Campaspe Soccer Tournament
On the 5th of May, year 5/6 students went to the soccer tournament at Jack Eddy oval. We played eight games over the boys' and girls' team. It was a challenging day but somehow, we managed to win one game each by scoring one goal. For the girls team, Isabella M scored the winning goal and for the boys' team, Flynn scored the only winning goal. Overall the day was really fun and I would do it again.

Market Day
A fantastic afternoon at Echuca College
Market Day - Reflection
On the 9th of May, the year 5/6s had an excursion to the College for a market day.
On the day if you had spent $10 to go on the excursion, you would get 10 tokens to spend while at the college. There was a large variety of foods that you could spend your tokens on.
While at the market, you could buy ice-creams, gifts for your mum/nan, churros, loaded donuts, surprise books, burritos, hot chocolates, soft drinks, surprise box and more!
You were also able to watch and listen people singing/playing the guitar and drums! - One of the songs they sung was Bubbly by Colbie Caillat, and Everlong by Foo Fighters!
Going to the College for a market day was such an amazing experience and we are all so grateful that we were able to go on such an amazing excursion.

As part of the Market Day, 4 students from Echuca College helped plan and organise two world war three games in their College gym.
We are very grateful and thankful that the college students did a little extra and volunteered to run some games for us. Everyone had a great time and a lot of fun.
