Buddy Class

Today we met our buddy class for the first time.


We are fortunate to be buddied up with a Year 8 class the senior leaders of our school.


Today we just introduced ourselves and found out a little bit about each other. We will keep the same buddies for a few weeks so we get to know each other a little bit. I wonder how many of us will remember each other's names by next week??

We read a reading book to our big buddies then we shared our ideas of what it was to be a
'bucket filler.'
We made a star or a heart to say what we could do to be a bucket filler in our class.
Now we are making connections with older students we will recognise in the playground. They can help us if we have a problem.
We can say "hello" to them when we see them on Road Patrol or in the Library.
Our buddy might even be a world-famous presenter on MVTV and we will know who they are!

Thanks for coming to visit us Miss Erceg and FLS

How very cool for me, that I got to meet up with senior students I had taught or worked with when they were in the Year 2 team, and this year they will be graduating from MVS and moving on to High School WOW!

Chinese New Year

We had fun learning about  New Year celebrations in the Chinese culture. One of the activities was making a Chinese dragon. It involved colouring, cutting, lots of folding and attaching a pair of dragon leg handles. Of course, most of the dragons went home with the children but fortunately, a couple wanted  to stay at school for a while to go with our New Year display. We also have lots of lovely pink pigs and learnt to draw pigs with a very catchy little song because of course, this is the Year of the Pig.

What an interesting way to learn about caring for animals.  We met some animals that many of us had not seen or handled before as well as our usual pets. We already knew that animals need food and water. We also discovered that they need shelter, exercise and friends. We were happy to be their friends for a brief moment in time. Sometimes when we were grooming the guinea pigs it was hard to tell which end was which...that reminded us of a reading book that many of us have read called "Just one Guinea Pig". We set up all the things the mice would need in their habitat to keep them healthy and happy. Then we all laid on our tummies quietly and watched 'mouse t.v.' as they played in the environment we had set up for them.
