Making Anzac biscuits

Today for discovery learning we made Anzac biscuits to end our week learning about Anzac Day and why we remember.

 
 

 

 

Jack's Mum Helen made the biscuits with a small group and was a fantastic help today. 

 

 

 

 
 

We also enjoyed play dough outside, dress ups, lego, blocks, doll lego and the family corner activities.

 

 

 

 
 

We are loving having the outside bays and our new classroom, it is awesome.

 

 
 
 

Look at our ANZAC day display.

 

 

Room 1 Visits the Pre-school

On Thursday room 1 visits the pre-school as this helps with transition for children that are about to start school and those currently at school.  As a teacher I get to meet all the children at Pre-school and to build a relationship with them before they start school.  I also get to observe my class and the activities they engage in.  I know that Madi loves the crafts table, Kees and Angelo love the sandpit, Marco likes to hang upside down, Leo likes to catch up with his old friends, Kobe likes the cars, Tasmyn likes the home corner, Pippa likes playing with Harper in the family corner and Jack loves the blocks and cars.

Pippa, Madi and Lukad play a number pattern matching fish game.  Lukas starts school next week.

Angelo loves the hose in the sandpit.

Carlos copies Marco hanging.  Carlos joins us soon.

Madi is happiest making!
 

Freddy plays with play dough.  Freddy is in room 1 soon.
 

 

Leo gives Lukas a push in the barrel swing.

Kees like the forklift.
 
 
 
 

Visiting  Pre-school is a highlight of the week.
