Peace One Day Taster Lunch

MY REFLECTION
This is the taster lunch that 3 Year 6 classes did to tolerate each other more and understand why they eat the food that they brought in. Everyone had to bring in a plate of food that was cut into peices so then people can have a little taster of the food.
I brought in chocolate fudge cake because it is a family favourite that my family likes.
This was a really cool activity to do.

Literacy Week


On Monday it was national literacy day. Rm 27 and Rm 22 decided to have buddy reading and make monster bookmarks. My partner was Klowie and she liked my monster book mark and she wanted us to be monster bookmark twins. So I helped her draw the eyes and eyebrows and then she cut them out.

Tip Top For Schools


Today was the Tip Top for Schools day.
There was approx 13 primary schools and a total of 710 children who gathered at Edgewater College to enjoy a day full of fun games and excitement.
It was alot of fun. We had 8 different activities to participate in.
They were really good Team Building activities.
My favourite was "Sponge Bob"
In this game each team had to stand in a straight line. There was a bucket full of water and 2 sponges. The first person in the line had to pick up the sponge full of water and pass the sponge over their head to the next person. That person had to put it through their legs and so on until the last person in the line had to run down to a bucket and squeeze all of the water in. They then had to run to the front of the line and start all over again.
At the end of the day, everyone got a Big Surprise, all of the participants received a medal and a popsicle.
When I was leaving my fun filled day, a saleswoman gave us some free muffins.
I wish I could go again. I enjoyed myself alot.
