Looking for some awesome books on our Inquiry topic? You need look no further than our very own library... these books have been set aside for us all to share so enjoy them but remember to put them back neatly.

“Hi everyone, this is my new friend, Freddy. You may have seen him in the library. He loves reading too!  We have something exciting to tell you...the librarians are going to choose two people every lunch time who are showing fantastic library behaviour to put their names in a special box. At the end of term we will draw one name out and that person will get a special reading prize pack. Cool aye? So remember to read and walk quietly while you are in the library.”

Japan's Children's Day 5th May.

Today, Mrs Hutton visited and showed us how to make some origami art.  We decorated carp flags and made samurai hats.  Mrs Hutton also made some yummy sushi for us to enjoy.  The reason she came to visit is because on Saturday 5th May, Japan celebrates Children's Day  or Kodomo-no-hi.  This day use to be called Boy's Festival and was for celebrating boy's growing up, but now it has become a day to celebrate all children.
On this day, families with boys display dolls for the Boy's Festival dressed as warriors and heroes, and fly carp streamers.  We learned that carp are strong enough to swim up waterfalls and are symbols of success in life.
We had fun learning about Japan's Children's Day. 

Doumo arigatou gozaimasu Mrs Hutton.

ANZAC DAY - 25th APRIL 2012

Today we talked about ANZAC day and why we will not be coming to school on Wednesday. We made ANZAC biscuits because these were the biscuits mothers of the soldiers from New Zealand and Australia baked for their sons who were fighting during World War 1. They were packed in tins and sent by boat to where the soldiers were fighting. These biscuits were popular because they stayed fresher longer because of the coconut. Today we remembered the soldiers who fought for our country. The ANZAC biscuits we made were delicious.
