At the beginning of the year I asked our Student Representative Council if there were particular things they would like to focus on. The Sports Shed was one thing which came up. Over the year the SRC have been observing equipment use and availability to see if the sports equipment available for use at recess and lunch times suits what people want to play with. They have also been grappling with how to keep the gear neat, tidy and easy to access.
At last week’s Assembly Lani and Sam volunteered to do a short presentation on how we expect our sports equipment to be stored and looked after.
Well done to the SRC for continuing to find ways to improve our school.
Due to safety concerns, we request that vehicles are NOT left unattended in the bus area/drop zone. If you need to come up to the school, please park your car in the designated parking areas.
Congratulations to Alice and Lillie who last Sunday received trophies for their participation in the Southern Storm under 12 girls football team.
The season consisted of 13 games, of which they won 7.
When asked what her favourite thing was about playing football, Alice said “Making new friends and playing the game!”
“I can't wait for next season!” says Lillie.
As part of our Inquiry into what living things need we have been exploring plants.
Earlier this year we were gifted two large raised beds, and this term a very kind family helped fill them full of good potting soil, all ready to plant.
During numeracy time we looked at the size plants would grow to, and explored what kind and how many plants we could fit in the spaces using physical materials to represent different plants. We then had a vote and recorded the data as a graph to determine the most popular plants from our shortlist.
Three weeks ago we planted seedlings of pansies, snap dragons, poppies, allysum and stock in the gardens. Indoors we planted seeds of nasturtiums, snow peas and sweet peas. We watched them grow roots and shoots, it was wonderful to see them take off!
This week we were able to plant our seedlings in the gardens, at the back and sides so they can grow on the trellis and over the edges. We can't wait to see them bloom and eat some crunchy snow peas!
