Athletics Day

For a change we had a perfect day for the Junior Team's Athletics Day.
Here are some comments from the Room 5 athletes.
"I felt like I was running as fast as a cheetah".
"When I lined up for my race my legs were shaking because I was really nervous".
"I was concentrating really hard when I was holding the egg and spoon".
"I was really puffed at the end of the distance race".
"It was so good that my Mum, Dad and Grandma could be there to watch".
"It was exiting to be in the Year 2 Distance final in front of all the parents".
"I did the best I could on the day and was very proud of myself".

A special thanks to Jemma for taking photos for us on the day, she did a fabulous job.

BMX Potential Champion

Thanks Noah for showing us all the special gear you need to wear when you compete in BMX races. It is obvious that you need a lot of skills to be competitive in these races. Even though you are a beginner at this sport you know a lot about it and have a great deal of talent. The bike is pretty awesome too. Best of luck for your future races.

Still Life Drawing Lesson

Bianca visited us yesterday and took us for a still life drawing lesson. We learned about colour mixing,brush techniques and how to build up a painting. We will be able to use these new skills next time we do painting by ourselves.

Visit to Sumner Fire Station

As part of our Inquiry Unit Rooms 5 and 6 visited the Sumner Fire Station this morning. We have been looking around our community and are amazed at the number of organisations we have that rely on volunteers to provide the service that they offer. The Fire Station is a very good example of this. Thanks to Mark and Dan for giving up time out of their paid jobs to come and talk to us about the Sumner Brigade. We had a good look at what is inside the fire engine and got to hear about different things the firefighters do as part of their job. You do a great job and we very much appreciate it.
