FACTION CARNIVAL

Faction Sports Carnival day: one of the most awaited events on the school calendar. A great day was had by all. It was impressive to see the level of sportsmanship, participation and encouragement from the students. Congratulations to Blue faction for being the overall champions on the day. Well done to Jack also, for being awarded the Intermediate Boys Champion. You are very deserving of the trophy and acknowledgments that go with it.  Special thanks to Mrs Oliver and Mr Sherlock for all of their hard work in the lead up to the day as well as running such a successful event. 

JUMPS AND THROWS

Congratulations to all of the children who competed today at the Jumps and Throws carnival. Jack placed 2nd and 3rd for the 400m and throwing events whilst Liam placed 2nd for throws as well. Well done boys.

"I really enjoyed competing today and representing my faction. Go Blue" - Jack.

"Competing at the throws was fun. I managed to get a little further each time and was only beaten by a margin of 2cm." - Liam

WATTLE DAY WALK

Wattle Day welcomes the first day of Spring. It is also a day of unification as it brings all Australians together. For Wattle Day this year, Room 22 teamed up with our buddy class, Room 23 to make Wattle Day cards and delivered these to our close neighbours. Both Mrs Harney and I were very impressed with the standard and work ethic of the children as the cards they made were fantastic.

“The Wattle Day walk was great fun. We got to wish our neighbourhood a ‘Happy Wattle Day.’ It was really nice to make some cards - quite a bit of work but it paid off.” - Cathy

“I liked all of the activities leading up to the walk as I got to learn more about my buddy. It is great to work with a younger buddy plus, it was a fantastic day for a walk around the neighbourhood. I am really pleased with all of our efforts.” - Eva

BIG WRITING

Room 22 is coming in leaps and bounds with their writing. Our love for writing is continuing to grow. We understand that for writing to grow, it needs to be nurtured with VCOP - Vocabulary. Connectives, Openers and Punctuation. Some of the children have expressed a keen interest in sharing their writing on the blog. We’ll add to the document below, as more children finish typing up their writing, so keep a keen eye on the link to see more examples of our Big Writing.
