quilt-pics-2007-for-blog.jpgGuys, I was so proud of you all at Graduation! The evening was wonderful, made all the better because it was run by you, for you. Fantastic efforts:

Fern - a brilliant speech; humorous, sentimental and thoughtful all at once. You’ve set a high standard for others to live up to.

Zac, Damien, Brayden and Alex - you were the backbone of a wonderful program and ticket team. The results were very professional looking and the organisation and help you gave to get the task done was invaluable.  A successful mission, boys.

Becky - it was so great to see you up the front in the dance, taking part and smiling! Keep it up next year; I’ll be listening  for news about you from high school.

Imogen - how brave are you? Solo music to an audience of over 400 people. Well done and make sure you hold on to that “can do” attitude.

Nick - you win the firm handshake award - or would if there was one! Your folks must have been so proud of the confident way you walked across the stage to receive your certificate.

Hannah - another speaker of a high calibre. You even managed to smile and speak clearly at the same time. Great job.

Matt - you organised yourself well in your Sovereign Hill speech and acted confident.I don’t know if you actually felt that way, but if you were nervous you hid it well.

Great work kids. Makes me wish I’d kept you down so I could have you all again next year! :) Grade fivers - your classmates and grade six students from other grades have set a high benchmark for you to aspire to next year.

Flash Movies

For these animations, I used a program called MACROMEDIA FLASH MX 2004. To get the plane I used MACROMEDIA FLASH FIREWORKS. Now, the process I used to make the animation is very hard to explain, so I won’t annoy you by telling every thing I did. If you have any problems, ask your question in a comment and I’ll get back to you. 

Jump Rope for Heart

Posted on October 31st, 2007 in * Health and Phys Ed, Damien, Kim by Mrs C  Tagged

jump-rope-photo.jpgOn Friday the 10th of August, we had Jump Rope for Heart Jump Off. The whole school went and asked people for donations. We raised over $4000! The money we raised went to the Heart Foundation for research to help people with heart disease.

On the Jump Off day, the school went out on the basketball court and jumped our little hearts out! We all had a great day, and we got our hearts moving for the Heart Foundation!

Australian History

Posted on October 13th, 2007 in * SOSE (Social Studies), Damien by Mrs C

[slideshare id=133298&doc=the-eureka-stockade2646&w=425]

We studied Australian History in term 2. This is one student’s work on their own choice of topic. The show had animations when it was made on PowerPoint, but Mrs C can’t work out how to get them going on the Blog.
