Lit Quiz

Last week, on Thursday, the Opawa School Lit. Quiz teams took part in the Lit. Quiz Competition.
There were over 20 teams competing at the event and the two teams from our school came 8th and 14th - what a fantastic effort from everyone involved.
Room 11 had two members in the team.
Here they are with their certificates - Well done girls!!!

Week 4

Well, swimming is now over - it has been a full on, tiring couple of weeks, but I am sure the children have all learnt something new with regards to their swimming.
The last couple of days focussed on water safety - this involved getting used to a life jacket, kicking on your back in a life jacket and boat safety.

TERM 3

WELCOME BACK TO EVERYONE!
I hope everyone had a lovely relaxed holiday!!
A couple of notes for this term:

• Swimming starts on Monday 1st August.  Children will be swimming every day for the two week block of swimming lessons.
• Knowledge-a-thon - this will be taking place in Week 2 or 3, keep on practicing those questions!  Please remember to return the forms and bags - EVEN IF NO MONEY RAISED.  There may be a prize for first class with all forms returned - that will be us!!! 

Experiments

This week we looked at how to make 'snot'!!
We added a compound to water to see what would happen.  We had to pour the mixture from glass to glass to get it to thicken up - it did look like snot though!!!

Birthdays

We have had 3 birthdays in June.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY to:
Saracen, Enrico and Rhiannon.
We were very spoilt by Rhiannon's mum Sam, who brought in a delicious birthday cake for us to share - yummy!!  And very clever!
