Learning to Persist! Work as a Team!





Rooms 16,17,20 and 21 are learning to develop the "habit of mind" PERSISTING. We are going to have a developmental morning every second Friday where we are in groups of 4-6 children. We will rotate through a series of activities and challenges to help us in our persisting. Here are some photos of some of these activities. Get the children to explain to you what they had to do.

Smart Kiddies Maths - Home Learning!!!!

Hi there parents! I have set up a site which the children will be using in class at maths / free time called smart kiddies. It is absolutely fantastic. The children will get a password / username which only they will know and go in and practice lots of maths skills. Good for all the family! Go check it out. The children don't know their passwords yet but from tomorrow I will be introducing it to them. Good luck!!!!You can click here for a look see and explore. www.smartkiddies.com.au

Check Us Out on PhotoPeach

Hello and welcome to a new year and some new children in Room 16. We have a beautiful new classroom with lots of bright walls, a huge deck area and lots of windows to let the light in! We have begun the year solidly with lots of learning routines and talking about our expectations so we have a great year together. The children are delightful and I am really enjoying having them in my care. I look forward to seeing you all this Thursday for afternoon tea out on our back field!!!!!! See you soon Mrs Keightley.

What a Great Bunch of Learners!!!!
