Zebong - Author Visit

Today we had a storyteller, called Zebong, come to school. He brought a quilt with him and told us some cool stories related to the different patches on the quilt.

He told us a story of a warrior and how he created a new village. This King had two daughters, one evil and one ugly but bright. The ugly daughter met Sir Stabalot and he was going to kiss her when the evil sister saw it and decided to tell her father, the King. It needed with the tiger eating the evil sister and Sir Stabalot moving to Fiji. Mrs Mills was the evil sister, Miss Ashurst was the ugly but bright sister and Toby, Sir Stabalot.


He told us another story about when his father moved and lived in a haunted house on Twilight Road. With the rotting windows, creaking floorboards and the sinking house in the mud behind. The wild winds made the windows creak and swing in the wind. Being courageous his father had to try and deal with the window so that the zoo animals and prisoners could not get in. Of course there was one escapee, a monkey in the cupboard eating bananas - got ya, skin ya and now I'm gonna eat ya!

Our third story was about his grandma, tigers and his grandmas best friend. Ms Odds was his naughty grandma. 



Grandma was naughty when her friend took her to the zoo and found the cage to the Tigers had been left unlocked. She let tigers out of the zoo. They chased her friend up a tree. Grandma climbed the power pole and got electrocuted.

Science this term

We have been working with Mr Din on how forces affect planes. We have had one lesson on helicopters and learnt how drift & drag force affects it along with lift and gravity forces. This week we made parachutes and dropped them off the balcony with eggs in the baskets. We had no breakages! Miss Thomas also dropped a wine glass that was in one of the baskets and that did not break either! This showed us the forces that impact on the way the parachutes fall.

Here are some photos of us and our parachutes and funny looking planes.

Planting at Camp Sladdin

Today we went planting at Camp Sladdin. We planted heaps of trees and had lots of fun getting our hands dirty and muddy!


Pic from Miss Harvey

Miss Harvey was our student teacher in weeks 1 to 5 this term. We had lots of fun playing new games and learning how to write recipes. She sent us the selfie we took on her last day.

Thank you for teaching us Miss Harvey. We all miss you.
