Postcard Recipient: George McHardy

Well done to George who is Room 12's postcard recipient for Week 8.
I am so proud of the big effort he has made this week. George has been very focused on his learning, and his attitude inside and outside of the classroom has been amazing.
George has also had excellent behaviour throughout the week, especially when working in his group.
He is our youngest class member, but he is a role model for everyone in Room 12. He demonstrates Parkvale Pride, particularly determination; he never gives up, and uses feedback to improve his next effort.
What an amazing week George!

Week 8 Pride Challenge

This week the students were given a technology task to complete.
They only had a limited amount of materials that they could use to build a bridge.
It had to cover a 30cm gap, and be strong enough to support the weight of the sellotape dispenser.
They had 5 sheets of newspaper, 1 metre of sellotape, 1 metre of string, 5 pieces of blutack, and 5 rubberbands.
There were some beautiful bridges, but only one was strong enough to hold the sellotape.
Well done to Caitlin, Jamie, Connor, and Keighan.

Amazing Izrael

Today the Room 12 students did a quick write. One of the tasks in the quick write was to write what they would do with one wish.
Izrael wrote "If I had one wish, I would wish for all of the sick people in hospitals to become healthy again."
What an amazing and self-less wish Izrael.

Campfire building

Students, with the help of an adult, had to build their own campfire.
They were very successful, with all fires eventually lighting that night.
What a great job the students did!

Survival Shelter

The students had to create a shelter out of items they found around camp. They were pretty good!!!!

Tent-pitching

The dad's on camp gave the kids a demonstration.........then the kids had to attempt it themselves in small groups.
