This year we have 31 students in our class 17 in year 6 and 14 in year 5.As we approach the end of term 1 it is fun to look back and reflect on some of the highlights.

Cinderella

On Tuesday March 17th 2009 , the Giacomo Rossini Opera group came to our school. They performed Cinderella for us. There were a few additions ;one of the stepsisters was a doll and there was a puppet mouse named Rupert .It was an entertaining experience that everyone enjoyed . The best part was probably the fairy Godfather's spell :Mumbo Jumbo , Alacizam, Hakuna Matata!

Art work

The Man from  Snowy River & Margaret Preston

The Man from Snowy River is a poem written by Banjo Patterson. To go with our poem everyone in the class painted their own vision of a part from the poem. Most  people painted a horse surrounded with mountains in the outback. In Art we have also used crayons to draw  a picture of a tea set by Margret Preston. Everyone  had to use black and white crayon and then two colours of their own choice. We then did another painting by Margret Preston. It was a picture of trees dying  in front of mountains in a dry area. We all mixed our own colours  and created our interpretations of all the paintings

Stage 3 Working Models

During term 1, Stage 3 had to construct a working small to medium sized model for homework. This was a very exciting and enjoyable task for us. We especially enjoyed presenting them to our own and other classes. We demonstrated how they work. In our class we saw models such as: a tram station, a wishing well, catapults, wind mills, different kinds of amusement park rides, a few different kinds of cars and a lolly machine.
