Wordfoto

In the last week of term, we had a special visitor - the son of one of our Deputy Principals. We loved getting to know him! We then made gingerbread men cookies with him. He helped us roll the dough, use the cookie cutter and decorate our cookies. We had so much fun! We hope you will come visit again.

We later took pictures of our cookies and added words to describe them using one of our new favourite apps called Wordfoto.

Showing our personal best...

We have started studying about 'time'. Part of our homework was to find out what time we go to bed at night and wake up in the morning. 


SC, who was away sick today, decided to not only find this out, but write a story and email it to our teacher! We think he did such a fabulous job with his story!

We hope you enjoy his story too. 

You definitely showed your personal best, SC!


Zero Waste Wally

Elm Park School is an Enviro School. We are always thinking about making the right choice when it comes to recycling. We Reduce, Re-use and Recycle!

Our room was caught reducing by turning off our lights when we are not in the classroom. So we get to have one of our Enviro friends - Zero Waste Wally - in our class for 2 weeks. We are so thrilled! Here are some of the activities we enjoy sharing with Zero Waste Wally.


Getting to know Zero Waste Wally.

We love sharing our books with him.



He is having fun learning some games on our iPad!

How do you reduce, re-use and recycle?

Winter! Brrrr....

Not many people like winter. But in Room 5, we have been thinking of ways we can enjoy winter! We read a poem, sang a song, made some delicious, warm, hot chocolate, did some art and wrote some stories. 

We have been having so much fun learning about winter, we think we now like winter! 


Here is our song about winter.




Here are pictures of our stories and winter experiences!
