The Kindergarten classes have been enjoying the story “Library Lion” over the last week or so.
Here are some paper lions we made to put up in our Library – aren’t they great?!?
We talked about the story and if we would like a lion in our library – some people were very brave and said that they would like a real lion to play and read with!
This got us thinking about real lions and so we decided to find an information book about lions to see if they would be able to live in a school library.
MrsP found some books and we looked at the pictures and listened to some facts about lions as well. Most of us think that real lions wouldn’t like to live in a library 🙁 .
Now we know about real lions and story lions – everyone would like a story lion in the library 🙂
Kindergarten and Stage 1 students have been exploring scientific concepts related to toys this term.
We have
Now, to finish off we are making a toy out of recycled materials!
First we drew a plan.
Then we found the materials we would need.
Next we started putting it altogether.
After that we will paint it and add features.
Finally we will speak about our toy.
We have been reading stories about dinosaur toys in the Library. Kindergarten love Harry and his bucket of toy dinosaurs that come to life.
Today we heard a story about a “Grannysaurus” and we thought it would be fun to draw a “Me-asaurus” and turn ourselves into dinosaurs too 🙂
We looked in the non-fiction section part of the library to find where the information books about dinosaurs were kept. Then we had a look at all of the cool features that different dinosaurs had. We liked the spikes, the horns, the tails, and the claws.
Next we decided what parts of dinosaurs WE would like to have and drew ourselves as dinosaurs!
Here are our drawings:

Kindergarten have been learning about our school values of RESPECT, TOLERANCE, HONESTY and INTEGRITY.
We read the book “I Won’t Say Please!” by Mij Kelly to explore the concept of respect further. The Kinder Kids were shocked at how rude Queen Bee was as she ordered everyone around. She wanted everything her way and right now!
By the middle of the story Queen Bee was really angry, had had no breakfast, had no friends and had locked herself in the dungeon and thrown away the key! Luckily for Queen Bee a little friend was there to help her, and having learned her lesson Queen Bee began using her manners and showing respect to the people around her.
We made some bees ourselves too – but our bees have great manners and try to use them all the time!

Kindergarten danced and sang to a favourite song about a scarecrow. Did you know that scarecrows are used by farmers to keep the birds away from the fruit and crops growing on the farm?
We enjoyed acting out the song and then we made some scarecrows ourselves!
