Education Outside the Classroom





Our Native Tree Drawings

This morning we explored our school and had a go at sketching our beautiful native trees. This was the first time we have tried our hand at sketching and I think the children had fun trying a different technique for drawing.

Education Outside the Classroom








Trip to Cornwallis Beach



Today was our trip to Cornwallis Beach and when we arrived back at class most of the children talked about the fun that they had at the beach with their friends. They loved the shells, swimming and looking at the crabs. The bus trip was also a highlight of the trip.

Playing with patterns





Learning about patterns

In class we have been playing and learning about patterns. Patterns are a core math skill. We have been learning about prediction: What will happen next, and creating our own patterns.

Swimming

Intensive Lessons
After two weeks
For the last two weeks we have had intensive swimming lessons. I can see that the children have gained confidence in their abilities and skill levels. Those children who were scared of the water to start with have grown in stature and are now confident in their ability to play in the water and learn how to swim. Children who were more confident in the pool have extended their skills. The whole class has shown great courage and persistence in learning new skills.
We are looking forward to showing those skills on the 1st of April in our schools “Give it a go day”. This will be an opportunity to share our new skills with our families and friends.
