Leadership role

This year I am proud to take on the role of Journalist. I look forward to this role because I love to write. It is an exciting opportunity and I can't wait to take on the job this year!!

Year Six Camp

While the rest of the school was sleeping, enjoying their last day of the school holidays the year six were awake grabbing the last of their essential camp items. Stuffing the cars full of luggage we hit the road making our way up to MERC, Long Bay Beach for the annual Year 6 Leadership Camp. It was a fun, busy and hot week with lots of activities and things to do. There was so much to do with out amazing instructors and helpers, activities like paddle boarding, archery, abseiling, kayaking, rock climbing, giants ladder, stack’em and the list goes on. After the camp day we had plenty to do at night with the camp mass, school council voting, the talent quest and even a spooky game of spot light.

My two favourite activities were rock climbing and orienteering. 

Graduation Mass

 We had our graduation for the year 6's yesterday. The Mass started at 5.30 pm and ended at 7.00 pm. It started with some songs then we heard a speech. Next up was the part where the current year 6's hand over candles to the current year 5's. I felt so excited to be able to go up on to the alter receiving my leadership candle. I can't believe that next year I will be graduating!!  

Maori

Here are a few words and phrases we learnt in Maori. They are words for food and a few other things that are food related. We have learnt the correct way to pronounce them and all about the long and short vowel sounds. Overall this year I have loved learning about different and new words and phrases.   

Jesse Tree

In Religious Education we have been learning about the Jesse tree as now it is Advent. The Jesse tree is a tree that we hang ornaments on. Each ornament symbolizes one story in the Bible. This is a page on the symbols on the tree matched  up with the story its from. I hope you like my page. 

Algebra

In maths we have been learning about Algebra. We got booklets that started off with simple questions then progressed to very hard questions. I started off with a bit of experience but that didn't stop me from being challenged. Overall I learnt a lot about Algebra!

Spud Guns

In class we have been trying to make spud guns . Both times we did this it did not work but we had fun trying. First we tried normal plastic, bendy straws which bent as soon as we stuck them into the potatoes they bent. Today we tried making them again but with two kinds of firmer straws.  They went in a lot easier but when we went to shoot them they just flopped out. This was fun although it didn't work!!
