Room 11 have been working last term and this on some art based on the work of Raewyn Harris. Here is some of her art.
On Friday it was Pink Shirt Day at school. This initiative was set up after a young boy was bullied for wearing a pink shirt.
On Thursday it was National Shake Out Day. Room 11 learnt about what to do if there is an earthquake.
The children have been very busy publishing their cross country descriptive paragraphs. Here are a few to read...
Butterflies started to flutter as we lined up at the start of the cross-country. When I was in the middle of the race I wanted it to be over. My heart felt like it was going to pop out. As I zipped past kids the wind was in my face. I came through the shoot, and it was finally over. Whew! Written by Zara
I did the x-country. The great Mr Goulstone said "On your marks, get set, go!" The breathtaking race began. I wizzed down the hill and sprinted when I got to the top forest. I'm almost there... I'm almost there. Yay I came 8th! Written by Caleb
Yesterday was the amazing cross-country. When Mr Goulstone called the Year 4 boys there were butterflies in my stomach. Mr Goulstone said go! I zoomed off and I was mashed in some fast runners. I was so tired when it was done. I placed in 6th and Henry came 1st. Written by Jett
I heard Mr Goulstone say line up. My face turned bright red. 3...2...1 Go! Before thinking I skidded around the corner. I could see the glimmering playground disappear as I sped up the hill. I could hear Hartly barking madly at everyone who ran past. Halfway through the race my head started to spin like a hurricane. Finally I could just see the finish line. Yay! I came 10th!

3... oh no it's starting. 2... OK fine! Go! I zoomed off and got so close to Henry. Arg, a stitch! I managed to stay close to him. I sprinted over the hill exhausted. I saw Hartly and that gave me a boost. A few mins later I was so close to being done. What Stirling! I saw mum! This is for you mum! I overtook Stirling as fast as lightening. Yay! I was 18th!

I leapt out of bed and I knew it was cross-country. I was scared to run but I still did it. As I was running it got hotter and hotter. It felt like I was on fire, but I wasn't! When I finished I felt like I had succeeded! Written by Mia
My heart was pumping like a volcano, it felt like it was going to explode. I sprinted across the field. On my 2nd lap Mrs Davis shouted "Go Yvonne!" I giggled. Hartly was going wild. I heard the middle school cheering Go Yvonne! Written by Yvonne
Today I was scared because it was cross-country. It took forever and finally it was the Year 3 boys race. I bolted across the field. My heart was beating so hard. I thought it was going to pop! Finally we finished. I'm pretty sure I came 26th. Henry came 1st! Written by Lochie
I was nervous because people were shouting Endurance. I saw the playground sing like bubbles. When I was sprinting down the hill I saw Hartly barking, when I sped past. Finally I finished. I felt great but mostly exhausted for trying my best! Written by Laithan
Mrs Hansen has a new lamb called Studly and we got to watch him being fed. For some children this was their first time seeing a lamb being fed.
Well the time has come to say goodbye to my blog. I started this blog in March of 2017 when I moved into Room 11 to keep my families in t...
