Gymnastics

A huge congratulations to Jack, Tyler, River and Bailey P for their awesome effort at last weeks annual gymnastics competition.

Food for thought!

What is really out there?

This Term our Big Idea is...'Understanding the possibilities' and our Big Question is ... 'What is really out there???'This term room 5 have been learning all about space and the planets in our solar system. Its been really fun Peter Knowles came to our school and told us all about space. He brought with him a fascinating machine it had a light bulb in the middle that represented the sun it had 3 balls representing Mercury, Venus and Mars and a globe that represented Earth. Peter told us all about how we get seasons. We learnt so much our brains were bursting with information.

Thought of the day! ... Something to think about!

Just another reason why we always should always plan ahead :)

The Billy Cart Races

Wow! What a race, 'Eat My Dust' won again. 1D crashed ouch! Is she ok? What a crash I am looking forward to this race, I think Sarah is going to win. The race started opps I'm wrong, Sarah crashed into a bush. Steve fell over, what a fall! Then I wonder who's racing next. Ryan verse Eat My Dust verse Isaac, Who's going to win? Yay! Ryan won how exciting. The final is going to be another great race. _ Cooperative story written by Tyler, Oriwa, Ebon and Mikayla. Crash of the centeray - Sarah eagerly tugged her Go-cart up the hill and hoped in it. Victoria held onto the end as Mrs Parfitt got her whistle "ready set go" she yelled. The go-cart went rolling down the hill, she turned to the right and lost control and went straight towards the bush. "Watch out" we yelled but it was too late she charged straight towards Mr Perry. Oh no she went right between his legs._ Cooperative story written by River, Lewis, Charlie, Ethan.
