February Highlights

It seems that P/1C have developed some great habits - we have had enough bankers to win us the Bankers of the Week cup for February. Well done!


The latest activity of unwrapping bubble gum, chewing it to make it soft, flattening it out, wrapping it around our tongues and trying to blow it into big bubbles was a lot harder than we thought. We were able to write about the whole thing 'though - funny pictures to follow soon.































When the Grade Ones get together each week they get up to some wonderful activities - lately they have made their own Sun Smart hats. This involved using pencil and string to draw a circle before decorating and cutting it out.



















The whole school took part in a tabloid sports morning to celebrate a positive start to the school year at Kerrimuir. Each student was in a team with others from Prep to Grade 6 and played their part very capably on what was a very hot and sticky morning!


















In class we begin the week with sharing weekend news before writing in our diaries. This is also a great way to get to know each other, and to find out about each others' interests.

























































During the warm, sunny weather we have been learning how to use the play equipment as part of a fitness circuit, as well as improving our skills with hoops, bean bags, balls and skipping ropes. We also run races and play games on our fantastic Fun and Fitness Ground area.

Introducing P/1C

Hello and Happy New Year!
Welcome back to the Grade 1s and a big 'Hello!' to the new Preps at Kerrimuir. Here are the Preps.







The Grade 1 crew.

We enjoyed decorating hats to wear at Melbourne Cup day barbecues. Brooke's hat must have been a lucky one as her horse won the race!

Mr Blamey brought his Lego kits to school again and this time the Preps made paper- crimping machines. As usual it took nimble fingers and a lot of perseverance.

Prep A has begun Term 4 with its usual energy and enthusiasm, winning the Specialists' Cup for the third time this year. Top effort everyone!!!! Mrs P is proud of you.






The final weeks of Term 3 were very busy. We really enjoyed listening to Moomintroll adventures and making our own Moomins. By the end of term we had a huge 'family' of Moomintrolls, Snorkmaidens, Moominpapas and one Moominmama to take care of them all!
As all this was going on we were practising for our contribution to Kerrimuir's annual 'Springtime Spectacular'. As we were going to sing 'The Best Gift of All' we decided to make some shiny hearts for props. On the night we all had butterflies in our tummies but everyone sang beautifully and remembered to smile. Great stuff!

Book Week

On Friday morning the whole school joined in a costume parade. The idea was to dress up as a book character.
'Today was Dress Up Day. I came as Pippi Longstocking and my Buddy came as a hotdog. We had a parade. I saw a princess and she had long hair. Mrs Pollock came as Mary Poppins.' Brooke

'Today was Dress Up Day and the pirates looked good. Some people looked scary. Some wore very good costumes and some were very funny. The funniest thing was the Bananas. I saw the Cat in the Hat and Thing 1 and Thing 2.' Mitchell

I came as Belle. There was a parade and I like the Tinkerbelle costume. Abigail
