Jump Jam




Last week all the children in the Junior School and Learning Community 1 had lots of fun doing Jump Jam. Bryn and Zac's mum, and lots of children from Learning Community 1, showed us how to do Jump Jam.


We did lots of different songs and dances. Liam liked the slithering snake routine the best. Rachel, Zita, Zane and Jessica liked Shrek the best.


We thought it was fun dancing. Some people got puffed. The teachers did some of the dancing too. Some parents came to watch but they didn't dance. We thought the Learning Community 1 dancers were great!

Looking at the worm farm


Last week Mr Howley showed us all the worm compost inside the worm farm. Inside the compost were lots of tiger worms. The worms made compost out of food scraps from our lunchboxes, like apple cores, banana skins, crusts, and pear cores.

Mr Howley is going to put the worm compost onto the children's garden to make the flowers and vegetables grow better.

Mr Howley also showed us the compost bins. If we get too many food scraps for the worm farm we can put them in the compost bins instead. Mr Howley needs lots of compost for the school gardens.
