Year 5 News

From Tessa Patrao, Year 5D teacher

The Grade 5s have had a big week. First they completed their PAT Reading and Maths tests and then finished Friday off with the fun of the Fete. Here are some recounts from Grade 5 students about their time at the Fete. 

The Set up 

The behind the scenes view of the fete. Each year level had the assignment to set up and prepare a stall for the fete each stall was different.  For Example the year 5s had the Chocolate Flick! We Were all so EXCITED When we found out that that was the stall that we got to set up. In our classes we Were divided into seperate groups of our choice, then we had cardboard boxes and got to use our creativity to design and decorate the boxes.Once we had finished we went over to start stacking and setting up the boxes. All the other year levels started setting up to. 

The Food 

There was a lot of colourful foods at the fete. Wherever you went you could see that peoples mouths were full of  blue fairy floss, salty popcorn and hot potato twirls. There was so many people lining up for Zooper Doopers and soda drinks like Coke ,Kirks and  fruit juice. As soon as you walked past Al Macan, you would find yourself straight at Billy van Creamy ice cream truck. Delicious!! 

The Rides

There were so many fun and different rides all over the oval like,the bouncy house aka treasure island, the atomic drop for Daredevils, The Surfs Up Bus for chill riders and one of my favourite ones the  spinning cars! And  of course Turbo tubs! There was a ride for everyone big or small! I spent almost all of my time on those rides! Yes it was that fun!! ✨

The Activities

My favourite thing to do is the petting  zoo because you get to hold a bunny. I held a white snowy bunny with one blue eye and one Hazel brown eye. It also had grey spots. There was one stall named guess the baby. I got them all correct so I got 5 bracelets. You could choose which grade you wanted but your year level was recommended. There was also a band playing in the background as well as the choir, you could hear the music across the field.

Finishing the box I headed outside, 

It was lush green and the people were colourful and bright. 

I saw my box and I was full of pride. 

As I got a counter, I got lollies. It was full of delight. 

I was full of joy when I went into the library with my friends and we bought a toy named Jerry. After we went to the Fairy Flos station and we saw hundreds of families waiting in the line, when it was our turn my mouth was watering. After all that sweetness we went to the petting zoo. My little cousin and I sadly didn’t have tickets, one friend kindly gave my cousin 7 tickets but I didn’t go. My other friend stayed with me. That’s how kind my friends are.

For a whole week the Year Fives designed boxes for the Fete including; Minecraft, ocean, and food themes. At the Fete there was tons of rides, food and fun games designed by teachers. At the Year Five stall when you bought a token you got a raffle ticket, during the Fete you could go on rides, my favourite being the massive bouncy castle.
