SOCCER TIME

Yesterday ,on the 16th of  May the year 5 and 6 students played a game of soccer against Sawyers Bay school.  In the first half it was a good game .  Everyone was warming up by passing the ball and dribbling carefully.  When the whistle went  for the first half ,all the N.E.V. players ran to Mr Andrew in the middle of the pitch to have a discussion on the next things they were going to work on in the second half .  Every 1 got in there places ready to start the next half. We scored 2 goals because of an awesome pass.  The first goal was scored by Rory then about 15 minutes later Cameron O scored another great goal. Fifteen  minutes later the whistle went .   Game over with the final score at 2-0.

Lets get swimming

In the first week of term 2, room 5 and the rest of the school went to Jill Clarkes Swimming Program. This was for two weeks. In our class swimming there were three groups. Beginner, intermediate and expert. All the kids were kicking and splashing the grown ups. We all practiced four different strokes including freestyle, backstroke, breaststroke and butterfly (butterfly is pretty hard).   The swimming instructors were really nice (and knew a lot about swimming). Our student teachers and adults got quite wet when they sat on the chairs. We had alot of fun learning how to swim.

Having fun with music

For discussion group, Rv brought his violin to school. It looked very delicate. He showed us the rosin and how to put it on the bow. . The rosin is a wheel that you rub it against the bow and it makes it more smooth when you play it.   Rv showed us the first 4 notes of the violin. It was a little out of tune but it was okay.   The violin case was a blue velvet with two bow holders. It was really cool !

A Dragon comes to school

On Tuesday the 16th of April,Jordan brought his Australian bearded dragon called Puff to school. Every one enjoyed him but Olivia got a bit of a fright when Puff ran over to her while we were sitting on the mat..
Rory said that he really enjoyed seeing Jordan's bearded dragon Puff.  He had seen it a couple of times at his house but this time it was really the best .   Rory liked watching Puff charge at him while he was sitting on the mat.  It was a bit scary but not to much .

Jazmin really enjoyed having Jordan's bearded dragon at school. It was very exciting seeing it in real life instead of a picture as she had never seen one before.

Art Gallery

Last Tuesday, Rm 5 went to the Art gallery. Mr Neumegan, talked to the children about insects. They looked at arrange of paintings ,watched  some films  and got to sing a song.   After that, they went into the art classroom ready with lots of ideas. In there they started to draw an insect. There was a whole range of insects to chose from to help with our sketching. There were spiders ,wasps and lots of other things.   We started to draw the heads, the body's all falling off the page.   When we were finshed drawing we  coloured them in with bright crayon. We covered it up with blue pastel then with something sharp we scraped away some of the crayon, shading the insect.   Dye was used was used for the background along with a range of coloured stickers..

Golf with Melanie

In March, Room 5 had Melanie who came to our school to teach golf.  She came around 12:00 and taught the basics .  Room 5 started off with small rubber balls then moved onto tennis balls. Some people hit the tennis balls to their partners that were  standing on the other side of the field.  Finally, they moved on to rubber golf balls.  Some hit them far and some not so far,but everyone went very well.  Well done to everyone who participated.
