Week 8 - Cross Country

The junior students ran first and all of the seniors cheered them on. Then it was time for the seniors to run. The Y6 students were the last to run.

Week 8 - Farewell

This week we said farewell to our two awesome office ladies Mrs Loader and Mrs Roberts.

In Scott Class we decided to do a skit acting out a day in the office as we see it. Simione and Ayush played Mrs Roberts and Mrs Loader. They were fantastic! Check out the faces of the audience.

Mrs Loader and Mrs Roberts...

We had tears of laughter!!

Week 8 - Planting

Scott Class and Setoga Class are currently competing to see who can grow the biggest and best plants.

On Thursday we planted our seeds. First we had to put our soil tablets on a saucer and then added 50mls of water. The soil swelled up and provided us with enough to plant the seeds. The seeds are planted in biodegradable pots so we can plant them in the group when the seedlings are big enough!

Make sure you check back for updates!

 

Week 8 - Netball Prize Giving

Week 1 Extreme Makeover - Scott Class Edition

On the first day this term I issued Scott Class with a challenge - design our classroom in the best way for us to learn.

In pairs we created a plan for how we wanted to arrange our class. We then presented our ideas to the class and identified the best parts from each plan. The best parts were then combined to make a plan for our class.

We then rearranged just about all of the furniture in our class! We love our new layout!

SPCA Board Games

Towards the end of last term Scott Class did some learning about the SPCA, animal welfare and how to care for animals. As a way to share our learning we created board games. We featured in an article in the Central Leader (which you can see online here).

This week we have been finishing off our games and trailing them. We gave each other feedback on the games. Some of them were really fun to play!

We hope to take our games to some other classes to play around our school.

Adding the finishing touches to our games

So much fun!
