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 Ms Belinda Duncan.
We currently have 17 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. |

Term 3 was fun in Endeavour Room learning our poems to recite in front of other classes.
We created artwork inspired by Eric Carle. We read “The Hungry Caterpillar” and painted paper with colours that are side by side on the colour wheel. Then we cut the paper into different shapes and put them together to create a flower. We made real hot chocolate! We had to read instructions and follow them correctly. We had to use our senses to describe our experience. Ruban the Bear came for a visit. He taught us about being safe by the road. 
Term 2 was a very busy term at Tahuna School and Endeavour have loved every minute – visits to Harold the Giraffe in the Life Education Van, Cross Country, and Production Practises.
Buddy reading has been a highlight for us this term. We have enjoyed sharing our reading with other students and having them read to us.
The children of Endeavour Room want to share their highlights of term 1 in the class:
“We did a floating and sinking experiment” Quina “We did a sharing circle to share our news” Blyth “The vinegar made the apple turn brown in our experiment” Emerson “I squeezed the dropper of colourful water into the oil. It made colourful bubbles” Bridee “We kicked with the boards for swimming sports” Hunter “We learnt yellow and blue make green” Heath “The bark floated on oil and water in the experiment” Tysson “I put the noodle on my back and raced across the water at swimming sports” Sofia We put apple into the jars with water, vinegar, lemon juice and baking soda to see what would happen” Abagail “I put blue water into the cloud in the jar” Shaian “We made a rain cloud in a jar” Emerson “I blew the ping pong ball across the water in swimming sports” Blyth “We made art with crayon and dye” Alexi “We ran and biked and swam in the triathlon” Dakota-Jay
