iPads!

Just a quick post to let that you know I have been lucky enough to receive some money through a SERU (Special Education Resource Unit) Technology Grant to purchase 4 iPads' for the class. Ipad's are an emgerging technology in the area of special education and we are very lucky to be getting 4 of them. I think the class will benefit emensely and I look forward to be being able to incorporate them into the learning program.

National Simultaneous Storytime

Today we participated in National Simultaneous Storytime. As a school we listened to the principal read "Feathers for Phoebe" by Rod Clement. We all loved the story. We enjoed the colours in the illustrations and we all thought the little grey bird looked a bit silly all dressed up! After we listened to the story we completed an activity which created a flip book of colouful birds created by us.

Catch Up!

We are 3 weeks in to term 2. I have been extremely busy the last few weeks and haven't been able to update the blog. Now that things have settled down I hope to post more often. This post will include a lot of photos from the end of last term and a few from this term. A lot of things have happened. We have looked closely at worms and started a worm farm, we went to an Easter Party organised by the Ladies of Variety, we have had another class birthday ( Happy 11th Birthday Jayden!) and we cooked stir fry vegetables with vegetables from our garden. We have also been learning some Play is the Way games. These games are non-competitive games that are helping us to work more as a team and to learn play skills. Next week we are organsing assembly. We will be a singing a song with some sign language that we have learnt.
Below is a slideshow of what we have been up to.
