In Class One we have been learning lots of great Nativity songs, recorder tunes, lyre melodies and verses in preparation for our class play.

Using instruments, props and costumes to tell this seasonal story is giving us lots of opportunity for team work, encouragement and creativity, and we are having lots of laughs too!

We had a wonderful 3 weeks with Bree visiting to do her practicum through Curtin University.  We participated in lots of maths and literacy activities.

One of our favourites was parachute games to learn sounds and letters which you can see in the photos.

Earlier in the term we had Inoke, Sofia and Leo’s grandma Di visit, to show us how to use the spinning wheel.  It took a bit of creativity and innovation to get all the parts in working order.

She showed us how silk, sheep fleece and alpaca fleece can be spun into wool.  We all had a go at spinning the raw wool by hand by rubbing it against our legs.

We have also had our last birthday for the term so we are all now officially 7 and we know the birthday verses and poems off by heart – especially our own version of A.A. Milnes 'Now we are Six' which we extended to include 7!
