YMCA

In Term 2 we were lucky enough to have the YMCA come in and teach us new physical skills to use in games. We played 2 sports, soccer and netball. “It was fun playing both sports and learning how to control the ball properly” said John. Floyd’s funniest bit was kicking the ball straight through the leader’s legs. During this time the class got better at throwing netballs into the hoops and controlling the soccer ball with our feet. We loved it.

The Bucket Challenge!

 

On Friday the 17^th of August 2012 Manchester Street School had an enviro day. Everyone dressed green and each class had to create something out of a green bucket and some green materials. Some kids from room I (Kaylen , Tiana , Madison, Andrew and Gabi.) had the job of creating the green creation. They created the one tree hill. Once the whole school had voted for their favourite green creation, Room I felt special when they found out that our class creation came second!!!

Bucket Challenge

On the 17^th of August it was Enviro Action day. We had the bucket challenge on this day. Our class brainstormed some ideas and decided to make a hill. We got started creating and making in a small group. Kaylen, Gabi, Tiana, Madison and Andrew had to make it in a time frame of 2 hours. After 2 hours the end result was amazing. We decided to name it One Tree Hill, and even better, we didn’t need the teachers help! After judging had finished the results came over the speaker. Room C got 1^st, we got 2nd!! And Room O got 3^rd. We were so happy about the results!

The disco was a huge hit! It was on Friday the 22^nd of June. $1,000 dollars was fundraised. Everyone really enjoyed it, and had a lot of fun!

There were even spot prizes for the good dancers.

There was an awesome D.J playing great songs, and there were great singers in the crowd. It was a fun night and we really enjoyed it.

Green Enviro Day!

On Friday17^th of August the school held an Enviro- Action Day and the theme in Room I was Green Eggs and ham. We dressed up in green clothes and ate yummy green jelly for morning tea. Part of this day was the Bucket Challenge which was when we had to create a piece of art involving a bucket, paper, and other different materials!

We as a class came up with the idea of a hill which we named ‘One Tree Hill’

Another part of this day was called ‘Swap it don’t trash it!’ which was when we brought a toy, book or game that we no longer wanted, and put it in a box for someone else. Next the box was taken into the hall to be displayed by the Enviro-Kids. People then chose the gift they wanted and took back to their classroom. Here are some photos from the day…

Team Breakfast!

What a wonderful team breakfast we had as a Senior Team. It was a VERY enjoyable morning together.

The children turned up at the school hall at 8am to share a breakfast together. Many came in their PJ’s (as this was the optional theme).

There were so many options to select from e.g. Weetbix, porridge, fruit, dried sultanas, eggs, baked beans, eggs, toast with honey and Vegemite and also cold and hot drinks.

There were seconds, and thirds, available and NO child was left hungry or wanting more!

Here are some of the photos from our shared morning breakfast…
