We had a fantastic day on Friday! We really enjoyed eating yummy orange quarters at Fruit Break -  and posing as aliens from Outer Space!

 

 

 

We also had a great time being creative and showing others what we've learnt during Developmental Time...

 Last week we got together with some of the senior children and learnt about

Term 3's Waltham School Value of being

Pleasant and Polite

 

We made a poster together, talking about what being Pleasant and Polite looks like, sounds like and feels like. We also acted out various examples. Check out our learning!



Remembering our manners while lining up.



Learning to say "Excuse Me Please"



Learning to "Take Turns."



When we take turns we are "Sharing and Caring."

 

Learning when to say "Pardon"

Come and check out our poster in Room 1 to see what else we are leanring about being pleasant and polite.

Also see our 'Reaching for the Stars' responsibility rocket!

Junior Team Shared Lunch

On Tuesday Room 1 and Room 4 had their shared lunch to celebrate the end of the Inquiry unit

All Cultures Shine.

Look at the yummy food we had to eat.  Many thanks to all the families who provided food from their culture or another country. The teachers were amazed by how much the children could eat and that they were willing to try new foods.  Well done to the children.

 . 

"The food was so yummy and I liked the dumplings"      

"I liked the bread with sprinkles on top"

"Sushi."        "Yummy food"      

"Thank you Madi's Mum for the nachos"                                                                               

"I love my Mum's Greek shortbread"           

One very clever caterpillar has been listening to our phonics this week!  On Tuesday we were learning the letter u, umbrella, under, up, underwear.  

We have been watching the caterpillar crawl up the wall and on Friday morning we looked on the alphabet chart to see the chrysalis under the umbrella. 
Jacqs took this photo of the chrysalis on Friday.
