We also visited Carronshore School – remember Mrs Vass and her class??

Well, Mrs Vass took us to visit with Primary 5LW and they had heaps of questions to ask about Australia.

Mrs Vass made a (very embarrassing) video for P5LW and you can see it on their blog here.

They also have some new pets to show you!

Why not leave some welcoming comments?

Here are some photos I took at Carronshore:

 A big “Thank you” to Carronshore P5LW students who came up with a few new ideas for us to try in PE.

After working hard for the last 14 weeks, we are coming to the end of the Premier’s Sporting Challenge and we needed some different activities to keep us going during PE sessions.

Over the last couple of sessions we have tried out our badminton skills and skipping skills.

Badminton is trickier than we thought it would be – the shuttlecock is very light and is caught by the wind to make things difficult J

We are trying to skip “double dutch” using two ropes. Some of us can do this but others are taking a little longer to get the hang of this skipping business!

A little while ago we were part of the Sydney Writer’s Festival and took part in a writer’s workshop and masterclass with Alison Lester. Alison wrote the book “Are We There Yet?” which we read when we were looking at Australian history.

Please click on this link (the photo of the book) which will take you to the site so you can watch the Masterclass (and see some AllStars in the audience :)   )

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!!!
