Week 2

This week the students were working hard to show Ms Sutherland and Miss Garthwaite what they could do. We started learning about the life cycle of the Monarch Butterfly. The students really impressed with Ms Sutherland with how well they were learning to follow the class routines.

This year we are a Health Promoting School and we have 'Fruit in School'. This we week for morning tea we had bananas and oranges. The oranges were super juicy and yummy. The students made a graph that showed which fruits which they like the best.

This year we are also a Duffy School and on Tuesday morning it was exciting to see what books the students selected for Term 1. This is a great way of getting more great books in our homes and promote reading. I love reading and I love hearing the stories Ms S reads the Junior Learning Team.

On Thursday evening we had a 'Welcome Back BBQ'. It was great to see so many families along to have tea together and talk about 2010 at Pine Hill School.

When we were walking around the classes at the 'Welcome Back BBQ' we noticed that Pixie was getting ready to go into a chrysalis to start turning in to a butterfly. Pixie hung in a fish hook shape all the time we were at school on Friday. On Monday when we got to school Pixie was in a beautiful chrysalis.



I got to go home with someone new this weekend and had a great time.
