G.S.S Goes To The Netball Tournament

             G.S.S Goes To The      Netball Tournament.

On Thursday the 31^st of July, all those who go to Windmill park on Wednesday to play netball, went to the AMI netball stadium and participated in the netball tournament. My team, Year 6 Ruby, had a bye first and then we got into action. We lost the first game but then we won every other game we had. We lost a team member, which was Talia Jeffery because of a hand injury. We got another team member, Laura Mooney and she was just as good as Talia. Eleanor Clark’s team, Year 6 Green, won the first 3 games, lost the 4^th game and won the last 2 games. Chloe Simpson’s team, Year 5 Lime, won all their games and they won their section. Amy Petau-Ah Poe’s team, Year 5 Blue, won their 1^st game and lost the rest of their games. The coach for my team is Lynne Tofilau and our manager is Liz Trainor. Eleanor’s team coach is Aaron Clark and their manager is Elizabeth Molony. Chloe’s team coach is Fran Simpson and she is also their manager. Amy’s coach is Irene Petau and Emma Smoldon is their manager.

Big Foot Cycling

Bigfoot Cycling

By Amelia Kelly

On the 12^th and 13^th of June, we were really lucky to have Bigfoot Adventures come to our school and do a cycling program with us. It was a really good opportunity for people to refresh their skills, and even learn from scratch. It was really fun, and taught us all some really important skills that we didn’t know. We were taught how dangerous it can be why’ll you’re riding on the road, how fragile your brain is and how important it is to always wear a helmet properly. Everyone learnt something new, and was left smiling.  

Science Week 2014

Science Week 2014

This week, we did an experiment with milk, dish washing liquid and food colouring. What we did, was we put some milk into a bowl, added four different colours of food colouring, got a cotton wool bud that had been dipped in dish washing liquid and placed it into the middle of the bowl. The reaction was, that the food colouring was pushed to the sides of the bowl and started to mix together. We kept our cotton wool bud in the centre for a long time, and it created a flower like pattern. We found, that if you placed the cotton wool bud in different places in the bowl, than it creates spiral patterns. This is an excellent experiment that you can try out at home with just what’s inside your pantry.

Assembly part 2

We did some research on what life was like in Jesus time.  We put our information together and drew our own conclusions.  We presented these in a play at assembly.
