Singular and Plural

Assembly

What a great assembly on Friday! 

Thank you to our wonderful presenters... 

Messages from the student council: 

Disco & Joke and Dress up Friday For The Blog

Disco: The Disco was very successful and almost all of the food was sold. Thanks to all the parent and helpers that helped with the Disco!

Toy Swap:  The toy swap went successfully!!!

For the end of the term, on Friday the 25th we will be having Joke and Dress up Friday!!!

Joke and Dress up Friday, is where you can bring in a joke and you can dress up as whatever you like. The student council will pick some jokes that they liked and read them out to the whole school. The winners (1 from each base group) will get a big chocolate frog, but don’t worry, you get a little chocolate frog for participating! :)  You could dress up as a… Fairy, Pirate, Bird, Animal, Princess, Prince, Your friend, Your favourite book, tv or cartoon character

Or any other ideas that you may have! We hope to see lots of jokes and costumes next Friday!

What is success?

WHAT IS SUCCESS? EVERYONE SEEMS TO THINK ABOUT IT QUITE DIFFERENTLY! SOME PEOPLE THINK THAT MONEY OR FAME EQUALS SUCCESS, IS THERE MORE TO IT THAN THAT?

We Love Buddy Reading

The White Tail Spider

This is a book about The White Tail Spider. After we read the book, we did a KWL chart. K stands for what we know, W stands for what we want to find out and L stands for what we learned. We knew that they bite their prey, we found out that white tail spiders are 12-15mm long, and we have learned that they go hunting for other spiders.
