We have had a busy ending to the term with mid year reports going home and parent teacher interviews. As the interviews started early each day I had the children both afternoons – on the second afternoon they could choose between doing the parachute, going to the library, or playing a new version of soccer which had a number of interesting adaptations including having to freeze on the whistle and getting to certain points on the field as quickly as possible. Not your normal game of soccer but everyone had fun and was puffing at the end of it!
Over the past week I have read 132 narrative stories – topics included the cleanest cow, ghost stories, stolen sheep, robbery’s, secret doors, time machines, castles, fishing, camping, dive bombing birds, duck shooting, haunted houses, and strange looking animals.
The winning entries for the Principal’s Writing Competition were
- Room One – Lucas
- Room Two – Connor
- Room Three - Carter
- Room Four – Amelie
- Room Five - Matthew
- Room Six – Matthew
My Overall favourite narrative was written by Geovanna in Room 3.
Congratulations to Geovanna and all the respective room winners – a job well done.
These children read their narratives out at Assembly on Friday and were presented with a certificate and prize for their efforts. What I enjoyed when I was reading the narratives was being able to see the progression of the writers as I read through each class level. I also thought the variety of subject matter was great.
Enjoy the holiday break. School starts again on Tuesday 1 August.
