ICT Suite

Hi Parents and Caregivers,

Today we went into the ICT Suite. We are learning to use Kidpix to draw sunflowers for our garden signs. Next week we will be going to the garden and planting our sunflowers. We will put our signs beside our sunflowers in the garden.

Thank you, Room 22

 

Athletics Day, Tuesday Week 4

Hi Parents and Caregivers,

Today we had Athletics day. It was so much fun. We got to go around different activites and compete against our class members. At the end of the day our top two girls and our top two boys competed against the rest of the syndicate in running. Maksis came third out of all the first year students. Well done Maksis. Athletics day was so much fun. A big thank you to all the parents and caregivers who helped us out during the day. You were all amazing and a massive help to the Room 22 teachers.

Thank you,
Room 22, Nikki & Kyle.

Grass Heads, Friday Week 3

Hi Parents and Caregivers,

Today we made grass heads.

'I like my grass head and think it looks cool because I put my favourite colours on it'. Ryan
'I like my grass head because it has pink eyes. I like pink'. Maya
'I like the head because its going to grow grass'. Aaliyah
'I like my grass head because it looks beautiful' Marshall

Instructions: Step 1: Cut off an 8" (20cm) section of stocking that includes the toe. (You could also use a "tube section" that doesn't include the toe - you'd just have to tie a knot in one end to close it, then turn it inside-out to hide the knot.) Step 2: Stretch the stocking over a large cup or mug, and spoon in about 2 teaspoons full of grass seeds. Step 3: Pack in some sawdust or potting soil. Aim for the head to be roughly tennis ball sized. Step 4: Tie a knot to close the end. No need to cut off the dangly bit. Step 5: You can make a bulbous nose or ears by grabbing a bit of stocking and twisting. Fasten base of the nose with some thread or a small rubber band. Step 6: Decorate! Use fabric scraps or permanent marker to decorate the face, and coloured paper to make the yoghurt container into a dress or a suit or whatever you like - get creative! Just make sure that any glues or markers you use for the head are water-proof.

Thank you, Room 22

Music, Thursday Week 3

Hi Parents and Caregivers,

Today we spent the morning in the music room. We are learning the song 'One Seed' which relates to our topic about Gardening. First we sang the song and then we glued the song into our Maths books. We really enjoy singing the song.

Here is the song we learnt:

One Seed
C                        Am          F                G
There once was a seed that decided to grow 
C                   Am              F
While others laughed and teased    
C            Am           F              G
But that seed just wouldn’t say “no”
      C         F          C
In itself it truly believed
Chorus
              F                                 C
It took one seed to make a difference
               F                                C
It took one seed to grow up tall
               F                                     C
It took one seed to have the courage
   C     G                C
One seed that’s all 
 C                    Am        F             G
The seed took root and grew real tall
               C        Am               F
While the others laughed and teased
      C                             F       G 
You won’t last long  You’ll only fall
              C            F       C
Yet the seed grew into a tree
Chorus
Now that tree is fully grown
And now it’s making seeds
Strong enough it won’t be long
As they grow up into trees
Chorus
Next time that you’re seeking shade
And find it under a tree
Remember that seed and the risk it made
How it grew for you and me

Thank you, Room 22
