Jump Rope for Heart

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!

marketplace2.JPGMarketplace is a pretend maths game in school where grade 5/6’s start a business to make pretend money. 

Students must draw a house of their own and place furniture in their house so they must go around to shops buying furniture, cars, phones and more with the money they earn from their business. There are $100, $50, $20, $10 and $5 dollar bills.More Marketplace

  

    

  

Marketplace goes for five weeks every Friday. It starts at 12 o’clock and finishes at 12:40. It is a great learning experience. Parents are welcome to come.

Jacob is back!

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.
