"Got them!" said Reuben 

The big dig!  Well done Zidane and Reuben.

Fairy Bread

We made fairy bread on Friday.  We had to give really clear instructions to Mrs Jimmink so she could learn how to make it.

Here are the instructions;
1.  Take one piece of bread and spread butter on using a knife.
2.  Use a spoon to spread a good covering of sprinkles onto the bread.
3.  Cut the bread into quarters.
4.  Eat it.

"Delicious" said Shuun

The big thumbs up from Holly and Arabella.

Look at us making our fairy bread.

Oral Language

On Fridays as part of our oral language, the children share their kindy or pre-school folders.  There is a happy buzz in the room as the children revisit their learning and share their journey with their peers.  

Look at us sharing our learning journey.

Kya and Arabella are looking at Arabella's learning journey.

2013 - First Post

Welcome to Room 12 where we have been launched into learning.
Over the next few weeks we are learning all about how to be a great learner at Nayland Primary School.
We have some exciting opportunities coming up soon.  We are going to the Suter Art Gallery on 27th February.  Please keep this morning free as we will need some lovely helpers.
We look forward to sharing our learning with you all here.

Suter Art Gallery

Yesterday we went to the Suter Art Gallery to see their exhibition MALU MINAR (SEA PATTERN )ART OF THE TORRES STRAIT. This exhibition celebrates the energetic work of Torres Strait artists. Each of the artists in Malu Minar have drawn on personal and collective knowledge, the instructions, guidance and lessons taught, instilling in them the strength and importance of their culture. The exhibition features headdresses, masks, dance machines, linocuts and textiles. While at the gallery, we worked in groups to make a mask using ideas from the exhibition. The children thoroughly enjoyed their learning at the Suter.

Folk Dance

During WOW week we learnt some folk dancing. The whole Junior Syndicate got to have a try. Folk dancing made us feel happy and we felt very puffed when we had finished. Look at us dancing.

Rhythm Interactive

Finally the day arrived for us to experience playing the African drums. We were very excited. When we went into the hall there were so many drums to choose from. We got to play them while we waited for everyone to get settled. It was very noisy. Have a look at us playing the drums. We learnt how to play rhythmic patterns by echoing the instructor. Next we are going to be making our own drums in class. We will paint terra-cotta pots and then put skins on them.
