In preparation for our Harvest assembly next week we enjoyed the Hindu story about Rama and Sita, we discovered it was about light overcoming dark.They made little oil lamps called divas to guide them home.
This afternoon we made our own diva lamps out of clay, we rolled a ball and then used our thumbs to shape the pot.Last of all we decorated them using clay tools. They need to dry out and th we can paint. They look fantastic already!!!
Learning fun!, by Mrs Pratten

This week the koalas have enjoyed finding out about Robert Goddard who invented the first fuel powered rocket, space relax kids and a number treasure hunt. They had to find 8 numbers and order them biggest to smallest explaining their thinking. It was tricky to find them all! In our learning with Jigsaw Jack we had fun playing circle games and thinking about what we wanted our classroom to look like eg helping each other, kind words and hands and superstar learning.

Being imaginative!, by Mrs Pratten
Date: 13th Sep 2019 @ 4:43pm
The koalas have had fun splatting paper to make the background for our rockets 🚀 even some shoe were turned into space shoes!!
We used our imaginations today to think about what we might see out of the rocket window. Following our story we worked with a partner to draw and write what we thought we might see. We then made a window this afternoon.We had lots of great ideas, shooting stars, alien rockets and alien houses to name a few.
Hope you all have a great weekend and a well earned rest🤪
