Term 2 Reflections

Term 2

Term 2 was a busy and exciting term for the Reception classes.

Our HASS focus on Being Happy and Healthy gave us plenty of opportunities to discuss how we keep ourselves healthy. We were able to taste a variety of foods and had some new experiences with cooking and preparing foods. We walked to Mellor Park early in the term in order to demonstrate how we can keep healthy by exercising and enjoyed a picnic lunch and some games at the park. We also enjoyed a visit to the Central Market where we bought a variety of healthy foods so we could "eat a rainbow" at the end. Although the weather was not kind to us and did not allow us to play for long at the playground, everyone had a great time.  A big thank you to our parent volunteers. 

In Term 2, we also began to visit the Lockleys Preschool in order to make new friends and continue the transition to between school and kindy. It's been great meeting our new "kindy friends". We have enjoyed visiting the kindy and showing our kindy teachers how much we have grown and developed since we began school. We also welcomed small groups of kindy children into our learning spaces and showed them a few things we do during Discovery Time. We will continue the transition process during term 3 and 4.

The final day of Term 2 coincided with our Reception children's 100th day of school. What a fantstic day we had, everyone looked great in their "100 year old" costumes. We enjoyed games and activities based around "100" , made fairy bread with 100's and 1000's, and enjoyed a shared lunch of pizzas. Finally we celebrated the day with a delicious chocolate cake. Thanks to those parents who helped out on the day to make the pizzas and to Sascha Walker for the fantastic cake she made.
