The Munch Bunch

Poloma, Sam & Ari - Monday volunteers

We have a new group of senior students at our school who are the Munch Bunch. They are volunteering one lunch time per week to help cut up fruit from the children's lunch boxes. The staff had noticed that some fruit was being wasted or taken home. Now we have our new helpers, we have noticed a lot more fruit at school and the children are very enthusiastic to have their fruit prepared by the older children.

Reading in Room 8

Today Soraya read a story to the class all by herself. We were all very impressed because she has only been at school 6 weeks now. Soraya has been working really hard to learn her alphabet and words. Well done!

Our new topic - Bears

We are learning about bears. Some bears live in the forest. Bears like to eat honey, fish, fruit and other things. We are learning about sun bears. Panda bears eat bamboo. Polar bears live in the snow. I have a bear in my room, he is called Bozo and he is a teddy bear.

Giraffes Can't Dance Show

On Thursday the Java dancers came to Picton School to do the Giraffes Can't Dance Show. It was sort of funny because they kept pulling each other's tails. The lion did the tango, the cricket did tap dancing, the monkey did hip hop, the rhino did rock and roll and the giraffe did contempoary dance. I thought it was funny. Waikawa Bay and St Joseph schools came too.

Southern Jam Jazz Concert

Last Tuesday the Jazz concert came to the Picton School hall. They played us some songs and did some singing. A man got his balloon blown up by a saxaphone, it was very funny. Then he played the the balloon. The people were from some different colleges. It was really noisy.

Picton School Olympics Opening Ceremony

Last Friday we went to the hall for an Olympics Opening Ceremony. We were in different country groups: China, Australia, USA, Germany, France and Russia. Mr McCosh was Greece, and he went first because Greece always goes first in the parade. Then we had a parade. Room 3 showed us their country posters and told us some facts.
