Caterpillars and cocoons

There was great excitment in Room 11 last week as we discovered our first coccon made by one of the monarch caterpillars that we are looking after. Keep watching the caterpillars everyday as it looks like 2 more are about to make their cocoons. We have drawn the caterpillars using tuxpaint or kidpix and you can see these, along with our writing about the caterpillars, on our Kidz Stuff blog.

We have also been helpng Tracy try out some of the new Interactive White Board activities she learnt about on conference last weekend. We shared some of these with our friends from Rutherford Street kindy who visited us on Friday morning. Here we are using the board during our maths knowledge starters.

This week is the last week of Term 1 but we will still be hard at work learning the sounds 'ai' as in 'train' and 'j'. On Wednesday we will be making some jelly to help us remember the action for 'j'. This week's tricky words are 'all' and 'do'. How many words can you think of that rhyme with 'all'? On Thursday we are having a special hockey lesson from a visiting coach and don't forget this is the last Walk to School Wednesday of the term.

Before we sign off we all want to say a big "HELLO" to Sam who is on holiday this week; we are all looking forward to hearing about your adventures next term.

Reminders
Monday: Library books due back
There will be no library books issued this week.
Wednesday: Walk To School Wednesday
Thursday 9th April: last day of Term 1
Monday 27th April: first day of Term 2

    We are glad the caterpillars are doing well. Our big swan plant has some greedy caterpillars on it! Charlotte, Emma and Sam H
