Fruit and Veges...YUM!

Our challenge for art was to do an observational drawing of a cross section of a piece of fruit or vegetable. We sketched it first, then coloured it in using pastels. We had to match the image with our drawing as best as we could to make it as 'real' as possible.

Science Rotations 2011

MorphX Creations

Room 15 children have been learning how to use 'MorphX' to show how an image can 'change' into something else. They had lots of fun experimenting with different images and facial expressions. Here are just a few for you to enjoy.

Hockey 2011

Last week we went to the hockey stadium and did some hockey lessons with Mac our hockey coach. We did this on Monday
and leant how to dribble and we knocked down some cones. We played a game when he said go and get the cones, so we did. We are going to have some more hockey coaching next week. From Matthew and Olivia (Blog Reporters).

Soccer with Owen

Owen, the man who spoke in a funny language (only joking), came to our school to teach us some football skills. We learnt different 'invasion games' and also how to work as a team. He made the lessons enjoyable and taught us some simple skills we can use in other sports. Thanks Owen for your time.

Future Olympic Swimmers

For the past four weeks, Room 15 have been attending swimming lessons at the town pools. We have made huge improvements in our swimming strokes and overall confidence in the water. We have also had lots of fun with our mates!!! A special thank you to all our amazing parents/caregivers and grandparents who came to support us and helped Mr Werder. Your help was much appreciated.
