To end a fantastic week of Easter fun, the Sunflowers enjoyed a trip to the park. We loved playing together in the sunshine and can’t wait for the holidays now. Have a great break everyone, see you soon!
Successful Learners
The Sunflowers have had lots of fun in the sensory garden playing with our frizbees. Each child was able to throw the frizbee and hold it their hands to explore its shape. Some children attempted to catch the frizbee and play throw and catch games with their classmates.
Confident Individuals
As part of this terms 50 things outdoors tasks, the Sunflowers have experienced the sights, sounds and feelings of a rainstorm in open air. Each child was able to play in the rain and some children were able to run, jump and splash in puddles. Everyone put on their waterproof jackets to take part.

The Moonbeams have had a fantastic week participating in a variety of activities. They loved seeing the animals and having a little hold. Yesterday they were dancing with friends at the outdoor party as well as enjoying an Easter Egg hunt and Easter crafts. Have a lovely holiday!
This week we had the petting zoo and comets loved petting the animals and seeing different types of animals. We did a Easter egg hunt and we even got to see the Easter bunny and chick.
We decorated some boiled eggs using paint or pens. We made our own Easter marshmallows using chocolate sauce, sprinkles and of course marshmallows. We did some hard work that was Easter themed and the comets liked the work.
On Thursday we had our Easter disco with the other classes. We played pin the tail on the bunny, corners and pass the teddy chick around. We even got some dancing done. The comets enjoyed playing with the other classes and being outside.
We got to try on our titanic costume that we made ourselves and it was awesome!
We did our own Easter hunt on Friday and the comets did really well finding them and helping each other out.
Have a great Easter break comets.
Yesterday was our outdoor Easter disco. We had lots of fun outside with our friends with bubbles and dancing. We also had our snack outside too. We then enjoyed an indoor egg hunt in the class finding eggs and putting them in our buckets. We then enjoyed another outdoor egg hunt with the Snowdrops I the playground today. We were confident individuals holding our buckets and looking around to see how many eggs we could find. We then sat and counted out all the eggs inside our buckets.
This week we used icing on a spoon and icing in a pen to decorate Easter biscuits. We had to use the muscles in our hand to squeeze the icing out of the pen to create a pattern on our egg shape biscuit. We were confident individuals holding the spoon and then pen to create our design. We were responsible citizens making sure we made sure we left some for our friends to use too. Some of us even tried the biscuits once we had finished making them.
We were all responsible citizens when the petting zoo came to school, we got to see …and hold some lovely rabbits.
Also some ducks and chickens too!!!
We have been confident individuals working on counting skills and colour sorting using the Easter baskets.

The Asteroids have enjoyed the last week before the holidays.
We were very responsible and confident, handling the animals when we visited the petting zoo. The animals were so cute!
We had super looking skills when we went on the Treasure Hunt. We found the Easter bunny at the end and he gave us Easter eggs! Yay!
We’ve enjoyed making some Easter crafts, listening to the Easter story and singing some Easter themed songs.
Today, we had lots of fun outside in the sun at our Easter disco. We played some party games and had fun with our friends from some other classes.
Have a great holiday, everyone!

We did some lovely Easter themed activities this week. We created an Easter card, had a shapes treasure hunt and handled lots of different animals at the ‘Petting Zoo’. We had good fun following clues to find the Easter bunny and were rewarded by a chocolate egg from him. At science we did a ‘Humpty Dumpty’ experiment where we explored different ways to save an egg from breaking when dropped from a height. This was good fun. We joined other classes from the upper primary for an outdoor disco where we played games as well as danced. A good week has been had by all.
