We definitely made the most of the wonderful weather that we had today and spent a lot of our time outside, walking and playing with our own individual sports equipment. Check out what we got up to below!

Kobe's mum said that Kobe really enjoyed listening to the story about Bigfoot this morning and found the drawing instructions easy to follow. They also enjoyed spending time together making their own art and craft Bigfoot using a cardboard box, textured paper, soft drink bottles, milk top, pipe cleaners and paint! It was a great way to use up recycled materials.  That is one cool looking monster, Kobe. Your monster must be a friendly one as I can see it is smiling. I like your monster drawing, too. Its eyes are looking very curious. I am so happy to know that you had a great fun day. 

Kelsea's monster drawing Kelsea and Shani's butter                                                                                  Kelsea's Anzac Day Watch this video of Kelsea and her sister, Shani making their butter following Mrs McAllan's recipe. Their butter looks so good! The photo in the middle shows the poppy art with a cross Kelsea created for commemorating Anzac Day. Kelsea drew a monster after listening to the Boy Who Cried Bigfoot! yesterday. Kelsea, you have been continuously busy doing lots of fun learning activities. I love seeing what you have been doing. Thanks for sharing and keep up the awesome work!

  Isabella had great fun making monsters this morning. She made a few different scary monsters and they all look very different but very friendly. I like the one on the far right, the blue one with shiny blond hair. Thank you for sharing, Isabella.

Check out the slide below to see how we got on with our first day of onsite learning! Social distancing certainly made our day very different to normal school!

Harsirat has been extremely busy completing lots of work in her workbook. It looks like you have been doing a wide range of things. I wonder what you enjoyed doing the most?                                                                                                                                   

I was so excited to get an email from Mikayla. She has been super busy in her bubble. I bet you go very fast on the motorbike! It looks like you have twins like me too...I love seeing your smile Mikayla.                                                                             

Olly has been busy in her bubble performing this rap. After listening to a story, which was presented as a rap, students had to rap their own story. What a star Olly!

Isabella with her Kite Isabella had a busy fun day. She made her kite following the instruction on the video and added her own design to the kite. She couldn't wait for the day to bring some wind so that she can go outside to fly it. After watching Kiwican, she and her sister, Olivia, went out and did Tia's Bop it energiser with her mum's help. The last video shows Isabella rapping while reading the Wheels on Bus. Isabella, I really like your kite and enjoyed watching you doing the Bop it energiser. You are getting really good at reading fluently.  I am so proud of you, Isabella!

  Milla was very creative and used some reusable supermarket bags for making her poppies to hang on her letterbox. They are stunning, and the black outline on the edge of the petals is looking very effective. Thanks for sharing, Milla!

Sunshine and Essence have been continuing to work really hard on their learning and staying active during their time at home. Check out their amazing stories!
