On Tuesday 7th April all the lower school had a wonderful excursion to Whiteman Park. In the morning we were able to touch lots of different Australian animals and after lunch we watched the farm show. We saw a sheep being shorn and Hannah's mum was very good at whip cracking.
Mrs Turner and Mrs Burette are having fun in the newly painted cubby.
Our silkworms have been growing rapidly over the break and the children are waiting expectantly for them to spin their cocoons.The year ones are producing an amazing power point presentation on the silkworm's life cycle. Our veggie garden has also been growing well and the snow peas are very popular. There is also much anticipation about our excursion this term. We are off to Cicerellos to learn about sea life. We're also going to have fish and chips for lunch when we are there.Yum!
Welcome back to school everyone. We hope you all had a great holiday and are well rested and ready for the final busy term for 2008. At the end of last term, the Year 1/2 class worked very hard gathering facts and data from informational texts, internet sites and other sources to produce a written project, as well as a diorama of a native Australian animal, in its natural habitat. These dioramas are now displayed in the school Library and Office for those who would like to see them.
The Pre-Primary / Year Ones proudly showed off their bridges that they had contructed as part of their technology project. Everyone was impressed, even Mrs Nottle!
Welcome back everyone. Hope you are all rested and ready for our next year of learning. The children worked so well in their first week despite the P.P.s first day being very hot and their next day being wet, restricting their outside play. Year One homework will start week 2.
Welcome back after the holidays and I hope everyone is rested and ready for a busy last term. I enjoyed my time in Queensland and am looking forward to seeing the children again. The photo was taken at their assembly on the last day of Term 3. I have watched the video and think they all did a great job and so obviously enjoyed themselves.
It's Spring again! Our silkworm eggs have hatched again and are growing rapidly. The children are looking forward to being able to pick them up when they are big enough.
This week the PP/1 students became vulcanoligists.They discovered how to make a volcano with vinegar, bi-carb and red food colouring. The resulting eruptions caused much amazement and excitement.
Welcome back everyone. Hope everyone had a relaxing and energising holiday.
This term, the PP/Year1 class are welcoming Mr Todd Bevan into our classroom. He is completing his student teacher internship with us for this term and we hope he enjoys his time at O.G.P.S.
We will have our reading books back this week ready for homework again. Could P.P. parents please send back Portfolios asap including a comment for your child.
Looking forward to a rewarding term.
The Pre-Primaries and Year Ones looked great in their frog hats for their assembly.They sang The Tadpole Blues.
