  Happy Christmas Everyone!

I hope that the jolly fat man in the red suit comes down your chimney (or in through the door if you don’t have a chimney) tonight leaving something special for you.

An incredibly talented artist named Julian Beever sure knows how to use chalk on a footpath! Follow the hyperlink to see more of his amazing art, all drawn on flat everyday concrete and stone surfaces. 

 Mind boggling, isn’t it?

 I  wish the pics would

go where I

want.

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.

The 2007 school year is over and we’ve said goodbye to our grade 6 students. Most of our grade 5 students have moved into other grades but a few are staying on to lead our new class into the 2008 school year, so a special hello to Jacob, Robert, Mariah, Kim and Nikita. In 2008 we will be learning a whole lot more about blogs and even webpages, so stay tuned! Please post any suggestions or links to excellent blogs and websites in a comment - we’d love some inspiration.

Guys, 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.

See the wonderful Graduation Quilt below:

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.

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.

 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.

Wrestling marshmallows is proving to be the surprise winner in our blog poll. Who’d've thought it? (There’s a double contraction for you, Miss R).

Now that we’ve shown just what a serious sport-loving nation we are, it’s time for a new poll. Grade 5/6C - any suggestions as to what we could ask next? Post your suggestions as a comment.
