Week 4

STRETCH
At the end of week 3, we had our first session of STRETCH.   The Year 5&6 group split up in to 4 groups to experience a wide range of activities.  They are:
Cooking - One group made lollyslice and the other group learned how to make 'chocolate surprise muffins'.   The surprise was gooey, melted caramel.
Sports - We played soccer.  The teams were evenly matched and we had really great goal keepers.  The final score was 2:2.  Next time we will be playing a different sport - it might be rugby, touch or netball.
Art - we are designing a stained glass window  and we also learned how to make music with our bodies.  We performed 'We will rock you' in front of our 'home' class.
Digital Design - we use Befunky to upgrade our camp photos.  Next time we will be taking photos of students in STRETCH then using Befunky to add detail to them.

ORIENTEERING
This was our ultimate test to see how fast, and accurate, we could complete the four school maps.  We can't wait to see who Mrs Croll will be choosing to represent our class in the inter-school orienteering tournament.

STU DUVAL
The amazing Stu Duval visited our school on Wednesday.  We were entertained with his story called Flax Cross.    It was about a person (Red McCallistar) who was trying to get out of jail, even though he was innocent.  He got out of jail by going on a seven day voyage, from Australia to New Zealand, as a potato boy, on a boat called Moana.   When he went looking for Sarah, Scree's niece (Scree's the evil guy in the story), he found a different Sarah who was 99 years old and was married to seven husbands!  There's a lot more to this story, but we can't fit in all in here.  Stu is a is a humorous story-teller who constantly made us laugh with his many character voices and fabulous illustration, which he drew while he was narrating the story.
