Wheels Day

Fundraising for our Camp in Term Three is underway. In Week 10 of Term One the Senior School put on a Wheels and Food Day with a Bake Sale at Lunchtime. We also sold American Hotdogs at morning tea. It was a great success. Unfortunately the weather meant we couldn't have the Wheels Day component of the day so we had to postpone that until Week 11.

Bringing our wheels to school is always a heap of fun! With the new classroom construction happening at one end of the school, the driveway was a no go area but that didn't matter. the many different types of wheels mixed and mingled with no upsets, mixups or tragedies! As well as wells we used other fun school equipment for students that didn't have wheels to bring. These included trolley boards, stilts, moon hoppers and unicycles. Room 9 had all kinds of wheels and were responsible for helping those from other classes as well.

 We think we will have another Wheels Day this year, because it is a heap of fun and we learn new skills from each other and with each other.

Room 9 Students

Room Nine has 26 Year 5 and Year 6 Students in 2017. We are a 1:1 device classroom for our second year. All our Year 6's have had a year of experience and with their expertise and help the Year 5 students are learning fast!! In Term One we created a Google Drawing about ourselves and also wrote Bio poems about ourselves. We have put them all together into one slideshow.

Creative Writing

Over the last 4 weeks we have had Creative Writing Sessions 3-4 times a week. Each day there is a different focus and a starter to get us going. We can choose any style of writing we like but need to use the focus or picture in that days writing. Room 9 students have loved choosing their writing style and have come up with amazing extracts.  Some examples are below and more will be on our individual blogs too. What would you write if you were given these starters?
