First swim of the summer!

We had our first swim of the summer, in the school pool today. We couldn't believe that it was 27 degrees at 9.30! That's all thanks to the new pool cover. Thanks Mr Western for getting the pool up and running for us- we really appreciate it.

Try Chelsea's Banana Survey!

Try Luke's Skylander Quiz!

You will only be able to see the children's quizzes if your child logs in to their gmail account. This is so that only people using a Witherlea School gmail account can fill in the survey. The reason for this is that the children can see the responses to their quiz in their Google Drive and I want to ensure that all answers are appropriate. All responses are linked to a Witherlea School gmail account.

Teamwork!

We've been spending a lot of time with Room 15 this week, doing a whole range of physical and mental teamwork activities. Here are photos from the "chair challenge" we did this afternoon! the winning team felt that what they did well was to listen to each other, not argue, watch each other carefully and not try to place the chairs too far apart!

look at our beans!

Room 18 have done a great job taking care of their bean plants. Now it's time to take them home and plant them in the garden and, hopefully, in a month or so, they might even grow some tasty beans to eat!

Book Trailers

Today the children learnt how to make an imovie. Their task was to work in pairs to create a book trailer, that would make people want to read the book, without giving too much of the story away. The rules were that it had to include pictures, text slides, music, sound effects and at least one voice recording, so there were a lot of new skills that had to be mastered! Here are the fab results!

Brilliant Biking!

Wow what a fantastic day we had with the Ride On instructors! As one of the children said, "That was SO worth $5!" We spent the whole morning working on a variety of skills, and then put all these skills together in the afternoon to complete the Ride On bike course. As always, the children were polite and respectful to the adults, listening carefully and putting 100% effort in.

Morning: practising using both brakes, turning, control with one hand, signalling, using gears, keeping a straight line, looking behind















In the afternoon the children had the chance to put all these skills to the test in a really fun and challenging bike course.
