We gathered our running shoes, running shorts and lunch

Set off in the buses, all with a hunch

That today would be awesome, tiring but fun

Cos the weather was perfect - just right for a run!

 

We arrived with a bump and a clunk and a cheer.

Glad to get off the bus and announce “We are here”.

Off to our House teams, red, yellow and blue

Not to miss green who were there cheering too!

 

We lined up all a ready to hear the gun start

Ready, set, bang! What a fright for our heart!

The races were long and hard and far

But all came through them with hardly a scar!

 

Some jumped and some ran and some yelled and some screamed

All had a great time, but then ran out of steam.

Back off to school and the day was near done

That’s it for this year and the “Carnival of Fun”.

         

 

 

 

Premier’s Sporting Challenge!

The AllStars are on track for Diamond level in the supreme sporting challenge that is the Premier’s Sporting Challenge.

 

All schools are encouraged to participate in daily activities and exercise. Everyone’s individual minutes of sporting activity are added together and then averaged to give a class total.

 

Bronze Level = 30 minutes a day

Silver Level = 45 minutes a day

Gold Level = 60 minutes a day

 

  

 

With extraordinary perseverance and application, the AllStars are aiming at the most prestigious level – Diamond Level, which is an average of 80 minutes a day.

 

To hone our skills and improve our fitness we have embarked on a rigorous but interesting regime of games and sports to keep our interest and enthusiasm high.

 

This has included relays, endurance running, sports (T-ball, basketball, soccer and cricket), games (dodge ball, Gaol and French cricket), skipping, hula-hooping, hitting, batting, dancing, netball, touch footy, goal shooting, serving, and kickball!

 

 

 

 

 

Whew!!!!!

 

Other sporty AllStars also increase their activity levels at home after school – some activities include:

soccer, walking, karate, walking the dog, judo, bike riding, tennis, swimming, jogging, rugby, hiking and walking to and from school.

 

We are coming to the end of the PSC and think that we will need a rest at the end!

 

Can you think of any other sports or skills we might try in the last few weeks of the challenge?

 

How much physical activity do you do?

 

Reading Circles

We have been reading some interesting books in “Reading Circles” this term. Mrs P brought in a selection of books and we put our names on the books we would like to read first.

 Here are the books we could choose from:

        

  

 

Each group meets every one or two weeks and decides how many pages or chapters they will read before the next Reading Circle Meeting.

 While the group is reading their book, they keep an eye out for interesting or tricky or difficult or unknown words. These words are written down and their meanings are found.

 When we have finished reading the chapters we write a brief summary, and make up 2 or 3 open-ended questions to discuss at the Reading Circle Meeting.

 

Here are some interesting questions we discussed today:

 The “Dealing With Dragons” group discussed the question -

 

“What personality do you think dragons have?”

 

This is what they thought

 

What do you think?

 

The “Boy Overboard” group discussed -

“Why is a new type of landmine not a good invention?”

 This is what they thought:

What do you think?

 

Very Interesting ……

The CSIRO visited us again and we investigated the Human Body!

We tasted, looked, thought, poked, timed, ran, balanced, took apart, put together, moved, spat, sniffed, read, laughed, talked, hypothesised, tested, and had heaps of fun.

Here are some photos we took on the day.
