Easter Craft Fun!

Students have been learning some valuable skills this week.  We began by learning weaving for our Easter baskets – and also braiding for pipe cleaner handles.  We used yellow tissue paper which we collaged over styrofoam eggs.  When we added the details they became these adorable little baby chicks.

We then took pipe cleaners, google eyes, and pom poms and created these cute little bunnies on another set of styrofoam eggs.

These will be placed amid a bed of ‘craft grass’ in their Easter baskets (maybe with a few chocolate treats).  Ask your child which craft was the hardest to do.  You may be surprised by their answer.

Happy Easter!!!!

Fun with Centres

Students have been working very hard this term on their academic subjects so I wanted to share some of the fun activities that they have been enjoying during their play-based times.  As I am sure you are aware, a great deal of important learning occurs when children interact with each other in socially co-operative ways.  Check out a few of our ‘centres’:

Cars racing around a well designed track,

some little friends dropped by to play,

and there was a verrrrry interesting dinosaur book!

Breakfast TV Date & Time

You should have received a pink half-sized notice today telling you of the date and time of the airing of our segment on Breakfast TV.  In case it went missing, the date is Monday, April 9th – approximately at 8:45 a.m.  Luckily Monday is a school holiday and we are home to see it.  I have already set my PVR!  I hope you get a chance to see it.
