Sidewinder play

The Sidewinder reading group practicing a play as part of their reading.

Python reading group

Today our group read the story Buttercup in the junior journal 18 which was a play.  This was our first day reading and performing it.  With more practice we will be so much better.

Hip hop

For sports this term we have hip hop.  Our first session was great.

Toitoi

We have had a chance to read the latest toitoi book.  One of the students from our school had their story published in this one.  His name is Konzay.

Thank you Toitoi for the chance to read stories written by children our age and for publishing our stories.

ANZAC

ANZAC is my most favourite time of the year.  I feel so grateful to all the men and women who had courage and fought for me and my freedom.

As a class we decided to create a poppy solider for our ANZAC service on the last week of term.  It was hard and took a lot of time, but we got it finished and we were all so proud of it.

Duffy books

We are so lucky to be a Duffy books school.  Just like Duffy our whole class wants to read themselves around the world and Duffy makes that happen.

Amera says "we can read them at home".
Malachi says "there are lots of pictures in the books" and Solomon said with a big grin "I love reading!!!!"
Ong Manout says "Duffy books are great for reading and I love reading too".

Swimming

Another year, another term of learning how to swim.

It was great to get into the pool during our very hot summer.  We found that the more we swam, the better we became.  It was also great splashing around and laughing with each other.
