Getting Along
Last week all the Prep classes sang at Assembly. Considering this was their first performance they showed great enthusiasm and all wore their happiest smiles. The Gabby Get Along song was full of good advice about how to be considerate towards friends.

Apples Galore!
The Grade 1s have been concentrating on enriching their writing with suitable adjectives. After examining apples closely in 'Onesville' (Wednesday afternoon special Grade 1 get together time) they were encouraged to write about their activities, or to write a short creative piece about this fruit.
Here are some examples:

'Mrs V brought in apples. One was spckled, one was sour, one was sweet, one was juicy and one was shiny. Mrs V made a star shape. I ate it and it was hard and crunchy.' Chloe



'One day I went outside to play in my back garden and I found a magic apple. It flew over my head and I said 'Wow!' It was a space apple. I shook my head but it was real. I followed it. It took me to the biggest tree with so many apples. I ate an apple. It was tasty so I had another one. I loved them so much! I loved them because they were juicy and sweet. My favourite, favourite one was yellow and red.' Abi

'Last week I got a very wobbly tooth. I eat an apple every day but it's too hard with a wobbly tooth. One day my mum just pulled my wobbly tooth and it fell out. I like all apples but the juicy ones are yummy.' Eric


'One day I found an apple in my lunch box at snack time. What a treat! I was so excited because it was a magic apple. What a mysterious apple. My apple had red, green and yellow skin! The apple grew feet and arms and eyes and it ran away. I shrank and the apple was too big for me to eat anyway.
The best thing about apples is that they are juicy and crunchy.' Amber
