Term 1 Weeks 5 & 6

Monday of week 5 we didn't have to come to school. It was a wonderful break to spend with our families. However, we returned to school on Tuesday morning ready to have some fun and learn.

In Religion we learnt that God hears us pray everywhere no matter where we might be. We drew pictures to show the place where God might hear us pray.


In Maths we investigated Ten Facts. We looked at what number combinations make ten. We used counters, bears and unfix blocks to help us.


I found out that 7+3 =10

I found out that 5+5=10

I found out that 6+4=10

I found that 9+1=10 too.
We could then use our basic ten facts to help us with twenty facts. We had fun working it out in groups.


  

We also had lots of fun painting paper plates ready to make our starfish.

 






The most exciting part of Week 6 was our excursion on Monday to AQWA. We went down on the bus and it seemed to take a long time to get there. When we finally arrived we had recess and a run around. Mr W., Mrs L., and Mrs D, were running around with us. They were trying to catch us.

Then we met Miss S. She worked at AQWA and she told us all about the place and the displays we could walk around and see.

Then we got to go in and explore. We were broken into small groups. We saw many sea creatures from up and down the coast of Western Australia. It was so exciting.

 
We also enjoyed learning interesting information in the Curiosity Cabinet sessions.  



Our excursion to AQWA was so much fun. Thank you to those parents who were our helpers for the day.
