Jackson Class has been learning about our own identities
Here are our ‘All about me posters that we made and shared with our class. We shared what each one of us liked, our favourite food, show, sport and our birthdays.

Creative with Shapes
Milburn Class has been very creative with shapes. We used our imagination to create our own shape pictures.
Shapes
Room 1 is learning about different shapes. We made triangles, squares and rectangles. The kindy joined us too, and we had lot of fun making our favourite animal faces with shapes.
Celebrations
This term we are learning about celebrations. There are various ways to celebrate and people celebrate for different reasons.
ANZAC day is celebrated to remember the brave soldiers in the war. We celebrated by making a wreath with our hand print cut outs and poppies.
Then we celebrated Mother’s Day. We made special dough cakes for our mums.
