Hello, it was great to see everyone back this week, to play and learn and hear all about the holidays.

In science we are learning about forces and we discussed what makes a paper aeroplane go. Many great ideas were explored including gravity, air pressure and aerodynamics. Then we made our own paper helicopter and had great fun dropping them and watching them spin outside.

We wrote an imaginative story about something that was made. The details and ideas are developing really well, as is spelling and handwriting.

In numeracy we consolidated  the number stories for 11 and 12 using materials and near doubles.

We painted Autumn leaves using a two colour brush stroke. Look very closely, can you see the two tone leaves?

In assembly we learned that we fill our own and others’ buckets through being kind. We are noticing and recording times we are kind. It’s very heartwarming!
