Ozzy was delighted to take his certificate home.

We are learning our alphabet and singing the alphabet song as we go.

Our poem this week was about our silver scaled dragon with jaws flaming red, he waits at my elbow to toast my bread - so we had to make and eat toast! We used it for our literacy language work and described carefully using our five senses.

Tasting, touching and smelling our toast...

Addison read a book to us!

He read it so beautifully the Kindy wanted him to read for their circle time when we visited - he was fabulous!

We have been sorting animals according to their coats...

Working in small groups is exciting.

Many of the children helped in construction.

Out class is super!

I would love a pig - would you?

We hope you like our photos - there are many more in the classroom and the foyer where your children hang their bags, please feel free to come into Room One and enjoy them, you can also read your children's comments about the animals.
A big thank you to parents who were able to assist with lifts and to Dave and Vicky from Animal Farm for hosting us so well. There were so many animals to enjoy, do go back with your children on a good sunny day and let them show you around!
