Finale

This blog is now finished and no new posts will be added (well, there probably won’t be any more added - never say never).

The new 2008 5/6C class blog can be found at http://56c2008.edublogs.org.

We’ll be keeping this 2007 blog open too, because we learned a lot from making it and it will be a good reference to see how far we’ve come later on.

Comments posted to this site will still be read, so feel free to continue to add your ideas and questions!

Here is a way to keep your brain ticking over:

Here is a number puzzle to keep you puzzling over the holidays.  How many can you solve? Here’s a clue: 1) 26 = L of the A is 26 Letters of the Alphabet. Be warned that this quiz apparently comes from Mensa, an organisation for highly intelligent people, so it will be tricky!

Books

Posted on December 22nd, 2007 in * General stuff by Mrs C  Tagged , ,

On our books page (see the link in the title bar or click here) we have reviewed the books Mrs C has read to us this year. Some of them we read because they were related to the Integrated Studies units we were working on, but others we read because one of us heard it was good.

Mrs C would like some suggestions from other grades of books they think we should read, especially books by Australian authors.

Happy Holidays (nearly!)

It’s not long now until the end of the school year. Half of our class will be moving on to high school, and the other half will be moving on to grade 6 next year, so there are many exciting, fun and sometimes scary times ahead.

 Before that, though, we have the Summer holidays. Five whole weeks without a single day of school. So, what are your plans? Are you going anywhere? Have you set yourself any goals? How will you prepare for next year?

 Post your answers as a comment.

Graduation time is approaching

Posted on December 8th, 2007 in * Fun stuff, * General stuff, * Students by Mrs C  Tagged , , ,

Glitter Words

Our grade six students are preparing for their Graduation to be held at the local theatre on December 18. All students are making a PowerPoint slide which will be projected onto “the big screen” behind them as they are individually presented with their group photo and certificate. The graduates are also preparing items to share highlights of our year, such as visits to DECA and Sovereign Hill, as well as items like poetry recital.

Cap and Diploma The 2007 Graduates’ Quilt will be unveiled on Graduation night. Each student made a square that represented them and included their name. Miss W volunteered to take on the task of putting the whole thing together - with 75 students graduating, that’s no mean feat! Well done Miss W - you’re a star and we appreciate your work.

 We’ll post a photo of the quilt after Graduation Night.

Jacob is back!

Posted on October 31st, 2007 in * General stuff by Mrs C

On the first day we missed our plane! Luckily, we caught the next one and arrived in Cairns the next day. After a rest on the first day, we went to Kuranda on the train and we took the sky rail back. http://www.cairnsattractions.com/a_skyrail.html

Some of the other highlights of the trip were:

  • parasailing over the ocean from the back of a boat
  • jetskiing
  • trip to Cape Tribulation on a weird bus - like a four wheel drive but a bus
  • we didn’t miss our plane back!

I sent a postcard back to my grade but I beat it back by one whole day! Here it is:

I loved the trip and want to go again next week. But I don’t think Mum will let me.

Jacob is away…

Our classmate Jacob is away on holidays. We are looking forward to hearing about his trip when he returns. He can write about it for our blog!

Gymnastics

Posted on October 22nd, 2007 in * General stuff, * Health and Phys Ed, Matt by Mrs C  Tagged

56c-016.jpgThis is Matt, just  before he landed on his feet at gymnastics.

 We are doing a three week gym course with Mr H at the Youth Club Hall. We have to walk there first - that’s our warm up!

Some of the activities we did in the first week were:

  • parallel bars
  • forward rolls
  • vaulting
  • balance beam
  • floor exercise
  • trying not to land on our heads
  • commando course
  • forward flips on the springboard
  • leapfrog

We’ll add another post with this week’s activities later.

More cool art with words…
