During education week all the childrens grandparents came to visit the school. All the grandparents had a look at all the kids work.
Wakakiri and dance Ensoumble peformed to entertain everyone. The band played songs too. The library had a bookstall and was selling books for kids. The SRC was also selling the Gymea Lily ( the school newspaper ).
Everybody had a great time at Grandparents day, but everything was a little crowded!
Anzac day was a very special day at our school. Watch this video. It has a very interesting speech by a War Veteran.
This one Lexi learnt last year
Here’s our version
Can you make up your own?
The Jungle Tribe that Time forgot….
This article was interesting because we found a tribe that could have lived hundreds of years ago and they still have not changed. They were unusual because they painted themselves with red paint and dressed only in animal skins. It is interesting to find a tribe in the Amazon Rainforest of South America in 2008 when other tribes in South America stopped hundreds of years ago. These people have never touched people from out of their tribe and have lived without other people. They have not seen technology before. The weaponry they used was related to the weaponry that the aborigines used. The way they acted and sheltered was interesting because it was the way their ancestors sheltered.

On Wednesdays 4/5M go to sport with Mr Davis. At sport we learn lots of different skills. We have played spors like Oz-tag and Cricket. when we played Oz- tag we leart how to grab a tag. When we played Cricket we learnt how to bowl and hit the ball with the bat. We have learnt lots of fundemental movement skills like dodging and kicking a ball. We also have played some games like knee-tap.
If it is wet we have a booklet that we do some work in or we play some games like a debate and we have a topic that we have to agree or disagree to ( or be unsure ). Once we had boys should be paid more than girls in sport.
In terms 1 and 2 we are going to do PE and in terms 3 and 4 we are going to do music.
I liked Oz-tag best because we got to learn how to grab each others tags and it was really fun. What sport did you like best and why?
Nibbles is our class pet. She is a female Budgie. Nibbles is green on her chest, black on wings. She a yellow head and black and blue tail.
Nibbles lives up to her name, she likes to nibble on peoples fingers. We replace Nibbles food and water, every Friday. We make sure Nibbles has enough to last her the weekend. We also put a new plastic bag in bottom of the cage, so we can replace it when it gets dirty, this is for Nibbles droppings. Every Monday we come back to a very messy cage.
Our class takes turns cleanig out her cage. We learn how to look after a bird and it will be very valuable in life. We love Nibbles with all our hearts.
