“On your marks”

“Get set”

“GO!”

We’ve started training for our cross country carnival that will be held in May.

We huff and puff through two laps of the oval, and we time ourselves so that we can get faster and faster!

Sandy is showing the most improvement so far – she has wiped two minutes off her times already!

Who knew that an otter could run that far, and that fast?????     :0 

 Well done everone else – keep trying and improving your times     ;) 

Extra! Extra! Read all about it!

How cool is this?

Last week we tried out a mind mapping tool called mind42.com to organise our thinking about Natural Disasters.

We had just been introduced to Natural Disasters through some wonderful hands on science activities from the CSIRO and we thought that we would like to investigate further.

This is what we came up with – have a look at the map above – you can move themap, make the text bigger/smaller, open and close the nodes. WOW

AllStars – leave a comment about the area you would like to investigate.  

Our little Scottish mascot, Sandy the Otter (from the students @ Sandaig Primary School, class P7S), has been with us in Australia for one year (officially it was on the 9th March). We felt that we should observe this special milestone and so we partied   :)     :)     :)

Everyone brought in their favourite soft toys so that Sandy would have lots of friends to help him celebrate, and people also bought along some lollies, cakes, drinks and food.

We added some music and had a fun afternoon!

PS - Sandy has her own blog too, pop over and have a look

This Monday is our school photo day!

Bring your smiles and “best” hair for a great shot of the AllStars

I will be back with you all and have had a haircut ready for the photo too

See you Monday!
