We have some monarch caterpillars on the swan plant in our classroom, last week one of the caterpillars turned into a chrysalis. We are patiently waiting for it to come out as a butterfly. Watch this space!

A visit from Winnie and Tilly

Mrs Gounder brought 2 baby goats (kids) named Winnie and Tilly to school on Friday. They had soft fur and bleated when they played together. The goats drank milk and were very friendly. Winnie and Tilly are only 3 weeks old and we saw their umbilical cords.

Trip to the Vegetable Garden

We  have been learning all about plants in room 20. We are learning about all different types of plants and growing our own too!  We wanted to look at lots of different types of plants so we decided to visit the vegetable garden. If you see us around school ask us about seeds, germination, the parts of plants and the jobs they do to find out more!

Take a look at what we saw and took photos of to document our observations

Looking at String Instruments with Mr Bermingham

Mr Bermingham came to room 20 last week and taught us about string instruments. 

We got to see all different types of string instruments such as the guitar, mandolin and ukelele. We  learnt about the parts of string instruments and listened to the different sounds that they can make. 

In room 20 we love singing and playing music!

Book Character Parade

Room 20 students transformed into wonderful book characters last week for the book character parade! 

We had the Queen of Hearts, Alice, Spiderman, Captain America, Piri, a Storm Trooper and a minecraft man in our classroom!

Congratulations Aiko for getting best dressed in room 20 as the Queen of Hearts!

Book Week

Next week is Book Week. We will be having lots of exciting things happening over the week. 

There will be a book fair happening over the entire week, so remember to bring in your old books this week to get your golden tickets!

On Thursday we will have the book parade where you come dressed as your favourite character from a book. I can't wait to see everyone in room 20 dressed up as their favourite book character!

Make sure to come to the popcorn and pyjama night with your family for a night of wonderful stories.

Also look out for some of the exciting competitions happening around the school. 

Water Safety

Room 20 has been learning how to be safe in and around the water. 

We can spot the hazards near rivers, lakes and wharfs. 

The Water Cycle

Room 20 has been learning about the water cycle. 

We conducted an experiment on evaporation and condensation. 

We put water in a zip lock bag and stuck it to our classroom window. The sun heated the water in the bag causing evaporation. That water vapor then cooled down which caused condensation on the side of the bag. 

Maths Challenge

Room 20 students have been doing lots of morning maths challenges set by Danielle and Agnes. Thanks to our maths buddies, we love solving  our challenges!

Coastguard Visit

We had a very special visitor come to our school. The coastguard Mrs Heer taught all the year 1 and 2 classes about what a coastguard does and how we can be safe out at sea. We learnt that we need to wear a life jacket and to make sure it fits properly.

Punctuation Karate

Room 20 has been learning a new style of karate...punctuation karate! 

Punctuation karate helps us to recognise punctuation in books we read and to use punctuation in our writing. 

States of Matter

We are learning about the three states of matter, liquid, solid and gas.  We pretended we were particles (the tiny tiny building blocks that make up everything in the world).

 We can move like a liquid. We are close together but can move past each other. 

We can move like a solid. We are very close together.

We can move like a gas. We are far apart and move fast.

AFL

We have been learning to play AFL. 

Look at them go! 

Cross Country Training

We have been training for our cross country run in week 5 and the fun run at the end of term 2. 

We are warming up.

We are stretching our mussels so we don't get injuries. 

We are learning to pace ourselves so we can run even further!.

Remember to keep up all the good work you have been doing fundraising for our new sports uniforms. Ask all your friends and family to sponsor the fun run.

We are learning to float like a star fish.
