WELCOME BACK :)

Hi and welcome to Term  3. Don't ask me where the year has gone!!!. It was great to see all "my kids" back and smiling yesterday. Then when I looked around I saw that they weren't all back! Some of them are still enjoying their holidays!
I trust that everyone had/has a safe and enjoyable holiday and that all are ready to tackle Term 3 with joy and enthusiasm.
I am excited because we are concentrating on learning about Australia and what a beautiful and special place it is to live.  I also look forward to listening to each child sing me  Advance Australia Fair and I get to learn a few "new" lyrics ;)
We will be visiting the Zoo this Term, which is always fun and we get a visit from MacDonald's  farm where we can pat and cuddle the baby animals.
Our Class Assembly is set for week 3 and although nerve-racking, is always exciting.
I purchased a new "kid friendly" camera on the holidays and you can look forward to some interesting photos as the children learn to use it correctly!
Cheers >:) Mrs E.


Today we did the next part to our dinosaur prints. We painted them with orange and yellow edicol dye and they look amazing - what do you think?


Shannon and Taj were at the whiteboard and Taj drew this picture of him and Shannon playing together.


Mrs E drew a picture ofAustralia and we had to paint it with water colour paints. Then we drew a picture of ourselves, cut it out and glued it onto the map of Australia. Then we had to tell Mrs E some of the things we know about Australia. She wrote them around the map. Tomorrow Mrs E is going to put a little Australian Flag in our hands. Ella is very proud of her work.
