We had fun celebrating Chinese New Year at school.
We can’t wait for Shawn to come back from Malaysia so he can tell us about the way he celebrated the new year there with his friends and family.

This term we have been measuring and comparing length. It has been important for us to choose an appropriate item to use for measuring.
Kiara and Maya chose texts to measure a skipping rope.
Seb chose matchsticks to Measure his foot. Cameron chose unifix cubes to measure his foot.
In Spring we enjoy seeing lots of bottlebrush bushes flowering.
Bottlebrush bushes are planted on many local footpaths as well as in gardens and even on the Craigburn School grounds. In Spring when they are flowering they certainly look stunning.
We decided to choose these blossoms for our Spring paintings.

We had an exciting trip to Her Majesty’s Theatre in Adelaide.
We went to to see the Adelaide Symphony Orchestra play while Dandi Productions acted the Roald Dahl version of ‘Little Red Riding Hood’.
We had a wonderful time celebrating the end of our Term 3 Fact or Fantasy Inquiry.
As Term 4 2013 comes to a close it is fun to look back on some of the highlights of our busy term.

We had a fun end to Term 3 when we had a Wacky Hat Day at Craigburn. We held this day to raise money for equipment for young cancer patients at the Women’s and Children’s Hospital.
Look at Room 3’s wonderful wacky hats!
When we were learning ‘oo’ words in Word Work we used Froot Loops to help us practice writing our words.
The best thing was we got to eat the Froot Loops at the end of the day!
Thanks to Nancy Vandenberge’s Blog ‘First Grade Wow’ for this Word Work idea.
