Safety first!

Room 5 are very lucky to have been given a set of safety bag covers. They are bright yellow so when it is foggy the cars can see you when they drive past. Any one of us that walks or bikes  to school, or waits by the road for the bus, can have one of these to help keep them safe.

Korowai

Here is the korowai that Room 5 made.
It is so bright and colourful! Room 5 put lots of effort into making this.
It tell us our school values, manaakitanga, the importance of respect, and all about the wonderful individuals that we have in this class!

Vincent Tournament

On Saturday many of the Room 5 children were playing in the Vincent Tournament in Alexandra. Some Year 4s were playing netball, and Year 3s and 4s were involved in two different rugby teams. The weather was kind, and Alexandra turned on a perfect day. Everyone had a great day, and it was a brilliant start to the winter sport season.
Well done the Under 8 rugby team, who won their division undefeated! Fantastic effort.

St Johns at ANZAC day

On the 25th of April. St Johns marched proudly for the ANZAC Day parade. We were all dressed up in our uniforms. We marched from St Johns to the war memorial outside the library, where everyone met up. We listened to some speeches and music from the Roxburgh brass band. We had to stand quietly and still. ANZAC Day is a chance to remember all the people who fought and died for us.

St John's Penguins: Tea, Shahni, Ben, Myah and Grace.

The Amazing El Grego!

El Grego with Sarzu

 On Thursday 26 April, we went to the school library to watch the amazing El Grego. He did wonderful magic tricks, along with teaching us what to do if you are bullied. We met some of his bird friends - the macaw in the photo is called Sarzu. El Grego told us a story about her, that she copies things that he says. The best magic trick was when he made 3 birds into one!!

                 

The kids having fun

Everyone was amazed!

Bath bombs

We made bath bombs and gave them to the Japanese students before they went home to Japan. Here are some of the Room 5 students presenting their bath bombs to the Japanese students. We made sure to tell them that they were not for eating!!!
