The first week back at school after the earthquake has been busy as usual. It's been great to be back with friends sharing stories and experiences from the previous week. The majority of us were so lucky to escape with out any major damage to our home or its contents. But our thoughts are very much with Bridget and Harlen and their respective families who suffered a great deal of loss and damage in the quake and its nasty aftershocks. We hope life can return to normal for you as soon as possible.
We have practiced our earthquake drills and although many aftershocks took place during school this week it made us realise just how well built and safe our new classroom is, as we barely felt most of them.
Cole bought along his pet guinea pigs, Mohawk and Elvis. We were very happy to meet them but we don't think they shared the feelings! Elvis tried desperately to escape the circle of students keen to meet him! Thanks Cole, it great to see you learning how to take care of pets.
On Wednesday of Week 10 we will be taking part in the School wide Commonwealth games day. As part of this topic we did some sports silhouette art. We chose a sport from the Delhi Olympics website and copied it 4 times in a grid. Then coloured it in with pastels using bright contrasting colours. We are representing England for the school games day so please find all the red and white gear you have at home and come along dressed to get be a 'POM' for the day.
