Work share reminder Our first 1MLN work share: 12th November 8.20-9am (note that not all G1 classes are on the same day). We'll have stations around the room and you and your child will explore the Amazing Human Machine together.  (If for some reason you cant make it your child will still have a lovely time exploring with their friends' families). Feel free to stay and join us for Library time at 9am.

Photo orders are due back on the 3rd November

Please read the volunteer page for a few new opportunities including Happy Lodge and SKYPING IN A POEM

Pop up Poetry: Please, inspire your child by popping a poem in an unexpected place. eg. Under their pillow, in their lunch box, in their uniform pocket or on the bathroom mirror. 

Fingers and toes crossed that we have some a clear week ahead so we can finally go to the Forest Adventure on Thursday morning.  PE kits and an extra snack would be great.

If anyone is willing to join a roster to take home our lunchtime table clothes to wash on a Friday please add your name here. (Sathia and I are a bit over 3 huge table clothes drying in our apartments every weekend)

The Gingerbread Man. Have you heard that the our class Gingerbread man has gone missing? He has been sending us postcards from around the world. We used Google Earth to find each of the places that he's been to. Today in Maths we tracked his travels on the October calendar.
Ask your child where he has been.
Ask your child what what they added to the calendar. 

PE self reflection
Ask your child how they changed their running and throwing style after watching their videos back.
Ask your child how they worked collaboratively with their partner.

Spirit Day. Ask your child about the characters in our class today. 

Our Amazing Human Machine. The sun shone so we went out.
Ask your child what they did outside with chalk and some new Human Body knowledge.

Our very first Kids Up Front
Ask your child what Salomé taught us all about Shabbat.

Poetry 

Ask your child what they did out in our POETRY POD

Does your child have a favourite Michael Rosen poem yet?

Ask your child how to recite a poem well.

Ask your child what is happening in these photos ?

We had a fabulous time sharing the exciting holiday adventures.
Ask your child about some of the things people wrote, made and did over the holidays. These photos might remind them.

I want to thank Finbar's family for spending time with Savaira our boarding buddy over the holidays. As well as Sami and his family for having  Savaira out over night in the holidays. We hope that these photos will inspire you to invite Savaira to join you and your family sometime -just say the word !

Savaira told us that she loved chocolate cakes, so she learnt to make one !

Savaira misses her siblings back in Fiji, but loved a cuddle. I also hear she works magic with a crying baby !
