Our Fabulous First Week!

What a super week we have had starting our learning journey together in this, our penultimate year at Cockle Bay School!  One of the first things we've done this week is learn what 'penultimate' means.  Ask us to see if we can remember and use it in a sentence.

We spent time this week talking about what is important to take along with us on our learning journey this year.  We talked about how everywhere we go on our journey we leave footprints.  We are making our own learning journey pathway display in our classroom.

Here we are working together brainstorming what we know about the Cockle Bay 4Cs


Our Ready Steady Go learning wall is off to a great start filled with our shared ideas.

One of the definite highlights of our week was the welcoming of our class pets - 17 tadpoles!  One has already turned into a frog and we are having fun feeding him with a record of 9 flies given to him in one day!  This is a picture of our first frog and his first fly.  They sat like this for about an hour before the frog zipped out his tongue and ate the fly!  Juliet was the lucky one who saw it happen.

Our class writing wall has our first quick write activity on display.  Make sure to stop by often to read what we've been working on.
