Playball!

Each of the Middle School classes got to have a Playball session, trying out lots of different games and activities with the coaches who came in to work with us.  We had a fantastic time!

                                     Room 18 had fun on Pyjama Day on the 27th of May.

Room 18 were very lucky to have the lovely Julie Purdon come to help us create some Easter treats at the end of last term.  Here are some of the photos:

                                      

The Red Helicopter!

Today it was windy, it was Wednesday and we were excited. We all were sitting down on the hard concrete. We saw the helicopter come and land on the grassy field. It was loud, its colour was red, yellow and shiny. Everyone got to look inside the helicopter and it was very cool. We saw Nikora going in the helicopter. He said it was very awesome. It was cool because we saw the helicopter launch and I was waving at Nikora. I was on the tower watching it. J

 The 5 children who raised the most money during the Chopper Challenge, and the 5 children who put in their best effort during the fitness sessions got to go in the helicopter for a ride.

 It was huge!

 Room 18 was very excited to see Nikora go in the chopper.

Collecting Data on Our Blogs

The classes have been combing the school's blogs and tallying up data we have found there - things like the number of posts, comments, widgets, and authors for each class blog. We've combined the skills we gained from our the statistics strand with ICT skills and have produced the work you see below.
