SADD Mufti

Well done those students who took the opportunity to support our senior students raising awareness about drink driving. They dressed in rainbow colours with a gold coin donation and had a sausage sizzle at lunch.

Landscape paintings.

We have been busy adding the final details to our landscape paintings this week.
We chose a landscape photograph from the internet and then used a cardboard window to choose a small part of it. We stuck this onto our paper and have had to use colour mixing to match shades and tones. We have talked about foregrounds, backgrounds, texture and perspective.
Some of our artwork is going to the Artorama exhibition, the rest will be on display next, drop in and enjoy our Impressionist Gallery.

Science fair experiments.

Room13 have been doing science experiments. We used a planning sheet to tell us what to do. I did a big science experiment that had 3 experiments on it. I liked the magic balloon best.
 Kyle looked at paper plane designs. Uncle Grants went the longest distance.
Well done to everyone who entered science fair projects.
A huge thank you to the parents who helped us.

Welcome back to Term 3

I hope that you have all had an awesome break. With plenty of sunshine and some fine days up on the skifields I hope that everyone has had time for some well earned R&R.
This term is a very busy one with a science fair, a class production to finish and rehearse, class ski trips and snow club.
Our class ski trip is provisionally booked for week 3, Thursday 18th August. I will get a letter out to you as soon as it is passed on to me. As usual we rely on the fantastic support from our skiing parents to be able to make this not only a great social and team building day but also with heaps of runs to improve our skiing skills. So if you are able to come along for the day and help out with the skiing or support us at the lodge with putting on gear and clothes then please let me know.
