How to Make Cup Cakes!

The Preps and Grade 1s spent a fabulous Friday making cup cakes and then writing about the process. The reward for all the hard work was EATING THE CUP CAKES OF COURSE!!!

Writing, writing, writing!

After the Grade 1 bubble gum blowing session we
wrote about the experience in the procedural format - here are some of the results.............

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

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.
