We have absolutely loved being builders and engineers this week. We had SO much recycling brought in from home so thank you very much! The children loved looking through all of the different shapes and materials we had. They thought carefully about what they needed and the best way to join them together. We were all very excited to bring our models home and share them with you! 🙂

Today, we learnt all about Remembrance Day and reflected on why it is such an important day. We all participated in a two minute silence and wrote sentences to answer quiz questions about Remembrance Day. We took part in our ‘11’ challenge by completing 11 laps of the bicycle track.

We weren’t able to visit the zoo so we decided to bring the zoo to Newdale! We planned and designed our very own zoos; thinking carefully about what each type of animal might need in their home.

In the afternoon, we became wild animals and visited the ‘Newdale Jungle’. We each chose an animal mask that we would like to make. In the jungle, we looked for and made different animal footprints. Some of us even built dens that we thought our animal would like to live in. We had lots of fun exploring the Forest, pretending to be animals – the koalas particularly enjoyed climbing the trees.
