We will begin athletics at 11am today.

Global Children's Challenge

How are the steps going Room 5?  I hope you are keeping a tally of each day. We are dropping down the list but hopefully we can catch up when we back with your all your steps.
Ellie has been send me her totals by email and over the last 4 days she has done 50, 082. Perhaps we should have prize for the most steps over the holidays!

My total is nowhere near as impressive as Ellie's, I think I have been sitting doing too much school work!! Plus I keep forgetting to put mine on in the morning when I take my dog for a walk. Bess doesn't mind because it means she gets another walk later in the day! Can you see she is smiling!

Send me a photo of you getting active over the holidays so I can post it on the blog.

Making Connections

At the end of this term we tried to write interesting stories about people who are connected to our lives. Many of the class chose to write about their Grandparents.  

Here are two stories from Zarah and Claudia

Greek Fashion

Dressing up on Greek Day was great fun. Here Fran and Heather found out a lot more about the traditional dress for Greek women.

The Hare and the Frog

Here is Zarah and Ineka's fable about the Hare and the Frogs.

Greek Houses

Libby and Zoe found out about Greek Houses for their inquiry.
