Year 1 @ Craigburn P S Learning in Room 3 

Mrs Nelson has needed to leave her wonderful past (and future) Year 1 Craigburn Primary School students behind for a year.

Can you guess where Mrs Nelson might be during 2012?

Here is Mrs Nelson on yard duty.

On this day the temperature was -10.

Mrs Nelson is living in a new country during 2012.

Here is the flag. Do you know what country it is? 

If you guessed Canada you are right.

Mrs Nelson is living in Alberta Canada.

She is teaching Grade 3 at Janet Johnstone School.

Visit the Janet Johnstone School website for more information.

Celebration Night is an important tradition at Craigburn Primary. It is exciting to have the whole school come together to perform in celebration of a successful year for  a large audience of family and friends.

Room 3 joined with their neighbours in Room 4 and with Miss Harry’s Room 20 class to perform ‘Everyday is a Party’.

It was a happy sparkly performance.

We have had a very busy year working alongside our Room 4, Year One neighbours.  Year one has been fun and fulfilling. We look forward to continuing our life’s journey as confident learners.

We hope you enjoy viewing a smilebox presentation of some Highlights of our 2011 year!

Friday is the last day for the 2011 Room 3 family to all be together.

Aimee is leaving to spend her Christmas with her Nanny and Grandad in England. (Her Nanny and Grandad are regular commenters on our blog)

We were spoilt today when Aimee gave each of her Room 3 classmates a farewell bag of lollies.

Thank you Aimee. Have a wonderful trip to England with your mum and dad and Evan.

Earlier in the year Room 3 students participated in the Premier’s Be Active Challenge.

Our challenge was to be active for at least an hour on any 5 days in a week. We had to achieve this for 4 weeks. We kept a log book of our activity. At the end of the challenge we felt fit and healthy.

Today we felt very proud when Mrs Pettman, our school Be Active Coordinator, presented us with our medals. We received a bronze medal for completing the challenge for our first year.

Father Christmas is on his way!

While you are waiting for him to arrive check out our new Christmas page.

You’ll find some Christmas games to play while you’re waiting for Christmas Day.

Today was Sports Expo Day for the Early Years students at Craigburn. Mr Hanna and Mrs Pettman worked together to organise a sensational day for us. Sports Expo is part of PE Week celebrations at Craigburn.

Today the students got to have a go at trying lots of new sporting activities. We got to try – Tennis, Taekwondo, Zumba, Wheelchair netball, Be Active Earth Ball, Little Athletics, Baseball, Golf and Korfball – what an exciting day!

It was wonderful seeing everyone having a try – some activities were harder than others but no-one gave up trying.

Our special day would not have been possible without the help and support of the instructors – Ian, Darren, Josh, Megan, Paul, Mr B, Mr C, Chris, Jason and Amy. Our enthusiastic thanks go to them and to Mr Hanna and Mrs Pettman.

On Wednesday we celebrated the culmination of our Unit Term 3 Inquiry – Planning a Trip – by taking the trip.

The Unit’s students had all voted on the destination – The Adelaide Hills – to visit The Big Rocking Horse and Melba’s Chocolate Factory.

We had a sensational day.

Thanks to Graham in the Toy Factory for explaining how the wooden toys are made. We were amazed to see how rough pieces of wood were transformed into smooth wooden toys. After our tour we just loved spending time shopping for souvenirs in the Toy Factory Shop.

It was thrilling to climb to the top of the BIG Rocking Horse.

We had fun feeding the hungry animals in the Wildlife Park.

It was exciting when we arrived at Melba’s Chocolate Factory and saw all the lollies and chocolates they had in the shop. It was hard to choose what to buy.

Thank you to the mums who helped our class on the trip – Aimee’s mum, Julie; Spencer’s mum, Monica; Liam’s mum, Skye; Jasmine’s mum, Leanne and James’s mum, Jenny.

Thanks to Julie for taking wonderful photos of our day.

Last week we had a special casual day at school. We dressed up in sports clothes.

We were raising money for our World Vision sponsored child – John Sebunya.

Maybe we will be famous netballers or footy players or soccer stars in the future.
