Leigh Hobbs Visit

Today Leigh Hobbs came to visit our school.  He was very interesting to meet and listen to.  He taught us how to draw three of his famous characters.  They were Old Tom, Mr Chicken and Horrible Harriet.

Book Week Dress Up Day

Last week our school celebrated Book Week.  Some of the things we did for Book Week were a daily book quiz, a family challenge, whole-school rotation activities and we had a dress-up day.  Here are some photos of us looking fantastic dressed up as characters from our favourite books.

Swimming

This term we had swimming lessons.  We went almost every day for two weeks.  We went on a bus to Aquarena for our lessons.

100 Days of Prep

Today we are celebrating our first 100 days of Prep. 

We made special masks.

We wrote about what we have liked most about our first 100 days at school.  Some of us read our work out at assembly!

We thread 100 fruit loops onto a piece of string to make necklaces.

We decorated biscuits.

We filled in 100 charts.

 

The Olympic Games

This year the world will be having the Olympic Games.  This happens every four years.  Champion athletes from all around the world will be going to London to compete in many events.  Today we talked about the Olympic Flame.  The Olympic flame is a symbol of the Olympic Games.  The first Olympic Games were held in Ancient Greece.  These days an Olympic Torch is lit from the Olympic Flame in Greece and carried to the place where the Olympics will be held in a special torch relay.  We made our own Olympic Torches.

 

Counting to 100

We have been learning about 100.  It's a big number!  We have been counting to 100 by 1s, 2s, 5s and 10s.  Here are some photos of us playing a counting to 100 game.
