FREE is gooood!!

This Friday the 30th of March is our last Fruju Friday for the summer.  The PTA would like to thank you for supporting Fruju Friday, by making this week FREE Fruju Friday.
Each student will be given a ticket by their teacher on Friday for one ice block, which they can redeem after school.  No ticket no free ice block, no exceptions.  Parents and siblings sorry, but you will still need to pay for yours.   It has been a very popular fundraiser, and a great way to end our week!  Thank you to all our helpers.

Where our rubbish can go -

We've been looking at leaders in class as part of our Inquiry learning and have been thinking about how 'we' can be a leader too!  We made a Cause and Effect flow chart that shows where the rubbish can go that we bring to school.  Then we talked about how we can be a leader by doing the right thing with rubbish to help care for the environment we live in.

Good times at Ripper Rugby

We had loads of fun recently ripping it up on our school field playing Ripper Rugby with Room 17 - thanks Mr J for reffing for us!

Swimming Carnival (K.F.)

My favourite part was when you put your nose on the ball. The water was cold but it was good because it was a hot day.

Swimming Carnival (M.A.)

We got to balance the ball with a cone and we got to pretend that we were riding a horse. But we had to have a partner to ride behind the person at the front.

Swimming Carnival (R.F.)

Everyone had a turn for a swim line and there was a lot of waves and splashes everywhere. After the swim line we had some fun relays in the pool. The trickiest one was the handstand in the water.

Swimming Carnival (S.D.)

On Friday it was very sunny and it was awesome because it was our swimming carnival day. My favouite relay was the huge whirlpool because you go very very fast. The one I didn't like was when you carry a partner in the pool because it was quite embarrassing being carried by a boy.

Swimming Carnival (S.A.)

My favourite relay was when you hold the ball on a cone. It was a nice and sunny day on Friday and we had a great time. After we had a turn and got out of the pool everyone was shivering.

Swimming Carnival (Y.L.)

Last Friday I did not go swimming because I forgot my togs. I Looked at the swimming pool and the horse is fun and the ice cream is fun too. My sister went swimming and I looked at her playing in the swimming pool and I was a bit envious.

Swimming Carnival fun (E.H.)

On a really hot and sunny day we had our year 3 swimming carnival. At the end Blake house won by getting an extra ten points for sitting up nicely. I liked the ice cream relay the best because we were so close to winning only one person was really slow and it was a girl.

Swimming Carnival (M.T.)

We played games and Blake house won . After the relays we made a whirlpool and then we had to carry other people but they were really big to carry .

Swimming Carnival (R.C.)

First  we  had  the  ice cream  relay  then  we  had  to  push the ball with our head or our nose or our knees, but not our hands. My favourite bit was the whirlpool because  every time I went around I got faster.

Swimming Carnival (S.C.)

Last Friday I did not go swimming but I did have fun watching. We were not allowed to talk when they were giving instructions. The best bit was the ice-cream relay because it looked delicious!

Awesome Swimming Carnival (J.H.)

On Friday it was the swimming carnival and only year 3's went.  It was so hot I wanted to go in the water quickly.  The whirlpool had really strong currents, but that made it fun trying to swim against it.

Swimming Carnival recount (O.R.)

The first thing we did was balance a ball on a cone. It was hard to do that because it was heavy and big. The second thing I liked was the noodle horse game because I love horses.

Swimming Carnival (H.T.S.)

On Friday last week the Year 3's had a swimming carnival.  Mr Hayward had a big loud hailer and it was so loud that it hurt my ears. We did a relay where we had to carry other people.  Marshall carried me.  He was strong.

Swimming Carnival (M.P.)

On a hot and sunny day on Friday last week it was the swimming carnival. My favourite relay was when you had a partner to carry across the pool. When we got out of the pool we lay outside for a bit. Then we played stuck in the mud to warm up.

Swimming Carnival (S.B.)

On Friday last week I was away but all the Year three children went to the awesome swimming carnival at the school pool.
Luckily it was nice and sunny because our pool can be really cold.
Sometimes Mr Hayward spoke through the  loud hailer. Some children were near him and their ears got so sore.
I wished I could have been there - but I had a great time at the wedding I went to instead. 

The Swimming Carnival (J.T.)

On a hot and sunny day on Friday last week it was the Year 3 swimming carnival. We did relay races like balancing a ball on a cone.

Swimming Carnival (J.L.)

 My favourite relay was the ice cream relay because I thought I couldn't do it but when it was my turn I tried it and it was easy peasy and I was suprised that I did it. After that Wayne said to us, "we are going to play and make an enormous giant whirlpool."

Swimming Carnival (J.F.)

My favourite thing was the whirlpool.  All the children were running around the edge of the pool and then we turned around, but it was so hard to walk.  I was getting pushed by the strong current.

Swimming Carnival recount (J.W.)

It was fun cheering for our house. I cheered for Batten but they lost points for talking too much. It was so hot it felt like I was melting and I wished I was in the pool as well.

Swimming Carnival (R.W.)

On an awesome sunny day last Friday the year 3's had their swimming carnival. We made a huge, humongous whirlpool and all the kids did it. Mr Hayward my teacher had a loud speaker to explain the relays and Wayne did it in the pool too. It was lovely and sunny but the pool was very cold.

Swimming Carnival (L.S.)

When we got in the pool we did lots of relay races like the ice cream  relay.  At the end we made a giant whirlpool and that was my favourite part  because we made really massive waves.

Swimming Carnival 2012 (K.C.)

We had some very cool relays. We had a noodle race.  I was in the front of the noodle and my partner was at the back.  It was awesome and I liked that relay a lot.  Then we formed a cool whirlpool.  We had to change ways but it was very hard to change because the water was moving fast like a giant washing machine.

The Spectacular Swimming Carnival (M.B.)

On a boiling hot sunny day we went to our Year 3 swimming carnival. We did 6 spectacular games or relays. My favourite game was the humongous whirlpool. I liked it because it was hard to walk back against the current.

Swimming Carnival recount (J.S.)

It was a very hot sunny day when the Year 3's  had our swimming carnival. When we got there we had to go into our house teams. We made a giant whirlpool and it looked like a washing machine.

Swimming Carnival (H.A-S.)

When we all arrived I was nervous.  When we did the race the water was pushing me backwards and I thought that I was going to lose the race.  I also thought that my ice cream was going to fall off.  I had so much fun at the swimming carnival with my friends and teachers.  My Mum and my little sister Leen were so proud of me.

P.T.A. family picnic

We had a fun night on Friday with takeaway food, a lolly scramble and a great parents vs students soccer match.  Fortunately there were no major injuries to any children or adults!   

Swimming Fun

We had an awesome middle block cooling off in our school pool playing all sorts of crazy relay games. The giant whirlpool was wicked! Check out these photos that Mrs Reid kindly gave Mr Hayward because he forgot the camera - oops!
