Paper Aeroplanes

We made paper aeroplanes

First we made them out of a light weight paper.

We tested them outside.

Hayden, Marlene, Stephan and Seamus made their planes go
4 to 6 metres!

We made our planes again out of black paper, light card and grey paper.

We tested them inside.

Lyric, Ashwin + Kassie made their planes go 4-5 metres!

Lyric’s went 5 metres.

We thought it might be the person throwing the plane which made the difference.

Lyric threw all three planes and he made them all go 5 metres!

He is an expert!

 Karan and Adeel lauch their planes.

Seamus and Lisa ready for take off...

Ready to take off?

Our Topic focus this term is Flight.
We are learning about how things fly for the first two weeks, then we are looking at Famous aviators and jobs that people do at the airport. We have a visit planned for May 25th.

Pirate day

 We dressed as pirates for Pirate day:

                                                                     

          

          We made treasure boxes 

               and pirate ships.         

Digging for treasure

We finished out study of pirates with a special Pirate day.

We had a treasure hunt, some of the treasure was very well hidden!

Now what do these fit?

This was followed by a pirate assembly.

We sang songs, read stories we had written and said a poem.

Room 13 and Room 15 did Pirate dances.

Cross Country

 Room 13 champions:
Congratulations to Hayden Murtic and Haylee-Jayde Montgomerie who each came second in the Year 2 Cross country race. Also well done to Marlene Paea who came third.

Here are 2 of our stories:

On Tuesday we did a cross country race.
My shoes were all  muddy, but I kept running.
I came 10th. I did good. I ran as fast as I could. 
I didn't stop running. I didn't walk, because I wanted to win.
Lyric
Good on you, Lyric!

On Tuesday morning we went to do the cross country race.

All of the Everglade children went to do it. 

I jumped on the stepping stones. The grass was slippery and muddy and I felt thirsty and tired. My heart was pumping fast.

It was hard. 

Some people were winning already and I was still running.

I finished. That was a lot of fun! 

I wish we can go again. 

Lisa 

Great trying, Lisa! 

Family Fun Day

On Saturday I went to the Family Fun Day with my sister and her friends.

When we got there we went on the tea cups ride. It made me dizzy.

After that I bought an ice cream because I was hot.

We watched people dunking the Principal.

At the end of the day we felt really tired.

I loved Family Fun Day.

Marlene

On Saturday morning I went with my Nana and my Papa to the Family Fun Day.

I went on the cups that move around. When I got out I couldn’t walk properly, but it was cool fun!

George

On Saturday I went with my Mum to Everglade’s Family Fun Day.

First I went on the giant slide!

I felt very hot when I was climbing up.

I went on the small slide and I was waving my legs.

The Family Fun Day was fun.

Ashwin

My friends told me all about the crazy Fun Day.

I didn’t go to it, but it looked exciting!

I wish I could have dunked the Principal, but I was at my brother’s place.

What a shame!
