Final Event for the Year.

The tide was very high and we were trying to build sandcastles on the small area of sand with the waves racing up the beach towards us.  Brightwater School children and parents had a wonderful day at Rabbit Island on Monday. After lunch the children played lots of different games and the teams were  a mixture of children from throughout the school. During the afternoon it became really hot so everyone was very excited when they received a yummy "Juicy" to eat as it was a great way to cool off.
Most children were very tired at the end of the day but they had a fantastic time away from school!

Mix and Make Day

On Thursday afternoon Brightwater School children started Mix and Make. The first  thing I did was a lollipop reindeer.  I also did clay and I made lots of things. I also made a christmas cards. One card was for my mum and one was for Flo. Then I made a cute reindeer out of paper and dyed it.
We all did the fun stuff again on Friday morning and in the afternoon we walked around the class to see what cool stuff other people had made.

Amazing Christmas Cards

Room 1 made really cool Christmas Cards with Torin's Mum, Mel. You need two pieces of square wrapping paper and 2 pieces of square card. Then you need string and a glue stick. You also need a ruler as well to draw the lines for writing on. Next you need to fold the 3 pieces of card and you need the 2 pieces of wrapping paper and get the 2 pieces of card so you can stick them all together. We also put Christmas stamps on the cards and we can write a special message inside our cards. They look real cool.

Last Thursday Mel came into Room 1. She taught us how to make these Christmas Cards. You got a snap lock bag full of card and paper. We glued the coloured paper to the two pieces of card and cut the edges off. After we glued the edges we did heaps more but I can't remember all of it. We folded two pieces of card into quarters and then another one the other way. Before that we put lots of Christmas stamps on the pieces of card and drew lines in two places. 
Finally the cards were glued and tied together.

Pets Day

On last Friday Brightwater School had pets day and the children showed the people their pets and there were dogs, cats, lambs, turtles, rabbits, chooks, pigs too. The best pet that I liked was the chooks and some cute little white doves and they were my Grandmas doves. But when the big dogs came around one of the dogs did a poo on the grass right in front of us and it was yucky. Then we had the Dog and Duck show. The dog got the black ducks in one of the boxes and the white ducks in the other box and the dog crouched down on the ground and stared at the ducks. Caleb's big fluffy cat was massive.
 

It was an awesome day at school.
