I spy

Can you find something that starts with every letter of the alphabet on our new mural?

Our New Mural

Our New Mural - slide show

Today our new mural was unveilled. Carolyn and her mural team spent many hours creating it. What a proud moment!

Rocket with Olivia

Wow - Rocket is good at balancing and doing handstands! What other tricks do you think he can do?

Bookshelf - Josh

I like "The Haunted Castle of Count Viper" because it is a spooky maze adventure with ghosts, vampires, skeletons, cats, foxes, rats and bats, and poison slugfish and spiders.
This book is in our school library.

Rocket with Taylor

Rocket had fun with Taylor. He liked her special clock. Can you remember how to tell the time? What time do you have dinner? What time do you go to bed?

Rocket Is learning to play musical instruments!

Rocket Plays Instruments - flash slideshow

Rocket had a musical time with Grace last night.
Great to see Rocket doing his music practice! Do you know what instruments he is playing?
Are you learning any instruments? Let us know.

Bookshelf - Katelyn

I like this book because it has a boy who thinks he is smart.
It has dinosaurs in too.

Measuring in Rockets!

Instead of measuring in centimetres or hands and feet we thought it would be fun to measure in Rockets! We made some cards the same length as Rocket. Then with a buddy we used the cards to measure things round the room. Here are some of our results:
Kai/Hunter - The computer is 2 and 1/2 Rockets long.
Michael - The table leg is 3 Rockets high.
Liam A/Zac - The pencil sharpener is 1/2 Rocket long.
Thomas/Cam C - The sliding door is 9 Rockets long.
Jade - The bookshelf is 4 Rockets long.
Taylor/Bella - My buddy is 20 Rockets tall.
Dean - The Big Book is 3 and 1/2 Rockets tall.

Get Firewise!

We are learning how to be Firewise. Ana showed Rocket where her Safe meeting place is at her house. Where is your safe meeting place? How are some other ways that you are firewise?

Rocket with Birthday Ben!

I wonder how many Rockets tall you are?

Bookshelf - Bella

I like this book because I have a pony called Greta at home. You can find this book in the blue box.

Helpful Rocket!

Rocket has been very helpful in the weekend. Look what he has been doing at Georgia's house. How did you help in the weekend? Let us know.

Practise Your Measuring Skills

Last week we measured in rods, hands, feet, blocks, steps and strides. Can you measure in centimetres now?

Looking Up, Down and Through

In Discovery Time this week our challenge was to take photos from different angles. Here are some of our first efforts taken around the playground. What do you think makes a good photo?

What a great adventure Rocket had at Arlo's place. I did not know he could crack codes!How do you think he used a mirror to crack the code?

Our Goals ThisTerm

Our Holiday Experiences

We brainstormed and shared all our holiday experiences. What a lot of different activities we did! Some children lost a tooth! What was your favourite activity?

Rocket on holiday at the farm

Rocket visited Ebony's mum on a farm in the holidays. He really liked meeting all the animals. What do you think Rocket enjoyed the best? Have you ever done some of the things Rocket got to do?

End of Holiday Challenge!
