Stories, Inquiry and Swimming

This week Theresa has been reading us a story after lunch each day. So far we have read 'The Last Resort' by J.Patrick Lewis and Roberto Innocenti, 'My Uncle is a Hunkle' by Lauren Child, 'The Whisper' by Nick Butterworth, and 'Billy' by Kate De Goldi. They were all very different from each other.

On Thursday, some children went to the Central Zone swimming sports.

The people from our class who went were Asia, Hannah, Jessica, Jackson, Charquera and Daniel. Jackson got into the Inter-Zone. Jude taught us for the day because Theresa took them.

The students have been giving their Inquiry Presentations to the class.

It has been very interesting as the students asked some very good questions to research and have found a great deal of information about life on the Nile, both past and present. Well done guys! (Theresa)

Next week will be Book Week. We will be having a teacher come into our class every day after lunch to read us a book. On Friday, students are asked to dress up as a favourite book character. We hope EVERYONE will participate in dressing up.

We will also be visited by two children's authors on Thursday, Janice Marriott and Jan Farr. Have a look at Janice's website to learn about what she has written. http://www.janicemarriott.com/ (Theresa)

Also next week, a lot of people are going to the Winter Sports Festival with Theresa. They will be doing soccer, netball, mini-ball or hockey.

It has been a great week!
