Friendship isn’t a big thing — it’s a million little things. 
Our little things are our little Year 3 and Year 4 buddies. Our time with them is so special.

On Monday, the first day of term, we were shocked to walk into the classroom and discover it a jumble of mismatched desks and shelves. After assembly, Mrs O’Meara informed us that we were going to re-organise the layout of the classroom ourselves. We split into groups and began drawing, sketching and discussing various layouts, all with their pros and cons. Eventually, each group made a good copy of their best design, and we moved the furniture around to try each one out. We then had a hands-up vote with our eyes closed. The winning plan was a square shape of desks, with an entrance/exit in each end. Most of the girls were happy with this design, but we will try it out for two weeks to make sure it is an easy and efficient layout. We have had lots of fun trying out different designs and layouts, but we’re sure Mrs O’Meara is happy we’ve finally made a decision!

Hi this is Harriet, Georgina and Ella here. This term one of our inquiry projects is to make a keepsake that we will hopefully be able to keep forever. We are pretending to make prototypes for Google and Facebook incase the Internet crashes. Everyone is very thrilled about this project and we all have very unique ideas.
Please feel free to have a look at our Animoto.

Harvest Festival

On Friday, we had Harvest Festival, which was our first celebration of the new year.

We all brought in some food to give to the City Mission.

The senior chamber choir gave a wonderful first performance, singing the song All Good Gifts.

Afterwards, Reverend John and a man from the city mission talked to us.  

Finally, a girl from each year group said her prayer.

School Fair

Our stupendous fair

Once again the Selwyn House fair was inconceivable, all the many aromas floated in the air. Vibrant colours sprinkled the fair. At this wonderful gathering rides were everywhere and all you could hear was the funky music booming away. As always the white elephant was a hit, crowds scrambled through the doors and found great treasures inside. All and all we had a jolly good fair we hope we see you next year.

Top Tips - Is there a digital divide amongst the elderly?

In Inquiry we have been looking at Digital Divide and the question, ‘Is there a divide amongst the elderly? If so can we narrow the technology age gap?” We created a questionaire and interviewed our Grandparents. This was great fun spending special time with them. We asked them if there was a digital area they needed help with. From these results each us took action and created a ‘Top Tips’ video for them to use at home. We had a huge variety of requests for assistance with either laptop use or cell phones. We really enjoyed learning alongside our Grandparents. Lots of laughs and many funny stories.
