Balloon Fun

We had a lot of fun blowing up balloons for some games that will be at the Burnside Primary School Fun Day tomorrow! We are all very excited!!!

Butterfly Garden

The Red and Yellow Rooms loved getting out in the butterfly garden as part of our investigations topic this term. They worked hard as a team to pull out some very big weeds to make our garden ready for some new plants.

Burnside Stars

At Assembly today we had 3 certificate recipients - Riley, Ahi and Eseta.  We are very proud of these students and what they have achieved this week.  Riley showed Integrity, Ahi showed Excellence and Eseta also showed Excellence.

We were also very proud of the three children who received Cool Kids Awards - Heather, Tyson and TK.  They were able to have a hot chocolate with marshmallows with Mr Bateman.  Thanks for bringing the teachers back a marshmallow too :-)

Discovery Time

We were very excited to come back to school and see the changes in our learning spaces and the new things that had been purchased.  AND then we were able to use them during Discovery Time.  We LOVED our new kitchen unit and train table!  We had a great learning time, making sure that we showed respect to our new equipment and learnt where to put it back so the next person can use it easily.

Congratulations to Eseta who was our Discovery Time Star.

Handwriting Star

Eseta was our handwriting star from the blue homebase for her fantastic size and shape of her letters.  She sat them on the line and made them the right way.  Congratulations Eseta!

Maths Must Do and Can Do activities

We have been practising how to work with our buddies, stay at our activities and to focus on what we are doing during our must do/can do time.  Here are some photos of people that know exactly what to do and can work well with their partner.  What great role models you are, especially when you use your words and talk to your partner about your activity or where you are going to next.
