Year Review

This year I really enjoyed it when Constable Ross came to school. I thought it was really funny when Boston got mixed up. I have enjoyed PE this year. Lastly I have liked the library this year.

I enjoyed painting because it is fun. I liked Jump Jam because I like dancing. I liked mixing colours because I like painting. I like fitness because I like Line Tag.
By Jumana

This year I did PMP. I liked the balance board the best at PMP. I also liked doing the milk experiment. But I liked doing the production the best because I was a teacher and a dancer.

We went to see Harold. He was in a truck. He taught us to be Healthy.

I enjoyed when Constable Ross came here to teach us about being safe. I enjoyed going to Starfish with Shannon. It was fun. I enjoyed doing athletics and I came second.

This year we have been doing painting. I like doing painting because it tickles my finger. I also liked the production because my friend Natasha was one of the teachers. I liked swimming the most because the water was cool.
By Kora


I liked doing experiments this year. I liked doing the ice cream experiment and the milk experiment. I didn’t like the egg experiment because it didn’t really work properly. I liked doing PMP as well because we did the eye tracking and I liked swinging the ball.

Volume and Capacity. We are learning how to compare the volume of two containers by packing or pouring.


We had fun in the sandpit and using the water trough today exploring how much different containers could hold.
I used a tablespoon to measure how many tablespoons of water fit in this cup.


10 cups of sand fit in the bucket.


We used a scoop to fill this container.

Today we explored what colours we can make using only red, blue and yellow.

We discovered if we mixed red and blue together it turned to either purple, indigo or violet.

When we mixed blue and yellow it turned green.

Yellow and red made orange.

If we were really careful with dabbing our fingers in the paint we could keep the primary colours clean.
