My Mum And Dad Make Me Laugh

On Tuesday, Katrina read us a story called " my Mum And Dad Make Me Laugh". After the story we had lots of stories we wanted to share with the class about times our Mum and Dad made us laugh. We drew a picture of a funny incident with our parents and then we spoke about this in front of the class.

Ask your child to talk to you about what he/she shared with the class.

LONG JUMP

Here we are doing Long Jump with Brodie.

DIWALI

Drishti wore her beautiful sari to school today because her family is celebrating the beginning of the Indian new year. Diwali is the Indian Festival of Light and it is held in late October or early November.

We thought Drishti looked gorgeous in her sari today.

Today we coloured a rangoli pattern. Usually in India the rangoli pattern is decorated with coloured powder and the pattern is placed by the front door to welcome visitors.
