Strength Goal Sharing

Thank you Luca for sharing your wonderful and informative power point about Manuel Neuer the Sweeper Keeper!







Technology Challenge

Task
The task was to design and build a model of a ramp with as many twists and turns as possible. The ramp needed to be at least 30cm off the ground and should carry a marble down to ground level. The marble must then roll across the floor (1 metre) to hit a target (checkpoint) 10cm wide. The groups then had 25-30 minutes to make it.


Points were be given for accuracy (hitting the target) and a point each for the number of times the marble changes direction.

 
Materials
  • 15 sheets of newspaper
  • 1 roll of sticky tape
  • 3 sheet of A4 card
  • 1 marble
Well done to Erasmus, Amani, Connor and Daniel ( The Tower of Terror) for their winning entry!!

Anzac Art


This term Room 13 have created effective Anzac art using silhouettes. To create our art we came up with an image that represented what Anzac meant to us and then used three colours to make it stand out. Some of the words that we have tried to symbolise include remembrance, peace, loss and hope.

The Highlanders came to visit!

There was great excitement today at George Street, as the Highlanders came to visit. Our class had the opportunity to meet them, have autographs signed, ask questions and some of us even got to play a game of Rippa rugby with them! What a great experience!

Cricket Festival Fun Day

A number of children from Room 13 and other senior and middle classes attended the Cricket Festival Fun Day. It was a great day where children got to show off their bowling and batting skills. Cricket is fast becoming a very popular sport at George Street with 4 teams attending the festival day.
