From Monday to Friday it was gymnastics week. On Wednesday we made up a routine with two people in a group. Today we showed them in front of room 11 and Mrs Shaw picked about 4 groups from our class to show in front of the whole school. They were Kasey and Jasmine who is from Rm12, Hannah and Anelies, Jimikah and Carrie and Jaime doing it by her self. Here are some of Rm 11 doing gymnastics.

Thoughts on AG Day.

It was astonishing and great to get to know new people. Our family cat came.Next year I will do better at the constuctions as I was a bit confused this year. Joshua Ridley.

Making flax folwers was fun and I got to make a fish out of flax.
Brock.

Next year I plan to make my creations faster as I only did two things. Jaime.

It was a great but I didn't like it when my kid wouldn't jump. Lily.

The day before was hectic, flowers everywhere, wild and wacky flower arrangements. Kayne.

Next year I hope I won't be a runner. Hannah.

It was a disaster, my cat ran away faster than the eye can see. Carrie.

It was fun fiddling with my arty, crafty stuff. Ari.

I really enjoyed looking at the animals. Next year I might bring my pet. Matthew .A.

I enjoyed watching the dogs on the obstacle course. Chris .W.

 

My invention is a recycling container with four different compartments such as tins, paper, glass and plastic. My invention is designed to make the recycling mans job alot easier. All he has to do is open a compartment flap on the bottem of that compartment and every thing inside that compartment will fall out. I thought about this idea because I always see the recycling man strugling to sort out all the bottles and stuff like that so I thought that this idea would help him, and make his job easier.
