Living Gems

This term our Treasure Seeker focus is Living Gems. We will be discussing how living organisms are used to make products that benefit people.

First we are going to find out all about Composting. The first step was to clean out the compost bins behind our class. Adam, his big brother Jarrod and his Dad came to school in the weekend and worked hard to get rid of all the rubbish in the bins, including broken bottles!

The Lorax

This year Room 9 is talking about the messages in the work of Dr Seuss. We have read the story of the Lorax, to help us think about the "Treasures of the Land"

Our Visit to Friendship Group

On Wednesday 14 March, Room 9 went to Friendship Group. We presented 30 minutes of entertainment and then proudly shared our work to the members. It was a great afternoon.





Treasure Island!

Oh! The Places We'll Go!

One day last week Room 9 travelled to this island in the Pacific Ocean! It was such a beautiful place. Clear sparkling water and golden sand, but the most amazing things on the island were the birds. They were all of the colours of the rainbow. They sat on every branch of the beautiful trees.

Oh! The Places You'll Go!

Dr Seuss wrote lots of books. Some quotes from his books have become favourites with many people. At the start of the year, Mrs Davidson read us one of Dr Seuss' books.

It was called "Oh the Places You'll Go"    One of the special quotes from this story, we will be thinking about this year says

Here are some other great quotes from Dr Seuss:

Mr Priest's Treasure Box

On Friday 24 February, Mr Priest visited Room 9 to show us some of the things he has saved in his special Treasure Box that belonged to his father. There were lots of special things in the box and he shared lots of memories with us, from when he was a child and his trips to other countries.

He also showed us an amazing birds nest, that had blown out of one of the trees at KBC during a storm.

Treasure Seekers!!!

This year, our Inquiry learning focus is "Treasure Seekers". To start the year we all decorated a shoe box. The box will be our treasure chest for 2012.
