Winter

November 27, 2014 Miss Rae Leave a comment

Over the past few weeks the children have been drawing pictures to represent their own personal story. We will continue to do this and maybe even write a letter to Santa 🙂

We have been very busy doing different art and craft activities for our Christmas Fair.

The boys and girls are learning their songs for the nativity on the 17^th December. Keep singing at home and working hard. Next week everyone will find out what part they have in the nativity and some children might have extra lines to learn.

We have been enjoying hearing Winter stories and Percy the Park keeper.

This week our favourite activities have been:

Using the bricks to build a tower – Brendan

Playing in the house corner pretending it’s a restaurant – Kamia

Lego – Mackenzie

Drawing a house – Kimberley

Together Time – LIGHT

November 26, 2014 User deactivated Leave a comment

This week our Together Time was about LIGHT! We thought about how light was important to us in different ways, such as dressing bright to stay safe during the dark winter nights, how light helps us to grow through absorbing vitamin D and can alter our mood, plants needing light to grow to produce oxygen for us to survive, and Hindu and Christian stories about the importance of light in religion. It was an action packed assembly for sure!

To link to this, this Friday is DRESS DOWN DAY! Our theme is bright colours. Colourful clothes, shoes, accessories and maybe even hair will help to promote the messages discussed at Together Time. It’s Time to get creative!!

Nativity

November 21, 2014 Mrs Murphy Leave a comment

Primary 1 and 2 began our practice for the Christmas Nativity – ‘Ralph the Reindeer’.

We have been trying hard to be a good audience as well as good performers. We have been reading our lines and using our big loud voices and beautiful singing voices.

If you ask us when we are at home we might let you hear some of our great songs. We love having people listening to us.

Think she did a fantastic job. What do you think?
