Welcome to Term 3

Our term has got off to a busy start. We have welcomed a new Teacher Assistant to our class, Gina, as Lisa has moved to Room 6.  Gina has been working at Allenvale for about 4 years now and is excited to be with us!  We have also welcomed a student teacher, Kate, who will be with us for the next 5 weeks and who I am sure will have a lot to both learn from us and teach us during her time in Room 11.

This term our topic is 'Books Galore', and we will be studying one book in depth each week.  We have kicked off the term with "Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What do you see?" by Bill Martin Jr. For our outing we intended to go to the Animal Farm Park at Spencer Park, but when we got there (and had put on our gumboots in preparation for the mud) we found the gate padlocked! I guess it was too muddy for us to visit :-(

Instead we walked over to Brooklands Lagoon, climbed up the viewing platform and looked out at the view. We saw lots of birds, heard lots of squawking, and enjoyed the beautiful sunshine.
