INTEGRITY

Across the street from my home three men were washing the office tower windows using harnesses and absailing equipment, it looked fun and scary at the same time.

It made me think about INTEGRITY.    For these men to feel safe, they and other people and the equipment they used all had to have integrity.

What do you think I mean by that? 

Why would they need integrity? 

Why would other people around them need integrity? 

How does equipment have integrity?

Reading Activities to Storm Boy by Colin Thiele

After reading the excellent novel Storm Boy by Colin Thiele,  to the whole class they completed a Personal Response form to the story overall.


Max had some great thinking going on and listened carefully.  Love the photo added and the range of good questions.

Caroline found some relevant
information about Colin Thiele's
earlier Life.

Activities of Storm Boy

Storm boy spends his time collecting stuff at the beach. He also helps his friend Fingerbone. He spends his time sometimes alone and does whatever he wants to do. Storm Boy does not like to kill animals because it makes him sad. He like’s to spend his time playing with Mr Percival and his two brothers on the beach underneath the sun.

Cybersmart Lessons

Lots of important tips on how to look after our devices have been learnt and some excellent work has been created with James visiting Room 9.      Time to share.


Izzy is a whizz at getting jobs done and loves working on her Chromebook! She is efficient and totally focused all the time. Joyce is always listening, then problem solving and trying new things.

Caroline great info

The second task saw lots of                                    people manage to change                                              pictures, colours, shapes and                                   icons as well as add important text.

Lots of awesome advice everyone
needs to follow, to protect their devices.

Shahin Najak came and spoke on her adventures for 40 minutes and had the students enthralled. She was easy to understand and funny. The students were asked to write a quick blog about what they had learnt from her and what they thought, on their chromebooks. They had 15 minutes only and did a great job of relaying all sorts of snippets of information.

If you click on each page you hopefully can read their text.

Learning and Leadership and Late Updates!

Well we had the bicycle team in last week, but here are some great shots of us gearing up in our helmets. We had to check each others for size and suitability. It is important your helmet isn't cracked and doesn't wobble on your head. 
Then this week we had an orienteering challenge, more swimming, more chromebook learning, the student leaders starting up lunchtime games, creating i-movies about our Syndicate Treaty Rules and a fabulous Community BBQ Picnic on Friday.

The students wrote a few comments....

School is fun when you do lots of Art, and especially when we get to swim. We have made self portraits. Our class has done orienteering and has done lots of work on our chromebooks. School is fun when you get to hang out with your friends. We’ve also done i-movie acts and sorted ourselves into groups. Zoe

I really like talking with other people and coming up with lots of ideas, and making sure everyone is included in the group, and that we are only talking about what the teacher told us to talk about, not mucking around and doing nothing. Just helping the group come up with ideas. Kayci

I really liked discussing about our i-movie and practising it. It was great fun. I can’t wait to start filming with the ipads. Last week we also did orienteering in the hot sunny afternoon. We started off doing a mini circle of orienteering then we did a huge circle of orienteering. It was so tiring, I could nearly faint. After all of the up and down the hill we finally finished the circle. I took my hat off my sweaty head and I felt the back of my hat, it was soaking wet. At first I thought it was water but then I realised it was sweat. Gosh I’ve been sweating a lot today. After that everybody rushed to the water fountains because we were so tired and thirsty.Then we all sat down and talked about how to really read a map and how to get better at it. Joyce

Today is my first Leadership duty day this is going to be really fun and cool. My partners are Charlotte and Travis. We are going to play Samurai, with Room 3 it is a very fun game the samurai has a squishy noodle and the other people have to get the pegs off the samurai and you have to avoid getting hit by the samurai. The team with the most pegs win. It is a very fun game oh yeah um the samurai has to be blindfolded and has to feel if he is losing a peg! Maanov

Travis and Caroline shared information about themselves on a document. We are all learning lots about the many features in google docs and google drawing.

We  have lots of testing to do this week. This will be very new doing our tests on the chromebooks. But at the end of the week when the sun is shining again, we are off to gorgeous Cornwallis for our School Picnic. My goal this week is to make sure more photos are taken of our activities, especially at the beach.
