Rural Schools Sports Day

Remembering Corey

Today we talked and wrote about Corey who was sadly killed in an accident last Friday.  He was a very important classmate in Room 5 and we have many great memories of our times with him.  He will be remembered for his cheerful smile and the pleasure he got from his successes. He enjoyed joining in with all the activities the class did at school.

MAKING PAPER

At school some people in our class made paper. The people in our group were Tamsyn,Holly,Rebecca and Michaela. The colour we choose to do it was Violet. We had to make the pulp from recycled paper and put it in a large container with more water.  We used the paper sandwich makers to pick up a layer of pulp.  We turned it onto some cardboard and left it to dry.  Our paper turned out grey.

Fire Wise

Last Week Fire wise came to our school to talk about fire safety. They did a competition to see if anyone from our school could earn themselves a certificate. You had to hop out of bed (three chairs) and crawl to the door the older kids did the best. They did a puppet show everyone enjoyed it. I enjoyed the story about his dog the most.

Mothers day plan!

For Mothers Day

I would make mum one boiled golden egg from the Giant who lives up the Beanstalk. I would also cook up the The Three little pigs. I will need to climb up the Beanstalk and steal the golden egg. I would ring up Little Red Riding Hood and get her to kill the The Three little pigs. I will give Mum crispy bacon with the boiled egg in bed.

Anzac day technology challenge

On Friday the 23rd of April years 4, 5 and 6 did a technology challenge. We had to make a poppy as wide, tall and good looking as we can with a small stack of newspapers, some scizzers, 4 a4 pieces of red and black paper, 10 metres of tape and a ball of green string. We got ourselves into teams of five and was given about 45 minutes to complete our poppy. Once all the teams had finished the judges went around and got us to talk a little bit about our poppy and how we made it. There were lots of different designs: some were as high as the roof, some were 3D, some were small but high detailed and some were tall and wide. The judges decided on two "highly recommended" and one overall winner. The first highly recommended poppy was made by Briar Lomas, Eru Craig, Kiarn Couling, Olivia Crookshank and Claire Keven. Their poppy had string for a stalk and the flower was 3D. The second highly recommended was made by Finley Savage, Shanae Woolley, Briar Woolley, Ethan Tischik and Kiarnen Dudding. Their poppy was about 1 metre tall but it was quite high detailed. The winning poppy was made by Daniel Richards, Aimee Stevens, Luke Stevens, Holly Danks and Nyah Railey. Their poppy was quite big and was the widest poppy there. They also cut out all the green they could find in the newspaper and taped it onto the stalk.

Anzac poppies

On Friday the senior syndicate had a technology  challenge to build a poppy with 20 pieces of newspaper, 10 metres of tape, 4 sheets of orange paper and one piece of black paper and a piece of string.

All the people got in to groups of five.
We all went off and started to make our poppy
they were all different as you can picture in your head.
To win best poppy you need widest and the longest
and the most important thing it has to look like a poppy.
The judges were Mr McNaughton, Mrs Salt and Mrs
Dunn.
The group that won did  have the widest it  did not have the  longest but it looked like a poppy the most.
