George Street Normal School Athletics Day

Today we had our school athletics. We have been practising doing activities in teams with Miss Ross our college teacher. We got to try 9 different activities at the Caledonian, then we watched the big kids and teacher's relay races. What a fun, but tiring day.

The School Fair

During Term 3 we were very busy making things for the School Fair. We made lollipop people, sherbet and lollipop spiders. Can anyone spot a common theme? As the day got closer we became more and more excited. On the day of the fair there were so many things to do, look at and eat!! The things we made were set up on a table in Room 10 with the other things from the Junior Team. Our stall was very colourful and we had lots of customers. Hope you stopped by for a look.

Geometry - Area

Area is the amount of space a shape takes up. In Kindle 2, we measured some shapes on the floor using unconventional units.

 Four children can fit into this square lying down.

But, eleven children can fit sitting up!

 Four children can nearly fit into this triangle lying down.

 Nine children can fit sitting down.

The whole class can fit into this triangle standing up.

Which shape has the greatest area or takes up the most space?

Futsal

Today Michael and Dan from Football South came and helped Kindle 2 play a game of Futsal. It was the last of 4 skill sessions. It was great fun. Watch the video to see us in action.

Look what we have made

Snow Day

Brrrrrr........ school was closed today because of snow. I hope everyone was keeping warm at home. Mrs Dakers walked down to school and put some signs up on the main doors to tell people that school was closed, then waited for a while just to check that no one was dropped off. This is what the junior playground looked like:

Cheese Please

Miss McClintock taught us the poem 'Cheese Please' by Jill Eggleton. We made some little mice and recited the poem.

I don't want fish
to eat, eat, eat.

I don't want spinach
and I don't want meat.

I don't want apples
and I don't want peas.

I am a mouse
and I want cheese.
