Mrs Bryan’s Bright Bunch

What a busy time we’ve had!!
In the last couple of weeks we have been lucky enough to have 3 guest speakers. The first was L’s Mum, a doctor, who talked to us all about the digestive system. We all had a turn at listening to our heart, lungs and stomachs with the stethoscopes that she brought. The second was Bev’s daughter, a physiotherapist, who spoke to us about the skeletal and muscular system. Last week we had R’s Dad, a dentist, who talked to us about what dentists do, food that is good for teeth and what to avoid, and cleaning our teeth.
Thank you so much to those people who gave up their time to come and share their knowledge with us. We’ve certainly learnt a lot!
Small groups of children have been working with Mrs Robertson in the library, learning all about key words and research. They then do a mini oral presentation to the class about what they have found out over the 3 lessons. So far they are proving to be of a high standard. Well done!

Last Thursday the ladies from Grab 5 visited again. This time we made apple pancakes (which tied in really well with German Day the next day). They were delicious and those of us who were open minded and risk takers tried them with natural Greek yoghurt and honey. YUMMMM
On Friday we had German Day. The children did a fabulous job with their performance based on the Very Hungry Caterpillar. After recess we made paper mache ‘luftballoon’ lanterns to celebrate St Martin’s Day, a German celebration in early November on which our Coro traditional Christmas lantern march is based. Hopefully at least some of them will work out
Hope you enjoy the pictures.
