On Monday, Grade 5 and 6 Huon and Sassafras students organised a water fight on the oval. The weather was perfect as it neared 30 degrees. No one was safe - including the staff. Teachers and TAs were actively targeted. Poor Mr Prichard ended up soaked when he was helping students fill their water guns. It was a great way to finish up the year.

On Tuesday, we all went to Bellerive Park and then to Village Cinemas to watch Runt. Grade 5's then came back to school and Grade 6 students had some time playing the games in Intencity and then went to battle it out in games of laser tag. We finished off with a pizza lunch. A great end to a great year!
