Bonjour! and Gidday!

A great big AllStar and Australian welcome

to our special Scottish visitor -

Nounours!

We can’t wait to show Nounours all about our Australian heritage and the special things about our city of Sydney.

We are looking forward to Nounours learning about Australia and the AllStars too

Nounours has already met Sandy our Scottish otter, as well as Koko Koala and Kanga & Roo. Lots of fun is on our way!

Sandy Celebrates

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

Thank You to “You”

To all of our blogging friends ..

A heartfelt and HUGE thank you to “you” - everyone who reads, enjoys and comments on our blog.

We have learnt so much this year, and it is because of “you”. We have blogged because of “you”, we have reflected because of “you” we have shared the events, the fun, the learning, the laughs, the thinking, the working and the people who work in and visit our class.

“You” have made a wonderful difference to how we learn in our room.

“You” have helped us think about our learning, how we do things, why we do things, and how we can learn and work even better and harder.

“You” have shared so much with us - thank you for your comments, your thoughts, your questions, your ideas, your blogs and most importantly your friendship.

We are on holidays now so our blog may be a little idle - but we will be back again in February.

Until then - keep on blogging

A Quiet Time :(

Due to sickness and problems with our school server, the AllStars have been pretty quiet on-line over the last few weeks.

However, things are back looking “up” and we are aiming to get some posts happening here in these last three weeks before the end of our school year - and some well deserved Summer holidays!

Voices of the World

Come and have a look at the fantastic Voices of the World site.

This is where we join with over 40 other classes to share our voices and artwork in fun ways.

We are in the middle of our November task, but have a look at what we got up to in September and October!

Camp Photos

Here they are - our first taste of this year’s camp.

Looks like fun …………

Voices of the World

We are part of a project called “Voices of the World”.

A world wide project to unite children together using their voices.

Voices of the World Wiki

click on the words above to see all of the Vokis from around the world!

Our first task was to make a Voki and record ourselves saying a message. This is what we came up with:

Get a Voki now!

Random Meme Fever!

A random meme has been “floating” around the blogosphere of late and many AllStars have been tagged by friends from other schools and countries. We have discussed the positives and negatives of these memes and have tried to remember to keep safe (no personal details). School based tagging should try to keep on school topics too.

Today we thought we would answer as a class, so we thought of 8 topics we would answer. Then we turned the reults into percentages (maths lesson!!!!!! :lol: ) and here is what we came up with:

43% of AllStars liked MeatLovers pizza.
57% of AllStars don’t like Maths.
29% of AllStars chose science as their favourite subject.
43% of AllStars have finished the Premier’s Reading Challenge.
43% of AllStars liked Athletics for sport.
100% of AllStars love blogging! :mrgreen:
100% of AllStars like playing games (PS2, DSLites, Computer etc)
90% of AllStars like making digital games.

We won’t tag classes - but if you want to join in please do so and leave a comment so we can read your class’ favourites

Thanks ….. and have a great holiday! :)

It’s All Happening ……

Sparks are flying in the computer room here at school - we are all working so hard on our “Australian Stories” for the Australia Topic wiki we are working on with Carronshore School.

Some people are preparing PowerPoints, others are writing newspaper articles, Celia is working on a video production/interview, and Sharon has started a trend in Toondoo comics!!!!

The deadline for completion is this Friday - so “get cracking” AllStars (you will have to look that slang up on the wiki :) ) don’t let your class or your country down!!!
