Duffy books



Today Avril received the Duffy book in assembly. Avril is always so encouraging and supportive to her classmates. She always congratulates the other kids or tells them "good try". What an awesome citizen!
Room 7 is very lucky to have such a cool kid in their room!

Tennis with Marcel


Today Room 7 had a tennis session with Marcel. It was so much fun! We were working on our forehand. Then we played vollies against each other. It was great! We have really enjoyed learning new skills in tennis. Watch out Serena Williams and Roger Federer, here come the kids in Room 7.

Newspaper challenge

Fun times in Room 7 today.


Mrs Fulford gave us a challenge today!

We had to...

  • Work together to create a newspaper wheel.
  • Use our wheel to race the other groups to the finish line.
  • Use only newspaper and cellotape.
  • Have fun!

CHALLEGE ACCEPTED!!!

 


 
Our race ended in giggles and laughter. No one actually won but we all had fun trying. If we did this activity again we decided we would used more cellotape and fold the newspaper to make it stronger.
 

That was summer

Room 7 had fun writing about our holidays this week. We used a poem by Marci Ridlon called summer as motivation. We brainstormed all of the different things that we did then used our senses to describe the experience.



Here are a few of our finished poems...

Remember when me and mum went to the beach.
I could feel the soft sand on my warm feet.
That was summer!
Remember the day when me and my friends
had a humongous water fight at Nan's house.
I could feel the cold water running down my face.
That was summer!
By Harlem
 
 
Remember the day at the cold beach when
mum splashed the water in my face.
That was summer!
Remember when I was jumping on the trampoline.
I jumped so high that I almost touched the top of my large, tall house.
That was summer!
Remember the day when my mum and me ate fish and chips.
I could taste the salty chips in my mouth.
That was summer!
 
By Giovanna
 
 
Remember when I was at the top of the fearfall.
I could see for miles and miles and all the mountains.
That was summer!
Remember when I went fishing and I could smell the dead fish.
Remember when I went bowling with Laz
and I knocked down all the pins.
That was summer!
