bird cage.  Inside was a tiny baby sparrow.  It had been found, unable to fly, so Sophie and her family decided to look after it until it became strong enough to go back into the wild.  They named the sparrow 'Spinach'.

Spinach (the sparrow) was very cute.  He was even quite happy for us all to have a turn holding him!   It was  wonderful to be able to look at a sparrow so closely.  Thanks to Sophie's mum for bringing him to school.

Introduction

This is my first post for 2013.   I was busy over the holidays moving rooms and setting up a learning environment for my new group of Beachlands Learners.   I am now teaching in the Year 5&6 area and have had two awesome weeks getting to know these fabulous young learners.  I am looking forward to sharing their learning with you.
