Our new cross

Tessa Lyes and Paul Price organised their art class to make crosses for all of the rooms at St Marys.

Room 2's Solar System

We are learning about space so today we pretended to be the planets and the sun and the earth's moon. Then we went around the sun, and the moon went around the earth. We had to stay the same distance from the sun the whole way around.

Religious Education homework

We have been learning about the sacrament of baptism this week. Could everyone make sure pages 37 - 39 are complete please. The new children to Room 1 have been given copies of these pages. RE books must be back at school each morning.

Here is Andrea, Neve, Jasmine and Amelia sharing some of their baptism mementos.

PMP

Last week we started PMP. We have it on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursdays. Our parents come and help so if you have some spare time at 2.15 on these days please come.

Term 2's Disco

The last Thursday of Term 2 we had a disco. Lot's of children came and some of the parents. We dressed up as something beginning with P. We had Kelly the pumpkin, Liam the prop, Jake the pirate, Adam, Shari and Mrs Schroder in their Pjs, Andrea the photographer, Marty and Jacob the pop stars, Pia the poodle, Neve the pussy cat, Jasmine the Polka dot,and Princess Grace, Amelia, Breanna and Rebecca.
There were rainbow lights, treats, and a smoke machine.

Fish and Chips

Today we went to Porky's Fish and Chip shop and got some chips. We all sat at the tables and ate our chips but we didn't have fish. After we finished our chips we walked down to the park. At the park we played on the playground. On the way home we had a race to the grandstand and then we walked back to school.

Safe Walking

On Thursday Constable Jos and Constable Teri showed us how to walk safe across the road. We learnt how to walk across the pedestrian crossing properly. We went around the block of the school. When we were crossing to go around the block back to school there wasn't a pedestrian crossing. When we got back we talked about the road rules.

Tractor Trek for Cancer Kids

We walked down to the beach to see all of the tractors come past. A police car with his lights on was first and then a fire engine followed by all of the tractors.

The student of the week was Jacob and he got to sit on a tractor and they started it up. Jacob said it felt real good. After that we all sat in the tractor.
