Week 3 Term 1 2009

As we have explored our class as a community we have begun to look at the community beyond our classroom by looking at the people who help us at school. One of these people is Mr Barnes, our property manager. We invited him into our class and asked him some questions ranging from what do you do each day? to What did you do before you came to work at our school? to What is your favourite thing to do at home?

Mr Barnes answered all our questions and even took us to show us all the equipment in his shed which included his ride on mower. We found out that his favourite job at school is mowing the lawn and his least favourite is cleaning the windows. There are jobs he has to do everyday and one of these is checking the quality of the water in the pool.(see photos above)


We have started drawing our families using kidpix and our handprint faces are now on display in our classroom along with our Who am I ? statements

On Tuesday it was with great excitement that we watched one of our hungry caterpillars twist and turn into a chrysalis. We were fascinated as this is something that not many of us had seen.

We have begun to explore how to use the class camera – learning to place our hand through the strap and hold it still while taking a photo. We started by taking a photo of a class member. See our results below

On Friday we met up with our buddy class - room 10 and met our ‘buddy’. We will spend time with them every Friday sharing our learning with each other.
