Class of the Week - 5/6LS & 5/6R

From 5/6LS...

My First Day...

The first day, the first step into my new  classroom made me feel like everyone was beaming at me. It caused me to tremble almost quake in my shoes. I had the feeling I would never get along in this class and that other students would do nothing but gossip about me. I was going to shatter. I stood there glaring down, too anxious to talk. But that was then…. 

Fortunately, I have exquisite classmates supporting me and I feel they will not let me down. Because of my astonishing classmates I have nothing to be petrified about. They are allowing me to feel that I have incredible friends. Now I come into the classroom with a bright smile and a group of friends behind me. Even if I did not know anything, having a group of encouraging friends has made me feel I can do anything. Our teacher is a bright guy who pushes me through. I have completely forgotten about being invisible that first day and will never turn back.

When I stepped into the school, I had very mixed feelings. I was very jittery, BUT really social to everyone all the same. I said hi to every student and teacher that walked by. When I got into class I was breathless, my heart was pumping really hard. I was nervous! I was kind of sweaty and I was eager to get into class because it has been so long since I had seen my friends and I wondered if they have changed. I was very enthusiastic to get into class and to be a Year 6 leader, Public Relations Captain, and meet some Year 5 and Year 6 students that I hadn't really seen. I was super excited to meet my new teacher Mr.Ru. When I got into my class I was chatting with my friends like there was no tomorrow. We did activities to learn about each other. My feelings by the end of the day were lively and cheerful but I was a bit tired! My heart was pumping normally and my hands weren’t sweaty at all!

What we've been up to so far in the Senior School and looking ahead...

 

Wellbeing

Once every day we walk around the oval and think about what we feel, hear and see.  This is called a Mindfulness Walk. When we get back into class, our teacher, Miss Rak asks us to write what we feel, hear and see. The purpose of this is to relax and be more aware of our surroundings .

Lately, we have been discussing the difference between good and bad friendships .

For example:

Good friendship Bad friendship
Trust1.Disrespecting
    2.Bonding2. Telling lies
   3.Listening to each  other 3. Speaking over each other

5/6 Sport

Sport is awesome! We do it in our everyday lives. This term, our 5/6 level has summer sports for our inter school sport. We will compete in different sports such as hotshot tennis, cricket, volleyball and softball. We will strive to have the best sportsmanship and be a team player along with striving to have the best, fair game that we can.

Year 6 

This year is very special because we get to step up and become leaders. In Year 6 we are looking forward to many things like camp. We are going to Phillip Island! One of the awesome things to look forward to is Teachers vs Students at the end of the year. Year 6’s will compete against the teachers in various sports including dodgeball. Last year we lost, but this year we WILL beat the teachers!

At the start of school we received our Year 6 rugby jumpers. As you have probably seen, Year 6 jumpers are worn basically every single day of the school year. They are special because all the Year 6 student names are on the back of the jumpers. Year 6 is going to be an exciting year!

What we're looking forward to this year (Year 6)

This year we are looking forward to Year 6 Camp because we get to do fun activities and we get to do new things.  Also Year 6 Fun Day because we get to spend time with our friends and have a good time outside of school. We are looking forward to being the leaders of our school and the way kids look up to us and helping the school to be a better place. We are also looking forward to Year 6 Graduation because we get to move on and make new friends at a new school.
