Mother's Day!


Here are our Mother's Day cards. We used cupcake wrappers for the petal of the flower. We made cards for Mums, Grannies and Sisters.









Our Holiday Stories!

We had lots of fun using our ipads to record our holiday stories! Our teacher showed us how to make a movie out of it in iMovie. We can't wait to make more movies!

Making Pizzas!

On the second last day of Term 1, we buddied up with our fellow Year 1s in Room 7 and made pizzas! 

We had lots of delicious ingredients to choose from: tomato AND barbecue sauces, pineapple, bacon, ham, cheese...yum yum yum! Is your mouth watering yet? You can see our pictures here!
