Last Friday November 11th we had our school Gala Day. The students from year 3 to 7 get together in teams and plan ideas for stalls to raise money. They have worked really hard and provided some fabulous stalls selling food and drinks, loved treasures, arts and crafts, hand-crafted jewellery, face-painting and lots of competitions. After recess all the JP students spent a wonderful 45minutes visiting the stalls. We had a lovely time and were well looked after by our enterprising older students.
Back in our room we shared stories about our purchases and brainstormed our gala events. Then we made a chart of our favourite stalls and activities.

In Inquiry Learning we are investigating colours. We have discovered that we can make orange, green and purple by mixing primary colours together. We have used the three primary colours red, blue and yellow, to paint pictures, make blotter-painted critters, colour wheels, and posters. It is fun using the iPads to make our information books showing what we are learning about colour; and playing colour mixing games on the computer.

Look at our colourful paintings!
