We have NEW classmates!

Last week we were lucky enough to receive a special gift from Jaime's Grandmother, Mrs Felice. She bought us 6 silk worms! Can you believe it?? We will get to take care of them and watch them change over the next few weeks. How exciting!

If you have any mulberry bushes at home, can you please send in some fresh leaves??

Maths Week 5

Area

This week we had a look at area. We measured the surface area of different items in our classroom using different objects. We found that large objects worked better when we measured the surface area of big things like tables.

Veggie Patch

Kindy's Veggie Patch

On Tuesday afternoon Kindergarten decided it was time to sell some of their vegetables from their veggie patch. We picked as much lettuce as we could and got a handful of snowpeas.

Kindergarten decided to name their shop "Kindy's Veggie Patch" and bags full of lettuce were sold for $2 each. We spent the afternoon making signs to attract customers. Evie, Harry, Daisy and Ethan were our shop keepers for the day and had to make sure that our customers paid their $2 before they left our shop.

Altogether Kindergarten made $16 towards a new supply of seeds and seedlings. We have decided to grow tomatoes, carrots and strawberries. We will need to do a little research to see if they will grow at this time of year.

A BIG THANK YOU to all the parents and grandparents that supported "Kindy's Veggie Patch" by buying some fresh produce today :)

What do you think we should grow in our vegetable garden at this time of year???

Bye Bye Ducklings

Our Last Day Together

Today was our last day with our little friends. We had a little play with them in the morning and said our good byes. At 12.30pm our ducks were picked up and taken back to Windsor. We got a little upset, but we know they are getting too big for us to take care of them anymore. We will miss them very much!

Year 5 have been doing a fantastic job of filming and recording the changes our ducklings have been going through. We can't wait to see the final product!

Buddy Reading Program

Hi Kindy Parents! Just a reminder that the Buddy Reading Program is starting next Monday the 6th of August at 8.40am. We are meeting in the cola area outside the infants classrooms.

Kindy have been enjoying their soccer lessons with Coach Robbie. Each week they learn some new skills to help them out on the field.

News Time

ART NEWS

For news this week we were asked to bring in an artwork we had made. We shared how we made it with the class. It was fun!


Well Done Kindy! You are all very creative.
