School Fair

Thank you so much to everyone who came to our School Fair on Saturday.  It was lovely to see many of the Room 4 children visiting the Junior Team stall.

Recycled Crayons

Mrs McCulley found a big box of broken crayons so we decided to reduce, reuse and recycle them.  We put the crayons into trays and melted them in the oven.  Our recycled crayons turned out amazing!  We are going to sell them at the School Fair for 50 cents each.

Making Beeswax Wraps

We have had fun making Beeswax Wraps in our classroom.  We have been learning how we can reuse these wraps in our lunchbox and that they are so much better for our environment than cling wrap.  First we planned our wrap then Mrs McCulley helped us to make it.  Check out the photos below:

Miss Lewis

At the moment, Miss Lewis, our third year student is teaching us.  We are learning to 'Reduce, Reuse and Recycle' and we are enjoying singing lots of songs and doing drama.
