We have been writing beautiful poetry the past 6 weeks. We have written diamanté, haiku, cinquain, acrostic, color and shape poems! Have a look at some of our finished work!

Our class wreath

For the special Anzac assembly today we made a wreath. We traced our hands and made poppies to go on top. 

Anzac Biscuits! YUM!

Did you know that back during the war people had to send Anzac biscuits over to the soldiers?! They made Anzac biscuits because they would last for a really long time without going off. (Months!!) They would send them by ship in little packages. We made some with Miss Dobbin today in the hall but we put chocolate on ours!! 

Our history lessons

We have been learning about the ANZACS, where they landed in Gallipoli, what life was like in the trenches and how young some of the soldiers were. Some of them were only 16!!! Here we are reading the Anzac newspaper and finding Galiipoli on the map. 

Firefights visit Hampstead School!!

Today the firefighters filled Room 10 with fake smoke. Room ten hid teddy bears inside and the firefighters had to get down, get low and save them!!! We all watched them go disappear inside The smokey room!! We got to ask them

Questions after and have a look at their fire truck! It was awesome! 

Fun with Miss Dodd!

We are lucky because we get to go to ESOL group with Miss Dodd!

Autumn Art!!

We have been learning to mix colors to create beautiful paintings. We collected leaves from the field and traced them using pastels. We used yellow, red and blue dye to blend and paint the background.
