Plants - Inquiry Learning

Over the holidays, you may wish to help your child select a question/questions to investigate and guide their research. It would be appreciated if your child brings what they have done to school.

Achieving Goals

I am so impressed with all those children who have started to achieve their goals that we set in term 1. Kingsley sent a video of him tying his shoe laces. Have a look...

If you have achieved your goal get mum or dad to take a picture or video and Miss Campbell will upload it to the blog.

Easter Time

What a treat! It was Hannah's birthday on April 5 and she brought a huge egg with easter eggs to share with the class. This meant that we had extra eggs in our easter baskets.
