Athletics Sports Day at the Sports Park

All of HNP had our athletics sports at the Sports Park in Percival Road last Tuesday. It was so hot that day. We wore our house colours and looked like a rainbow as we travelled by bus to the park. The juniors arrived a bit later and did their events in the middle of the track area. Year 3, 4,  5 and 6 competed in high jump, long jump, discus, shot put, 100m, 200m and we had a house relay. It was a great day and we were all tired out on the bus trip back to school.

Persuasive advertising

Mrs Dixon has just finished two weeks on language that persuades people to buy things. Her challenge to Room 5 was for the children to convince her which lolly was the best - zombie chews, mentos or candy canes. Here are their advertisements. After the best ones were selected, Mrs Dixon gave out lollies to everyone because it was her last day with us! We gave her flowers and chocolate to say thank you for fifteen fabulous weeks of writing.

Year 3s on Camp

It was SOOOO exciting and a bit scary at the same time! Room 8 and all the Year 3s from our class went back to school at 4pm on Monday 14th September. We had a sleepover at the Aquarium with the theme of PIRATES! We had a lesson about the Rocky Shore run by Carol from the Aquarium, pirate hat making and walking the plank, Burger Fuel burgers and chips for dinner, a scavenger hunt for cryptic pirate clues and we finished the day with a  night tour of the aquarium We slept right by the sharks!!

The next day we had breakfast, packed up our beds, swam at Ocean Spa for a few hours, had delicious morning tea by the playground and visited the Rocky Shore for an amazing two hours of lifting rocks and noticing the wonderful sea life in our back yard. We had beautiful weather and needed to break out the sunscreen! Lunch was fish and chips or hot dog and chips and yummy baking and apples from our parents. We played on the playground until 2 pm and headed back to school, tired but very happy. We had managed to complete Year 3 Camp our very first camp at HNP!!
