Walk-A-Thon
On Friday 11th August we continued with our regular House Colour Competition. This week it was a Walk-A-Thon. There were two courses, one for the Preps, Ones and Twos and one for the Threes, Fours, Fives and Sixes. The Juniors walke from the school yard, between the church, along Avoca, Birmingham and Somerville before re-entering the school yard. The Seniors walked along Somerville, Fehon, Avoca, Birmingham and Somerville before re-entering the school.
A very big thank you to our parent helpers - Desi, Mandy, Elise, Claire and Adam who helped to supervise the students along key points on the course.
All students participated fully, with quite a few students completing 11 or more laps, which is a remarkable achievement for the 40 minutes of Walk-A-Thon time.
The final results were:
Yellow House - 238 points
Red House - 300 points
Blue House - 335 points
Red House - 311 points

Cooking in the 1/2's:
Last Thursday both 1/2 grades got together to practice our cooking skills through making a fruit salad. The students got into groups of 4 and grabbed a kid friendly knife, chopping board and apron then got to work cutting a chosen fruit. They worked together to create a fruit salad which consisted of apples, pears, oranges and rock melon. The students had fun trying to work together to cut there chosen fruit to make a fruit salad. Whilst it was an messy activity, the students loved it especially after seeing what they had made. We had lots of fun and look forward to completing another cooking activity in the future.
