On Tuesday the 4th of December we had a Christmas Concert. It started at 6:30 but we had to  there by 6:00. All the classes in our school performed an item. The first item was Ms Manna’s class. They sung a Christmas song that they made up. It was based on the 12 days of Christmas song. The second item was Mrs Gibson’s class. They sung a song called ‘ On Christmas Day’. I loved that song. Mrs Shannon’s class sung a song called ‘The Peppermint Stick’. After a couple more items it was our turn. We sung a song called ‘Keepers Of The Land’. We had to dress up as early settlers and Aboriginals. It was great fun! After our class it was Mr Berry’s. They danced to a song called ’I Like To Move it Move it”. After that Mr Mac’s class sung a Jersey Boy’s song called ‘Sherry’. Lastly to finish of the night Pam’s class did Dance through the ages. It started off with the waltz and it ended with Gangnam Style. That was the end!

It was a great night and we both really enjoyed it!

Every year our school (year R-5) go swimming and because this year we’re yr 5′s it was our last year of swimming. Usually we go to Marion swimming centre this year we went to SAAC(SA Aquatic Centre). On Friday for the last half an hour we had free time. Our group started of at the tyres/rings. Then we swapped with other groups. There were tyres/rings, mats, noodles, sinking toys and we played dodge ball with spikey balls. The three highest groups were allowed to go in the deep pools and we went in the 3 metre pool and the 5 metre pool. We all enjoyed it alot!!. We also liked diving into the pool. While we were there we were able to listen to the Lifesaving World Championships. There were people from Hong Kong, Russia, Sweden, Malaysia and the Philippines.We all would like to thank everyone who helped organised it all. by Hayley

On Thursday Jasper, Troy, Angus M, and I made stain glass biscuits with Troys mum. It was messy and sticky because we had to play around with it in are hands. We could not pour all of the milk in at the same time because it would go soggy. We had all sorts of cookie cutters like stars, love hearts and a flower“. Than we got smaller cookie cutters and cut the middle out and we had to put boiled lollies in the middle. Some of them ended up to be really big. Troy made the biggest it was about two cm high. They all ended to be cooked well, even the big ones. By Jake

On Wednesday  week 7  2012 Angus U, Billy, Catie and Jacob made a stained glass window Christmas tree. We started with a Christmas tree template and we had to cut and stick different coloured pieces of cellophane. We had blue, purple, green, red and yellow. We decided to make the Christmas tree multi coloured, the baubles purple and yellow, the pot red and the star yellow.         By Catie, Billy, Angus U and Jacob

This term (term 4) we had to do a project. We had a set time to make something that we had never made before. Some people chose to make models and some people chose to sew. I chose to make a storage box.

I really liked doing this. It was really fun but really challenging. I also really like seeing what other people have made. I can’t wait  for next year’s project but it will be harder because you have to write down everything that you do in a big book. That would get very frustrating.

Here are some photos:
