• We enjoyed the vertical slide even if we didn’t go down it! – Lewis S
• We had scrumptious pizza and freezing icy poles for dinner! – Azura, Charlotte and Imogen
• I enjoyed the movie because we could watch it in our beds! – Darby
• To be honest, the best part was that I kept everyone awake with my snoring and I got a good nights sleep – Penelope
• The mirror maze was awesome! – Evelyn
• The slide was super scary and it dropped straight down but I still did it! – Lenny
• The planetarium was the best because we got to see all the planets. – Elke
• I loved everything... except for the slide. My favourite thing was the seat that took you up high. It was an awesome night, especially because of the pizza. - Ella F
• My favourite thing was the chair with the rope and the mirror maze. I was proud of myself for almost making it down the slide too. - Evie D

Learning in Week 9 and 10

Mathematics: In week 9 and 10 students will participate in a number of hands on activities relating to time, for example they may time the number of times they can complete a certain activity (e.g. star jumps) within one minute. Students will also complete a range of activities that relate 

English: Students will participate in sessions focused on the book 'Little Red Writing'. They will complete activities such as: making a prediction based on the cover, a story map to show their recognition of story elements and also a book review to reflect what they thought and felt about the story.

Our focus sounds will be 'or as in horse', 'air as in chair' and 'ou as in cloud'.

During Writing, students will be looking at poetry and different techniques used within poetry, such as rhyming.

Topic: Students will be creating a poster based on a person from their family who they will interview. Once completed students will present their poster to the class.
