FISHING TRIP!

Last Thursday we were fortunate enough to go on a fishing excursion.

We began our excursion by taking the bus down to our local beach, which is about a 20 minute bus ride.
When we arrived we had two men introduce themselves and talk to us about sun safety and fishing safety.

We then spent a couple of hours fishing. Some of us caught some fish and one of us even caught an octopus. That was very exciting! Some of us only managed to catch seaweed, but we all had such a fun time having a go!

At the end of the clinic we had a quiz about the safety messages from earlier in the morning and some of us won some cool prizes.

Here are some photos of us enjoying our day. We would love to go again next year!

A busy start to Term 2

In Maths last week were busy learning about different types of lines and angles. We were also able to use our protractors to measure different angles.


Did you know....
- Right angles are 90 degrees (Zac)
- An angle between 0 degrees and 90 degrees is called an acute angle (Conor)
- An angle between 90 degrees and 180 degrees is called an obtuse angle (Christine)
- A straight angle is exactly 180 degrees (Jock)
- A reflex angle is between 180 degrees and 360 degrees (Chelsey)
- There are 360 degrees in a circle, which is called a revolution (Alisha)

Matilda

Hello from the Year 6 classroom,

We have been reading our class book 'Matilda'.
Here are some of our thoughts....

Chelsey - I think it is really interesting and makes me want to hear more.

Tesshara - It makes me want to be able to do what she can do.

Stanley - I like all the characters in the story. I really like Mr Wormwood
because he is cheeky and funny to hear about.

Alisha - It is an intriguing story and makes me want to hear more.

Josh - It is interesting to read because the characters are cool. Mr Wormwood is my favourite because he is funny and greedy.

Christine - When you first hear a bit of the story you don't want to stop reading. Every time Miss A puts the book down the whole class says 'aaaaw'.  

Emma - I think Matilda is very clever and exciting to read about.

Zac - It is good, interesting and fun to see Matilda pull pranks on her Dad.

Amber-Rose - I liked it when Matilda bleached Mr Wormwood's hair!
