Ferrymead - Livvy and Emma

Some photos from our fantastic day out at Ferrymead Historic Park.  What a wonderful experience dressing up and experiencing daily life and school as it was one hundred years ago.

Writing with pen and ink requires alot of concentration.

We have been continuing to explore poetry styles and using the structure of a published poem to create our own imaginative writing.

On Friday we dressed up as Super heroes to raise funds for Kids Can.  We all looked great and enjoyed the parade with our buddy class.  Indiana won best costume in the whole school.  She was Lightning Girl and her costume was cleverly sewn by her mum!  Molly (Good Girl) and Larissa (Incredibles girl) won best costume in Room 18. Miss MacKenzie had a difficult job choosing because everyone had made such a fantastic effort to dress up.

We are 2 weeks into our six lessons at Olympia Gym and room 18 are really enjoying the challenges the activities are providing us.  The trampoline seems to be especially popular, and the bars offer the greatest test of abdominal strength.  We have even discovered there are several talented gymnasts among us!

Recount Writing

We  have been learning to write recounts about a personal experience this term with the focus on organising our ideas into paragraphs.  We had to start with an introduction and then write what happened and finish with a conclusion or summary of what we thought or how we felt about our experience.

Jett's Journey to School
by Molly

On Thursday 20th June Jett came to school.  Jett belongs to Ms MacKenzie.

Jett was born in March and is 16 weeks old.  No-one knows if Jett is a he or she.

Jett is not allowed to eat lettuce but Jett is allowed to eat any other fruit or vegetable.  He normally eats rabbit pellets.  Jett does not eat brocoli that much but he loves silverbeet. Jett loves eating apples as well. 

Jett's breed is Netherland Dwarf.  He will not grow very big and his ears will not flop.

Jett runs around in the backyard in the afternoon, but he must be watched because there are lots of cats going around the place.

It was awesome having Jett visit because he is so cute.

circus science

Today in Circus Science we had to find the centre of gravity or balancing point on a cardboard bird.  We used two paper clips to add weight and balanced the bird on our fingers.

We discovered that if we move the paper clips to different places on the bird, the centre of gravity changes slightly.
Here some photos of us balancing our birds.
