Reflections from students....
The Flying Fox Poem
“3, 2, 1…”
I jump.
A cold breeze slithers down my face
A laugh of enjoyment goes through my body
As I plummet down to the bark.
I still feel the cold.
Shocked and proud.

“Pull, pull,pull!” Dominic called as Olivia and I went higher and higher. We were half way and I got more excited as I got higher.
“Okay girls, pull the white rope down.”
We were up the top!
Olivia pulled it and down we went.
My tummy started to feel funny. We swang across the sky. Olivia started laughing and laughing.
“Shh!” I said to Olivia.
Two people pulled us on to the yellow steps and Dominic helped us off.
I felt like I wanted to do it all over again!

Camp
Zarah and I were on the giant swing. Kids down on the ground were pulling and pulling a rope. We went higher and higher.
“Can we stop here?” I asked.
“No, we should go to the top!” said Zarah.
“Okay!”
We went to the top, which is 8 metres high!
“3, 2, 1.” Dominic yelled.
Then I pulled the rope and we swang straight across the sky!
I started laughing and laughing.
“Shh!” Zarah said.
As we were swinging back and forth, our tummies started feeling funny.
It was so much fun!

Reminder - Free Activity Day for Grade 5/6
Wednesday, 23rd May, 2018
F.A.D. is coming up! This is one of our favourite days of the school year – a day where our older students select from a range of great activities and create for themselves a timetable of a fantastic day of learning and fun. Students, teachers, parents, uncles, aunties, grandparents and friends are invited to plan and run an activity for small groups of students to do on the day. All that’s required is some enthusiasm and a willingness to have a go (as well as a current working with children check, if you are an adult)!
Here are just some ideas for activities from previous successful F.A.D.s: football/ hockey/ cricket clinics, cooking, tie-dyeing, drama games, trivia, drawing, karaoke, dance, organ dissection, soccer match/skills games, table tennis tournament, calligraphy, woodwork, crafts, card making, sushi/ pizza/ pasta making, construction, basketball match/drills, puppetry, science experiments, aerobics, cartooning, jewellery making, fishing, learning a new board or card game, how to set up a tent, etc.
If you’re interested in running an activity on the day, please talk to a Grade 5/6 teacher, get a form and return it to Fiona in Room 10.
If you would like to find out more about F.A.D. before committing, or if you would like some help deciding on an activity, feel free to discuss this with one of the 5/6 teachers or other parents who have been involved in previous years.
