P.E. Balancing

In P.E. Mrs McG gave us a challenge. We have been learning about balance for the past couple of weeks. She tested us with this course. We had to travel along the playground, balancing on the obstacle course without using our hands. It was really hard to get past the black tube part of the playground because it wobbled as we went across it. It was hard to balance on it. It was a fun challenge. Next time Mrs McG said we are doing one on the Junior Playground. We all had a couple of turns at it, only 1 person managed to complete the task successfully. 
We have learnt that to balance you need to use your arms to hold yourself steady, you need to use your muscles to support your body.




















Winter Sport

Every Friday afternoon the year 5s and 6s head down to Hornby High School to play Winter Sport. We get the option of playing Soccer, Hockey, Rugby, Netball. We are really lucky to get this opportunity.

Bronx plays Rugby for the SHS Reds and really enjoys it. He likes how every two weeks their team has a bye and they get to play Basketball. Bronx enjoys Caleb being in his team because he keeps on doing three-pointers in half court and gets all the points!

Mitchell plays Soccer  for SHS United. He likes playing soccer because it is a really unique team. He thinks his best skill is getting past people without loosing the ball.

Aliyah plays Hockey for the SHS pickup Sticks. She enjoys playing Hockey because it is her favourite sport. She likes attacking in a game which means trying to get the ball of the opposition.

Mikhanya plays Netball. She enjoys playing because her mum is the coach is her team winns lots of games.

All of the games are really fun. We would like to know if you guys play any Winter Sport.


Minecraft Maps

This morning in maths we were making Minecraft maps. We had to draw a map that looked like we were in survival mode. The maps are helping us to learn about position and direction. Some of us found it hard to draw the characters and objects, some of us found it hard to think of things to add to our map as we didn't know much about Minecraft. We enjoyed drawing and colouring in our maps and found it easy to draw around the outside of our island. Next week we are going to add grids over top of our maps and write some questions about the location of different things on our maps. If you have any feedback or ideas for us please put a comment down below. Thanks from Miss Williamson's home room.

The Lorax

In Literacy with Mrs McGuinniety we have been reading the story by Dr. Suess called The Lorax. We talked about the characters, setting, author's purpose, the problem and the solution. We looked at the characters in detail. The Lorax and The Once-ler. We used the story to find wow words and sentences that describe what they looked like and their personalities.

We described The Once-ler using wow words. We compared The Lorax and The Once-ler. We looked at what was the same and what was different about them.

Hell-electric Guitar Book Review

hell-ectric guitar by Brain McGinn

in Mr Breach's literacy's class we are learning to look more deeply into the character. my opion on the book is good because its kinda like a mysterious book the main character is frank he is a bad guitar player until he gets this magical guitar. we have to do work sheets they were character inference word investigation. I wonder sheet they helped me think more about the story. my favorite part was when frank was trying to open a cupboard to get the guitar. recommend this book for 9-12 yrs i rate this 4-5.
