Star Achievers of the Week

Swimming

We have had a block of learning to swim. Everyone enjoyed taking part and learning different skills.  There are great swimming teachers who take us and make it fun.  I was able to do back stroke and Connor was able to put his head under the water.

Jordans Fish

During the weekend Jordan and his dad entered a fishing competition.  This was Jordan's first fishing competition and he was very nervous that he would not catch anything.  But guess what ?  At the last minute this fish jumped onto his line and won him the second prize of the day.  It was a great fish at 10.4 kg's.  Jordan is looking forward to next years competition.

Clay Creations

Creating clay bowls was a task that we all set out to do.  Changing a ball of clay into a bowl was done through the pinching technique.   With patience and time we created these bowls.  After they were fired they were stronger and could hold a range of things.  We enjoyed making things with clay.

Cameron's Homework

Cooking seems to be a popular topic when it comes to our Topic Challenge.  Cameron used the topic of donuts to show how yeast can be used to help things rise.  He loves cooking and history , so he told us the history of the donut.  The extra was getting to taste his homework.  History can be so yummy. 

Topic Challenge

Molly had been working hard on this Topic Challenge.  She was focusing in on, "How to make gingerbread biscuits."  They were fun to make and follow a recipes.  She thought she would bring the evidence of her homework to share with the class.  We thought she should get 10/10 for her challenge.
