KP looked so gorgeous today in their Easter hats. Thank you parents for your artistic and creative assistance! They were very excited to parade their creations today in front of all the mums, dads, grandparents and friends. We had a photo taken before the parade and they can be seen below. For all the photos of the actual parade and the Easter artworks in the library, please visit the 'Latest Photos' page on our school website. There are heaps of photos! Thanks again for donating all the eggs for our Easter raffle. We hope everyone has a lovely Easter break.

Before we take part in our Easter Hat Parade tomorrow, KP would like to send you a 'Happy Easter' message.
KP Wish You A Happy Easter from Sue Dowling on Vimeo. KP were very clever making Easter chicks out of yellow cardboard, orange paper, pegs and some googly eyes! We added five baby chicks and innovated on a favourite song today. We didn't have 'five little ducks who went out one day', but our five little chicks who 'went over the hill and far away'. We had fun singing and acting out our version of the song with our mother chick cheeping and our baby chicks finally coming back! We hope KP sing our song for you at home together with their 'chick' family. Today we used the 'Feltboard' app on the iPads to create a beautiful Easter picture. This is the first time we have used this app and we completed the task independently while Mrs Dowling was working with children in the Engine Room. We really enjoyed this activity and we hope to make some other pictures very soon. Our activities in L3 time this morning had a definite Easter feel to them. Finding words in Easter eggs, making sentences about bilbies, tracing letters in Easter pictures and creating our own beautiful Easter scenes on the iPads.
As part of our Easter celebrations this week, KP have been learning about Australia's very own bilby. We have read stories and information books to learn about this amazing, but sadly endangered animal. We also watched videos of bilbies in action and looked carefully at photos. We painted our very own Easter Bilbies with their pink ears and noses, grey hair and their black and white tails. We dabbed the paint on very carefully and tried to create a hairy/furry texture.
We also had lots of fun using the 'Chatterpix' iPad app. We hope you enjoy our Easter messages below.
