Redcliffs @ Van Asch

We have had a great start at Van Asch. We are all super excited about our classroom just for Room 13 and 14 (aka Room 27). We are settling in nicely and enjoying the super facilities that Van Asch offers us.
On Tuesday we had a great day exploring our new surroundings and were blown away by the massive field.
On Wednesday we were lucky enough to have author Maria Gill speak to us and share some of her wonderful books. To top things off the whole school had a sausage sizzle. A huge thank you to our wonderful PTA!
On Friday we went to Team 3 Shop Day. We had a great time spending money and eating some delicious treats. Hopefully not too many children went home with a tummy ache!
So all in all it was an action packed week and we are looking forward to next week.

Children, remember to practise your poems for our poetry recital coming up and you might even be able to share some of your folk dancing moves with your family. Have a great weekend.
You can share some of your favourite things about our new school in the comments below or Mum and Dad might like to too!

On Friday we made some bread because we are learning all about measurement. We ate the bread after and it was delicious! I had a photo to go with this but it didn't want to work.
I also had a photo of everyone in their flash new beanies. I will try to pop these up another time. Enjoy the rest of your weekend!




Through my winter window...

Here are some fantastic poems we have written all about winter.

Through my winter window…

Snow glittering,

Homes glistening on the street,

Through my winter window…

Diamonds on the grass,

Clouds are having a party,

I’m snuggled up behind my winter window.

By Meila


Through my winter window…

Glittering snow shining in the sun,

Mountains covered in white,

Through my winter window…

Frosty trees glimmering in the light,

I’m snuggled up behind my winter window.

By Harvey



Through my winter window…

Snowy trees blowing,

Snow diamonds sparkling,

Through my winter window…

Shining crystals crunching

Snow blanket spread across the world

Through my winter window…

Snowy cats and dogs hiding,

Mountains with snow storms coming,

I’m snuggled up behind my winter window.

By Lachlan



Through my winter window…

Sparkling icy windows,

Frosty cold snow,

Through my winter window…

Children playing in the snow,

Pretending to be snow angels in blankets,

Through my winter window…

Snow falling from the sky,

I’m snuggled up behind my winter window.

By Declan



Through my winter window…

Glittering snow falling,

Sparkling trees blowing in the wind,

Through my winter window…

Thick snow laying,

Playing dogs barking,

Through my winter window…

Thick snow falling,

I’m snuggled up behind my winter window.

By Olivia



Through my winter window…

Sparkling trees glowing in the night,

Frosty houses blowing in the wind,

Through my winter window…

Playful children having snow fights,

Snowy mountains glistening,

Through my winter window…

Barking dogs in the distance,

Thick snow falling to the ground,

I’m snuggled up behind my winter window.

By Adhara



Through my winter window…

Hard snow falling,

Shiny trees blowing in the wind,

Through my winter window…

Cold water rippling,

Sparkly clouds roaming the world,

Through my winter window…

A white houses with falling snow from the roof,

Icy glass freezing,

Through my winter window…

Playful children having snow fights,

Cold dogs barking,

I’m snuggled up behind my winter window.

By Hamish

We've been lucky enough to participate in some sports this week with 'Kelly Sports'. Everyone had a great time. Check out the action shots of the Room 14 and 13.
