Crazy Cricket...

 We had a special cricket session with two coaches...

We learnt how to throw and catch a small ball and hit the ball using the flat side of the bat.  It was hot!

Swimming and Art

We are in Room 5...

Look at us on the big slide...Weeeeeeeeee!

We are painting our drawings of Room 5.  Come and check them out on our wall in our classroom.

Swimming, swimming, swimming!

We LOVE swimming!

"Look at us splashing!  Watch out Shelley, you might get splashed!" Ahhhhhh!

 

Welcome to school 2015

A big warm welcome to Room 5.  I am the classroom teacher in Room 5 this year.  My name is Shelley Howse.

I am looking forward to getting to know your children throughout the year.  We have a busy time ahead with swimming for the first six weeks and getting to work on our art exhibition in Term 2.

We love learning...

Shelley the Zoo keeper...

Glorious giraffes standing tall and proud...

They have the longest tongue I have ever seen...

There were six giraffes that were being fed...
They liked eating carrots.

The Parachute

Parachute madness...

We liked the parachute!  It was very fun!

It was floaty, we made a 'mushroom' shape!

Here is our mushroom.  Where is Room 3?  I have lost them?  They are under the parachute....Phew!  Found!

We played a game where we had to swap sides under the parachute while it was floating down.  We also played 'crocodiles'...Our toea got nibbled by a crocodile...Ahhhhh!

We really hope Erin can bring the parachute back another time, we LOVED it!

Firewise

We have been learning all about being safe if there was a fire at home or at school.

We know that it is dangerous to play with matches and lighters.  We must give them to an adult if we find them.  

We have been busy drawing flames for our Firewise display.

We know that if there was a fire in our classroom or bedroom, we would GET DOWN, GET LOW AND GET OUT FAST!

If there was smoke in the room, we would crawl out on our knees under the smoke.  At school we know where it is safe away from our classroom.
