POETRY COMPETITION TODAY!

Check out these Bellbird finalists!

They are so pleased with themselves.

Lots of butterflies in the tummy

 before presenting to the whole school.

Emily and Brearna have only just started school.

What an amazing job.

Olivia had massive butterflies in her tummy.

They went away quickly 

and she was so proud to stand up and present.

The Year One and Two winners!!

Well done Maisie (Year 2) and Brearna (Year1)

Check out the medals!

A huge well done to all The Bellbirds 

who stood in front of the class to recite their poems.

It is always a hard job to decide the finalists.

Well done Bellbirds for being so good at helping tidy up today.

Brave Birds

We are getting braver everyday.

We love seeing your confidence grow over the Term.

A visit to the Ashley Playcentre

A few Bellbirds went for a walk to the Ashley village

 to visit our Playcentre friends.

We made play dough for the children.

We added all the ingredients and shared the mixing.

Warm, new playdough always feels good!

Rachael found the musical instruments.

Sione found a skeleton!!

Lots of good sharing happened.

Emily found fun toys too.

Thank you to Joel's Mum for walking with us.

Next Tuesday the children from the Playcentre 

will come to visit us here at school.

Owls, Owls, Owls!!

We have learned a lot about owls over the past two weeks.

Discovery time had many creative choices.

Owls to colour.

Owl masks.

  

Sam has enjoyed making colourful owls too.

Great job Sam.

We were busy with the hot glue guns

 to create owls using tins, old CD's, bottle tops and twigs. 

Joel had an idea for us as well. 

We used the ink pads to print using our fingers.

Another great week with The Bellbirds working well together.

Everyone is remembering the REACH values.

Please note that these words are not for all Bellbirds! Only if you read in the Literacy space with Mrs.Treacy and Mrs. O'Loughlin. 

How about a new goal for you all this week. I noticed some Bellbirds were not picking up their own things and rubbish today.

Other Bellbirds had to do it for them!!!

I checked the goals in

 "The Nest" today.

"Helping keep the classroom tidy" is one of our goals!!

Oops! We all need to try harder.

Can you be a tidy Bellbird?

We can't wait to see it!!!

Always a hoot!

 This week we began our inquiry learning about Owls!

Some of us already know quite a bit and have been great at sharing our ideas with others!

We used our white hats to find facts out about owls.  We watched a  

youtube video about owls  and  read some school  library books to help us find some information. 

I wonder what we might find out next?  

Do you have any questions about owls?

Check out the cool torn paper owls we made for Art. 

 We were very careful to do our best job.  They look terrific!

The dress ups caused quite a lot of excitement at Discovery Time today.  We haven't had them out in a while and they were so, so popular.  We were very responsible and remembered to look after them and put them away at the end of Discovery.  We will have them out again very soon!

 

And yet another proud Bellbird!  

Most improved player at rugby  this week!

Hey! It's Joel. Looks to me like he has been a very clever chicken.............(or maybe that's BELLBIRD).

Thank you for sharing this great trophy with us!!

Well done to the Bellbirds who sang in the Junior Choir preschool visit today. It was fun.

You represented Ashley School extremely well.

Have a lovely week birdies.
