Shine Week

This week it is Shine Week and today we have dressed up in orange.  The reason we dress up in orange for Shine Week is because we are donating money to the people that have experienced domestic violence.  Throughout the week the special characters have been collecting money after school. 

  

Our Play

This week we practised a play and performed it to the whole class.  This play was about a car trip when their Grandma texts some crazy things to her family.  Here is a picture of me and my group performing it.

Shrove Tuesday

Today is Shrove Tuesday we have done some cool stuff.  In the morning the whole school met on the turf to burn the palms to use the ashes tomorrow for the start of Lent tomorrow.  Shrove Tuesday is also known as pancake Tuesday so we made some pancakes.  The reason why we make pancakes is because in Jesus's time the gave up flour, eggs and all of the other ingredients that you need to make pancakes. They made pancakes and ate them on the day before Lent which is on a Tuesday.

My Mantra

This week we have been making Mantras, a Mantra is an inspirational quote that makes people keep on trying. Here is the one that I have picked.

Being Sun smart

Camp 2019

Abseiling, Orienteering, Rock Climbing, Kayaking, Stack-em, Sailing, Giant Paddle Boarding, Giants Ladder, Mountain Biking, Snorkelling and Raft building, These things are what we did at camp! In my opinion camp was so much fun, I mean, who wouldn't like pushing people off a giant paddle board! My favourite activities were Giant paddle boarding, Orienteering, Stack-em  and abseiling. Camp started on Monday the 27th of January 2019 doing three activities and applying  thousands of layers of sunblock each day.  It finished on the 1st of February 2019. It was so much fun!
