             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.

Science Roadshow

Science Roadshow 2014

On Friday the 27th of June year five and six got to go to the science road show at Royal Oak Intermediate. When we got there we watched a show called “Are we living?” We really enjoyed the show. After the show we could walk around and look at the different science experiments on display. At some of the displays, if you understood how it worked you could get a little card and go up to one of the teachers and explain how it worked to them and if they thought you understood they would clip your card and you could enter the draw.  Looking at the displays was really fun and most people liked the display where you chucked a little ping pong ball into a large funnel and then you pushed a huge lever down and the force [the air] pushed the ball out of the funnel.  After looking around we watched another show about our body.  We had a lot of fun.

Pink Group Papyrus

In Pink group, we have been reading a book called Sandstorm. We did a presentation about hieroglyphics and papyrus paper. We drew hieroglyphics and Egyptian symbols.  We made the papyrus by boiling tea and dipping it in it when the tea cooled down. We left it overnight and drew our pictures, and then some of us painted it and some shaded it.

                                                    

 

 

 

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.
