ANZAC DAY

We took time out at school last week to remember the Anzac soldiers.  It was a very moving assembly.  We sang a song, listened to some war poems and each class put a wreath by our war memorial in the hall.  Here is Bailey with our wreath.

STRIKE GROUP

One cold day we rushed over to the exciting school hall.  Professionals were standing up in front of us.  Three men starting drumming like elephants.  After that they introduced their selves.  Their names were Tim, Tom and Thomas.  They were all so funny.

The school had to vote for two teachers who would learn how to play the drums.  We picked Miss Dobbin and Miss Park.  They got a chance to do their own solo.

 

 

Then a few minutes after some classmates got to come up and play the Cook Island drums, it was pretty noisy, but good.

The best time was when the school was screaming and stomping and the second time was when they used fire and spray.  It was very exciting.

I wish they could do the show all over again!

FIRE ENGINE VISIT

On Thursday the fire engine came to school and they showed us how they could put out a fire.  They used fake smoke to fill Room 10.

The firemen used a special hose to put out the fake smoke.

They then aired out the room using a big pump.

The firemen saved two teddies from Room 10. 

When they got the teddies

out they did CPR on them.

Some of Room 11 taking photos with the media.

Watch out for Jessie's photo in the Guardian!

Thai students visit Room 11

The Thai students sung us a song, it was Katy Perry "Roar", but in Thai

Room 11 painted some fireworks and poppies, the Thai students
joined in and did some painting too.



Sung was writing down the Thai numbers for us.

Here are the Thai numbers -
they look really hard to learn!



WET DAY FITNESS

Room 10 came with us to the Hall to do some fun activities with Mark, the new PE co-ordinator.  First we did toilet tag, to be a toilet you have to crouch down and have one leg out and have one leg straight, that's how it works. 

After that we played a tennis ball game, there were traffic lights.

Here's what you had to do for each traffic light.

GREEN bounce with your left arm
ORANGE bounce with your right arm
RED put the ball on the ground and step on it gently

We had to go in a circle and there was one ball at the start, then there were thousands of balls in the circle.
We had to hit it with the ball on the flat side of our hand to keep it from going
through our legs.

TURBO TOUCH

Kat was asking us what the three passes were that we

learnt last week



Grace and Braydon playing Paper, Scissors, Rock

because we were doing 'tricky tag'.





Passing to our partners.

This time we were doing sumo passes.

Eli chasing Cable so he could taghim before he got a try.

Cable just managed to get the try.

Fireworks

One Friday morning Room 11 got all set up for art.  When we did art Mrs Eaton said that we were going to make fireworks paintings.  We used heaps of colours and made them into beautiful fireworks.  Then Mrs Eaton came around with glitter and sprinkled glitter on the fireworks and it looked even more fantastic.
