Sarah’s Class Term 2 Week 10
Hi folks….
We’ve had an extremely quiet time this week with 5-6 children away each and every day – a couple overseas and the others – very unwell! So, we did a fair amount of chillin!! The group were supported by Amanda on Monday and ventured to Lane Cove library. They also looked at 2D Nets of shapes, recognised the 3D shape and its name. On Tuesday, we had the last of our PE choices and watched a magnificent min-concert in Wendy’s. It was so wonderful to see such an array of ages and performers. There were singers, dancers and musical instruments played. Congratulations to everyone who were courageous to get up and give it go!
Wednesday, we did some drawing and copied some instructional videos on how to draw… a hummingbird, minion, hot air ballon and ice cream. As Crafty was away sick this week we snuck in to the craft room on Wednesday afternoon and then again on Thursday. My ‘small’ group of children sat around the table chatting away whilst supporting eachother using hot glue guns, stanley knives and balsa wood to co-create various different sculptures. I took musical requests and enjoyed listening and observing them with their collaborations.
Thursday, I’m sure you’ve all heard about the Reptile show which was pretty spectacular and we did our Big clean-up. On Friday, it was lovely to welcome Amber back for the day and sad to say farewell to Sebie and his family. A walk up the street to buy lunch and a movie was a befitting end.
Next term, in the 2nd week, I have an excursion booked to the Museum of Sydney then Hyde Park Barracks. On Tuesday, 30th July, a bus will pick us up in the morning and drop us off at the Museum where we will have a look at an Aboriginal art exhibition. We will then stop off at The Botannical Gardens for a bite and make our way up to Hyde Park Barracks for a tour and experience as… ‘Life as a child convict’. The bus will collect us from this venue and transport us back to school. I will have 2 spots on the bus for 2 parent helpers. Let me know if you are free and would like to join us for the day. Should be a great historical experience.
Thankyou, to Jennifer (Lexi’s mum) who has kindly offered to take over as our class parent rep.
I think thats all apart from saying… have a restful break and I’ll see you for Term 3 on Wednesday, 24th July.
Love, Sarah
