Endeavour Room

​Welcome to the new entrant, year 1 class. My name is Mrs Bev Barbarich. The children all call me Mrs B. I team teach with Mrs Linda Jensen-Gaiger known as Mrs J. We all meet in Endeavour Room in the morning for oral language and then the older children go to Endurance Room with Mrs J.

We currently have 8 children in our class and a fine looking bunch we are too!! We are looking forward to welcoming more friends when they turn 5!

​All children in Endeavour participate in the "Early words programme" with teacher aides Miss Foster and Ms Ryan. 

Fridays are our library days where we get to change our 2 books for the week and learn our new poem.

During Term 2 our learning focus was ‘Land’.  We learnt lots of interesting things about New ZeaLAND  and we finished the term learning about other lands where people have come from.

Term 3 will be exciting as we learn our poems for the poetry recital competition, songs for the cultural festival, participate in rippa rugby and discover the solar system.

​​ We enjoyed learning how to become 'Firewise’ which is all about keeping safe with fire.  We had an amazing  visit to the Fire Station, where Mr Pollard talked to us about what Fire Fighters do.  We even got to sit in the fire engine!
We also enjoyed our chat with Shane,  who came in to share some interesting safety information with us.

​We had a lot of fun when the ginkgo tree lost its leaves!  We spend lots of time collecting the leaves, playing in them and building things out of them, but our favourite thing to do was to make a pile of the beautiful leaves and jump in it!

​​Exploring measurement was great fun as we learnt about different things we can use to measure ourselves and other things.
​​​I threw the yellow leaves. I made a pile.
t was fun to throw them at Mrs B.

​​Ginko Leaves… by Jade 
 
I jumped in the yellow mountain. It was big. It was crunchy.  We threw the yellow leaves at Mrs B. She had leaves in her hoodie and made a mess in the classroom! We had to pick up all the leaves, it was hard.
What fun! We LOVED it!!!
