Pigeon Impossible




We watched the short movie clip from 'The Literacy Shed' website, 'Pigeon Impossible'.  After lots of talking about what had happened and watching a clip from the news we wrote news reports.  We are recording these using the Educreations app on the ipad.  If you look in Our Blogs on the right hand side you can hear our reports.  Javae, Breanna, Shabrin, JP, Bella-Rose, Jared and Sarah's are published and the rest will be done next week.

7 Year Olds Fun Run



We had a lovely sunny afternoon for the Junior School Fun Run/Cross County.  The children all ran really hard.  Well done Javae for getting second place and Lauren for getting 4th.  The children all enjoyed their juicies afterwards.

8 Year Olds Fun Run




In between the rain we managed to hold some of the races for our Fun Run/Cross country.  Our 8 year olds (pictured above) managed to compete in their races.  Brooklyn did really well coming first!  A great effort by all of them running around the block.
