Tech Challenge



On Wednesday Room 5 were meant to go to Anderson Park but unfortunately it started to rain. so instead we decided to do a tech challenge. Our aim was to shoot a ping pong ball over a chair and only 3 out of 6 teams passed. The next challenge was to shoot it over a desk with a chair on it. All 3 made it over. The next challenge was to get it over a piece of wire on the roof. Only one team made it over the wire and they were Jayden, Rueben, Jade, Joel, and Lilli. They all got a very special prize….A CHOCHOLATE FISH!!

Fire Box!



The Fire Box was an Experience for 12 students out of our whole school and 2 people out of our class got chosen . We had to firstly put on all the fire gear and we also put on a gas mask and then put a plastic bag over it so that we could practise not being able to see very clear . Then when we had our covered masks on then we had to find a dummy called Elvis on a chair. We all had partners to go with and one of us had to tell us where to go. After interval we went into the back of the truck that had smoke in the back. We went in there with our partner that we had for our first session and then we took turns going in the truck with our partners then at the end we got to go in by ourselves.
We enjoyed that day.

Welcome Back!

Hey High Fivers!

Welcome back to term 3, and what a great start back it has been! Lots on this term, like; cross country, a new inquiry, poetry, a trip to Anderson Park, along with all the usual activities. Looking forward to our 'Fun Day', hopefully sooner rather than later but we will just have to wait and see won't we. :)
Enjoy the term,
