POUNAWEA SCHOOL CAMP

For the last week of Term 1 Room 6 headed down to Pounawea for our much anticipated school camp.  We had the best time, we were physically challenged, we all had a go at doing new things, we supported and encouraged each other.  Mrs Hunter and Mrs B were very proud of all of the students.  Camp was also an ideal place to see all of our Ourtam Challenges put into practise.

"This is a hold-up, hand over your money!"

Room 6 took part in one of school's more creative fundraising events - holding up the Cavalcade.  In order to look the part the students dressed up as cowboys and cowgals.  A lot of fun was had by all involved - thank you so much to the generous cavalcaders who were part of the heavy wagon trail.

Luke's Science Badge

Luke has taken on the challenge of completing a science badge.  As part of this he had to construct a bridge out of Lego that could hold a 500g weight.  Good work Luke!

Weetbix Tryathlon

Bridgette, Caleb, Finn, Logan and Luke all competed in the Weetbix Tryathlon, they look super with their t shirts and medals.  All of the children in Room 6 will soon be taking part in the school triathlon - either as a member of a team or as an individual.
