Survivor 2012 begins!

Every year Mrs Young plays the game "Survivor" with us during the last four weeks of the term.  It's an intensive game that involves teams of three playing against each other, recording a variety of information that builds into a story of survival.  This year we have 'crashed' into the highlands of Papua New Guinea and have to survive for seven days.

We spent the first five weeks of this term getting our Survivor Diaries ready but the game officially began today.  Here we are in our teams starting to problem-solve our way to success.

One of the things we had to record today was what we were wearing.  Every item on our bodies was written down or drawn because it could be useful throughout the rest of the game.  Jenna was crafty enough to stuff her pockets this morning with handy supplies.......

School Cross Country

Last Tuesday our school held its Cross Country event.  Our class gets right behind this by dressing up and having a blast!

Expression Art

Here are the final three pieces of art......

Facial Expressions Part 2

Here's the rest...........

Facial Expressions

Our very last Art piece for term three focussed on facial expressions.  We studied cartoon-like expressions from the internet and then replicated them on four figures.  We were able to choose to colour with pastel or paint or a combination of the two.

Our Cycling Teams

After six months of training, our two cycling teams are gearing up for the big event on Saturday 29 September.

Issie, Nikia, Kennedy, Maegan

Connor, Alex, Sam, Matt

Skipping

Part of our PE this term is skipping!  An exhausting activity that provided Mrs Young with a lot of entertainment.

Here are some photos from our last session where we practised all of the different skipping styles - individual, pairs and groups.  We finished off with the whole class attempting to link-skip!

Madness!!!
