Folk Dancing

On Friday we got together with our buddy class and did some folk dancing. Our first dance was The Bird Dance. It was fun!

Our Buddy Class from Room 4 are  Year 4's (standard 2).

And around we go....change direction...



Get those wings flapping to the music.



We were moving so fast that the camera couldn't catch us!!

DISCOVERY  LEARNING

For the first 5 weeks of the term, each Friday between 11.30 and 12.30 the Junior School have Discovery Learning. This is where the children get to create, discover and learn, focussing on the Key Competencies of Managing Self; Relating to Others; Participating and Contributing; Language, Symbols and Texts; and Thinking.  They choose where they would like to go. There is woodwork, construction, IT, building technology , dress ups, water play, art, stitchery and science experiments. The children love Friday. I was lucky enough to get to wander around and see what everyone was up to.


Room 10 is popular for art and craft.

You get to use paint, glue, glitter and pastels.

a plane with seats and gave out food.
