We had so much fun on Fun Day! What did you do at Fun Day? Here are some of the things we did. We painted and decorated a Christmas Box and placed a bauble inside. Here are some of our photos to wish all of our families a very Merry Christmas. Our snowpeas have started to grow. Have you seen them? We had a great time at the Christmas Concert. Thank you to all of the families who came to watch us perform. We hope you enjoyed it as much as we did. Today we placed a hand print on the new garden edge around the flag pole. It was very exciting to have our hand painted. Have you seen the handprints? Our beans are growing in our garden from all the rain. Would you like to try one of our beans? Christmas has arrived in our classroom. We are searching for 12 Christmas elves hidden in our classroom. Can you see where they are hidden? Mrs Donas came and taught us on Tuesday afternoon. It was lots of fun. We got to make Santas. Can you see how we made them? 1S have been busy preparing a garden bed to plant some vegetables. On Friday Mrs Smith helped us plant our seeds. First we had to make sure all of the weeds were out of the garden and then make a row for where we could plant our seeds. Next we were all given a snow pea seed and bean seed to plant in the rows. We had to make sure they went in a straight line and were evenly spaced. Then we covered up the seeds with the soil. Finally we watered our seeds. Now we will need to look after them so they will grow. We will keep you updated with how our vegetables go. The K-2 Christmas Concert is on Tuesday 9th December at 12pm. We hope you can come along and watch us perform. Here is one of our favourite Christmas Songs. What is your favourite Christmas Song? We discovered a new game today to help us with our numbers to 100. We really tried to beat the time, but we couldn't. Today's champion was Ella. She was able to locate 8 bones in one minute.
How many numbers can you find in one minute? 1S were asked the following questions: 1. What do you like at St Marys North Public School? 2. What do you want to do or be when you finish school? 3. If you had a magic wand, what would you like to be different at our school? Here are some of our responses. What would your answers be? We really enjoy reading Owl Babies.

The following website has great activities and games to okay on the computer. http://www.topmarks.co.uk/interactive.aspx?cat=16 Which game or activity do you like best? Have you seen our patterns we made? Today we had fun with our buddy class. Our buddies are in 3P. We used the iPads to scan in the QR code to our class blog, and then we wrote comments to blog posts together. We really enjoy commenting on posts and replying to other comments that have been made. We were having so much fun that we forgot to take a photo together. Maybe we will take one next time.

We created these wonderful masks that we all wore. We think we really did look like and owl. Do you know what song we sung or the name of our poem? We wrote down some of the many owl facts we have been learning while we have been reading our AL text Owl Babies. We published these facts onto owls to hang around our Haiku poems. What do you know about owls? Each week we do Science Experiments with Miss Williams. This week we put the same coloured 'Gummi Bear' into different liquids and left them over night.
