Reciprocal Reading

In the past few weeks we have been working on Reciprocal Reading with Mrs Brunton.  Our focus has been to improve our skills in the areas of summarising, predicting and clarifying.  One article that we read was particularly interesting about Afghanistan refugees.  There was a huge amount of new vocabulary that we discussed and some really inetresting facts to learn also.  Ask us about it at home and we will enlighten you!!

Room 7 Disco stars!!!

A great night out was had by the room 7 children who attended last Friday's disco.  There were some cool moves and awesome outfits.  Lots of fun was had by all.

Flying Fox

One of the activities we did at Sonshine Ranch was called the Flying Fox. We staggered up the hill to the starting platform with the heavy pulley in our hands. Hearts thumped as the parent on the platform hooked us on to the carabiner. ”Run and leap off the platform like superman flying after his enemy!” the parent shouted. We leapt off the platform and soared down the great big valley like a hawk.

Pikelet Heaven

On Thursday, we made pikelets. It was pikelet heaven! First we had to mix the ingredients together. The parents turned the stove on and then it was all up to us. We melted the butter, put the mixture in the pan and of course, ate the decadently delicious pikelets we made!
