Term 3 - Week 5

Lucia was awarded the 'Physically Active Learner Award'.

Lucia has a great competitive attitude but also follows the rules of fair-play so that everyone has fun.

She is a great swimmer, is deadly in dodgeball, does gymnastics and just loves any chance to be outside and active. Keep up the great work Lucia!

 As part of our forces unit we looked at the stored energy that is suddenly released when we used the catapults that we made (thanks so much to our students from the enrichment programme that taught us how to make them).  The force could make a marshmallow hit the ceiling as it turns out!

We began to practise our sketching skills with a few face sketches, later we will be doing self-portraits.

 In our Chinese lesson we looked at Chinese numbers and practised putting them in order.

Our swimming lessons have begun! Each day we will have an early lunch (12:15) and then get on the bus at 12:40, our lessons begin at 1:00.  We will be back at school at about 2:30.  Remember to pack your togs each day!

 You can tell that the students are really thinking: 

"I wish I was back at school doing maths and writing".

 We even got a surprise on Tuesday when Mrs Pearson and Zico joined us for a play in the lazy river!
