B is for biscuit

This week in Room 6 we read a great journal story called Anzac Biscuits by Phillippa Werry.  We have done a lot of work all week on this story and the children have been developing some good topic vocabulary, they have done lots of inquiring and even wrote summaries of the story.

Today as a Friday fun activity we followed the recipe in the journal story and made the Anzac Biscuits.

The children have a good understanding of the history behind Anzac Biscuits, so ask them about what they have learnt this week.  I think you might find that one cookie each wasn't enough - so if you feel like trying them at home, here is the recipe from our story...

N is for Netball

Our netball skills lessons have been really fun.  We have learnt all kinds of good skills and we put it altogether today with a game.  Nice work kids.

A is for Anzac

With Anzac Day tomorrow, I hope you all have a lovely three day weekend.  It's been a great start to Term 2 in Room 6, I was so impressed by all the children this week.  The behaviour has been fantastic and it has been a pleasure working with the children.

Our Big Idea is Past, Present and Future this term.  We will be focusing on Their Stories, Our Stories with WW1 and what life was like 100 years ago as the focus.  We spent time this week looking at the meaning behind why we celebrate Anzac Day.  We made a poppy wreath for the Fields of Remembrance Service.  The children all showed respectful behaviour at the service, and it was a opportunity for them to be a part of this nationwide commemoration.
