People Who Help Us

Today the ASB team came to school to offer a sausage sizzle to help raise money for the St John's Ambulance. Some of us dressed up as doctors, nurses, firemen or police. These people work so hard to help our community every day!

The Planets

We have been learning about the planets this week and their orbit around the earth. We know a great song to help us remember the names. All the planets orbit the sun. Earth takes one whole year to go all the way around the sun. Everyday, it rotates around, giving us night and day. It takes 1 day and 1 night (24 hours) to do 1 rotation. Today, we illustrated the song by colouring, cutting and sticking the planets in order. We had to look carefully at the sounds in the planet names and use the labelling skills we have been practicing to help us. "What colour are the planets?" we wondered. Luckily, we found an i-pad app about the solar system to help us discover what they were. We think planet Earth has the best colours!

The Jump Song

As we explore more about the earth and the sun, we have been wondering what it might be like to be in space. Here is a fun song we have been dancing to to warm us up on cold days. Maybe you could warm up at home too!
