School Events

This is where I will show you all the things that happen at my school.

Remembrance Day

On the 11 hour, of the 11 day, of the 11 month, we stop to remember those who fought for our country. We call this special day Remembrance Day. LEST WE FORGET. Here is a prayer I wrote.

Dear Lord,

Thankyou for the soilders who fought for us and our country. Please bring them peace as they rest, and thankyou for some soliders who came home safe.

Amen

Here is a well known poem called In Flander's Field.

Camp

On Thursday the 29th of October year 4/5 went on camp. We went on camp with Mr. D, Mr. H, Mrs. R, Mrs. A, Mrs. Ar, Mrs.T, Mrs. S and Mr. M. We stayed one night. The place we went was Camp Goodenough in Bilambil, NSW.



First we went on the bus. On the bus we watched a movie called Peter Pan. It took 1 hour and 30 minutes to get there.


When we got there we had to take our luggage down a big hill. When everyone was at the bottom of the hill the instructors told us their name and then told us which cabins we were in.



After that everyone got settled into their cabins, and then had a little bit of free time while the lunch duty group set up. Duty groups are when you either have to set the table or clear the table.



For lunch we had hamburgers. On the hamburgers there were meat patties, tomato, lettuce, beetroot and cheese. After lunch everyone had to wash up their own plate, and the lunch duty clean up group cleared the table.


After all of that everyone got ready for their first activity. My first activity was initiative games. My favorite initiative game was getting into a knot and trying to untangle it.


To play it you need at least 2 people. The everyone who is playing puts in their left hand and grabs hold of another person’s left hand, but not the person next to them. Then everyone puts their right hand in and then grabs hold of another person’s right hand, but not the person next to them. Now you have to try and untangle it.




After the initiative games everyone had a shower. There was a very very long line to get into the showers. Luckily I was one of the first people in the shower.



After everyone had had a shower the dinner duty group prepared dinner. For dinner we had Lasagne and salad. For desert we had pancakes, ice cream and maple syrup.
After dinner everyone went into the hall. In the hall we had a talent show and a trivia night. First it was Mr. D’s questions. My team was called The H “N” Aiders. With Mr. D’s questions we didn’t do to wall. After Mr. D’s round we had some talent show acts. I did an act. My act was called The New Girl. It was about a girl who is new and the popular girls tease her. Next it was Mrs. R’s questions. We got all of them right. Then more talent show acts. Next was Mr. H’s question. We didn’t do to well on that either. Then more talent show acts. My team Won!!! After all of that everyone brushed their teeth then went to bed.




The next day the breakfast duty group set up and then served breakfast. For breakfast everyone had to have cereal before a hot breakfast. We had coco pops, crunchy nut, weet bix, rice bubbles, fruit, spreads, hash browns, bacon and spaghetti.



After breakfast everyone went to their activity. The activity I went to was flying fox. You had to get into a harness and then get chained to a buckle and then fly threw the sky. I thought it was Awesome.


After everyone had a go on the flying fox we had lunch. For lunch we had hotdogs. After lunch everyone got their bags, said goodbye and walked up the big hill, then loaded all of our stuff onto the bus. Then went home



I enjoyed everything we did and wished we could stay longer.

The SJV Art Show

On the 31st of July and the 1st of August was my school's art show. On Friday night was the adults only art show. Each class had to do a piece of art to be auctioned off. My class did a quilt. The theme for the school was living by the bay. On the Saturday was the kids day. There was art and craft to do. I put a painting in and my Pa bought it. I had heaps of fun, I can't wait until our next art show.

The Ned Show

On the 23 of July my school saw the The Ned Show. The Ned Show is a show about yo yos. The man who does the show has performed to the President Of The United States. His name is Jeff. He did all different tricks like walk the dog and rock the baby. You can by the yo yos at school. I had heaps of fun and soon hope I can do some cool tricks too.

African Drummers

On Friday the 17th of July some African Drummers came to my school. There was 3 boys and 1 girl in the band.The bands name was Salaka. Everybody who was there got to play the African drums. They taught us a couple of African songs. I had a really fun time and enjoyed it heaps.

Walking Weeling Wednesday

Every Wednesday my school does Walking Weeling Wednesday. That is where you have to walk to school, ride to school, catch the bus or train or carpool. The class that wins gets the Walking Weeling Wednesday trophy. If you walk, ride or carpool you get a sticker to put on your sheet. If you get 20 stickers you get a Walking Weeling Wednesday prize. I think it is a great idea to do Walking Weeling Wednesday because it keeps you fit and it makes less trafic around the school.

Reverse Garbage

On the 10th of June we had an incursion. A lady came to our school from Reverse Garbage. Reverse Garbage is an art company that reuse materials. This is a picture of my invention. It is made to hold things. Me and Taz made twins. I had heaps of fun.

PAJAMA DAY

On the 1st of June it was Pajama day. We had to bring in soup, Milo, tea, coffee and lots more. The class that brought the most things would get a packet of lollipops. It was runned by 5 year 7 girls. All of the food would go to saint Vincent DE Paul. I loved the day because you got to wear you pajamas!!! I wore my cow pajamas, my love heart slippers and my dressing gown.

Bike Ed

Every Monday the 4/5's go to bike ed. Bike ed is were you learn how to be a safe rider. We had our first lesson on the 11th of May. So far we have learnt how to start off, and that the left side is the safe side. we have to bring a helmet and water bottle. If we don't bring our helmet we can not ride. I have heaps of fun and can never wait for the next lesson.

World Maths Day

The Summer Set Celebration Of Literature

At my school we are going to be doing something called The Summer Set Celebration Of Literature. That is were 20 children get to go and meet authors and illustrators. We had to write an application telling Mrs B and Ms O why we want to go. Only years 4 and 5 got to have the opportunity to go. In my class Maddie, Hallie, Isabel, Darcy, Emmanuel and me were chosen to go. When I come back I want to achieve better story writing. I can't wait to go I am sure it will be lots of fun.

The Fires In Victoria

In Victoria there are some very bad fires. At school we are donating clothes, toys, tinned food and toiletries for the people in Victoria. The people in Victoria have nothing because the fires have destroyed the homes and their belongings, some houses have not been destroyed but it is not safe for them to go home. The truck is coming to collect all the things we have donated on Thursday the truck will take it all to Victoria. I hope all the People in Victoria are safe and hopefully the fires will be out in a couple of weeks.

Dance Cart

Every Monday for the first term we are doing Dance Cart. Dance Cart is where you learn all different types of dances. We are learning a dance to Kung Fu Fighting from Kung Fu Panda. We have 2 teachers Amy and Rebecca, they are both really nice. We have name tags so they know what our names are, if we are good we get a hole punch in the name tag. At the end of the term the teachers count up the holes in the tags and the person with the most holes gets a special prize. I am having lots of fun at Dance Cart. I can not wait untill the next lesson.
