We are a class of Prep students, sharing all that's happening in our classroom. This blog was started by the first group of Gems, a Year One class back in 2007. We, the 2012 Gems are proud to continue on the conversation. You can read, watch and listen as we share our learning journey - a journey where we 'learn to blog' and 'blog to learn'. Please visit regularly to see what's new and join in the conversation - we'd love for you to be part of our learning.

LIBRARY BORROWING LIKE IN THE 'OLDEN DAYS'




When we went to the Library today, Mrs O'B wasn't there and the program to scan out our books was shut down!



Mrs M told us we could still borrow but we would have to be patient as she needed to write down which books we were borrowing.



We worked out that Mrs M was writing down our ID number and the second half of the barcode on the book.
That looked easy, so we offered to help!




We made Mrs M's job easier by calling out the numbers for her. We were even two steps ahead of her, by having the books from the next two children on the list before she had even called their names!!
Mrs M was AMAZED at how CLEVER and EFFICIENT we were.



Thankyou, my SPARKING GEMS!
What THOUGHTFULNESS, HELPFULNESS and INITIATIVE you possess!

WATCH OUT, LIBRARY and COMMUNICATION TEAM!
Mrs M :>)

HARMONY DAY





Today is HARMONY DAY. At Assembly the Year 4's told us about 'HARMONY' and the virtue of LOVE.

They were wearing
'orange' shirts because
orange is the colour
for 'harmony'.





We read 'WHOEVER YOU ARE' by Mem Fox.
We've learnt that 'HARMONY' is when EVERYONE is treated fairly and we show RESPECT and FRIENDSHIP to ALL.
It's when EVERYONE GETS ALONG!

IT'S WEDNESDAY- ASSEMBLY DAY!



Today at Assembly, 5 1M Gems received awards.

They were:Naomi - for being an 'Awesome Author'!
Ben - the 'Comment King' on our blog!
Johanna - inspiring and challenging us with your patterns!
Callum - our 'Super Sentence Maker'!
Lachlan - a smiling and valued member of '1M Cleaning Services'!


We listened to the Year Twos tell us about the virtue of 'Cleanliness' and how we need to care for our environment.

Like Captain Planet, we are trying to get pollution 'down to zero'.

We pick up rubbish BIG and small... inside our classroom
and from the gutters and shaded area outside.
We all need to look after our school.

Do the right thing...make every day CLEAN UP SCHOOLS DAY!

PUT YOUR RUBBISH IN THE BIN!

Sunday March 4 is 'CLEAN UP AUSTRALIA DAY'.

What are you doing, 1M to help our environment?

CO-OPERATION


Today at Assembly, 4M told us all
about the virtue of Co-operation.

We have already been practising this
virtue. We co-operate with Mrs M
when we:
listen
do as we are asked straight away

share

help others

stay on task

We liked 4M's song. Their Assembly
reminded us that 'we are all in this
together' and we need to work as a
TEAM.
