Skipping Display 2016

Yesterday we had our 2016 skipping display. It started off with the junior and senior skip off to see who can skip the longest. It went on for quite a while but later on Room 9 couldn't jump much longer, leaving Room 12 the champions. Not many parents came to our skipping display so we just showcased our skipping skills in front of Room 11. It was really fun watching everybody show off what they can do with a skipping rope and even though, I was just twisting the ropes I became really tired.

Painting Our Self-Portrait

Over the weeks we had been working on a self-portrait of ourselves.

 To start off our self-portrait we firstly sketched ourselves on a big piece of paper. When we were done we were only allowed to pick one colour for painting, I of course chose purple then the other colours we were to use were white and black. The way you were suppose to paint your painting was dark and light shades mixing the one colour you had chosen with black and white, although some people had used more than one colour. Soon enough after doing all these things my painting was complete. 

Tabloids

On Wednesday afternoon was tabloids where we were playing for fun with vitamins and minerals including broccoli, lemon, coconut, carrots, potatoes and oranges. There were many different activities and 8 groups where we were divided in to. I was in the 8th group and my first activity was with Mrs Golder playing with broccoli going under and over. It wasn't that difficult although it was hard playing with the little kids as they weren't sure what to do at times in all of the activities. My favorite activity was Mr Reid's where you had to throw a ball at a coconut that was on a pole and try and knock it off, I didn't knock the coconut off in the end but there is always next time.  

First Day Back At School

School had finally started after having the 6-7 week holiday. Since then it was quite difficult for me as I had started a new class, new teacher and  was getting use to everything that is expected all at the same time. Although we didn't do much on the first day we still had our first assembly as a school and settled into our new classroom. Soon we started work on our Chromebooks and looked at our new class blog for Room 12 2016. Then at 2:45 school ended for the first day back.
