This term Purple room has been learning about our similarities and differences in the lead up to celebrating Harmony Week. We read the story “The Other Bears” by Michael Thompson and wrote messages of how to be a good friend to add to our friendship tree.

Even though we were born in Australia, we found out that our families have come from many different countries, such as Albania, Malta, The Netherlands, England, Iran, Italy, Cambodia, USA and New Zealand.

In Science, we have been learning about the life cycle of a plant. We have observed the process of germination by growing our own bean seeds. We learned why bees are important by making our own native bee puppets to show how bees pollinate flowers to produce the fruit that we like to eat.
