Wal Walrus you are a star!

Wal has now been with us for three days. He has been a great help in the classroom. We have finished our fact files for Pinehill School and we will post them tomorrow.

Excellent persevering Matthew

Looks good Matthew! What Chinese number are you writing?

Calligraphy with Mrs. Steadman

Today in our library session we had a wonderful session learning how to draw Chinese characters. We used proper ink, rice paper and brushes that used wolf hair! We are so lucky to have Mrs. Steadman.

What fun we had

We searched around the classroom to find conductors and insulators. Rylee found that the tin of tennis balls made a great conductor. Tell us if you think of other things we could try.

Conductors and insulators

Jaden and Chase found that the pencil tin acted as a conductor. Next they are going to try the wall stapler.

Gymnastics

We just love gymnastic in Room 9.  Look at Toni concentrating. Look straight ahead, point your toes and balance carefully. You are an expert!

Here is Wal Walrus from Pinehill School. He is with us this week. He liked doing gymnastics with Room 9. Tamara is my email pen pal from Room 3 Pinehill School.
