Rugby 7's Tournament (Tuesday) On Tuesday the year 7 and 8's (and a couple year 6's) will be attending the Rugby 7's tournament on Tuesday.  - Good Luck!  Fun Run (Friday) On Friday is the whole school Fun Run. We each got handed out a sponsorship booklet and we had to raise as much money as we could for the event. After the fun raising we get to choose a prize. Some of us are still fundraising and at the moment I have funraised $55.70. There is going to be a dress up theme for the fun run but we haven't decided yet! (I hope it's rainbow!)

Here is a google slide presentation I made with photos of our visit to Shanty Town! Take a look....

Yesterday we went to Shantytown for the day. We got dressed up in olden day clothes and some of the teachers and parents even did too! The girls had to wear a dress, a pinafore and a bonnet. The boys wore pants, a long sleeved tee-shirt and a hat that they had to tip to us. I was quite funny seeing everyone dressed up in olden day clothes that we would not were toady.  We had to behave like people did in 1800's and said "Yes Mam" every time the teacher asked or said something. Those teachers were Miss Mears and Miss Barba.  The most fun thing to me was when we had to take photos of us dressed up in costumes doing a job that they had to do back then.  On my groups sheet of paper, we had entertainment and hospitality. I dressed up as a Kan Kan Girl, Katie was playing the piano, Nicole was a waiter and Mia was a bar tender.  It was also quite fun when we had make a pack that was water proof and easy to carry. My team for that challenge was Damon, Jacob, Nicole ...

In maths, I have been working on multiplying using tidy numbers. I created a DLO afterwards to show my learning and I am now sharing it to you. Here is my DLO.... I hope you learn something!

This book that I read contains several very funny short comics. It has just over 120 pages in it. This book is written by Matt Groening. I would recommend it for year 6 and up.
