Shooting Star!

Kirsha created this eye catching painting on Friday afternoon.  The Super Six kids think she is very Art Smart!

Creating Our Own Universe

On friday afternoon a group of us created our own universe using string, blu-tack and glow in the dark stars.  We are not sure if our blu-tack will work.  Mrs Hayman was so impressed with our team work.  There was not a single argument.  Our team shared, cooperated and problem solved together perfectly.  We earned a marble in the jar for our class!

Our Star the Sun vs Other Stars

We brainstormed our ideas about Our Star the Sun vs other stars.  We used the sports field to recreate parts of our solar system.  We talked about how things that are far, far away look smaller.  We used soccer balls to model this.  We hope you enjoy reading our brainstorm.

Respect at Home

We are focusing on Respect over the next three weeks.  Respect is one of our school values.  We brainstormed our ideas and discovered that we could group them in 4 ways.  The first is Respect at Home.  Here are some of our ideas...

Respect in the Classroom

In Super Six we focus on being Self Smart - managing ourselves without being told and being thoughtful of others.  A respectful classroom is a fun and happy place to be.  Here are some of our other ideas...

Respect in the Playground

We think playing in the playground is great fun except when people forget to think of others and show respect.  Listening to the teachers and the senior helpers shows respect.  Here are some of our other ideas...

Respect in Nature

Here are some of our ideas.  We also talked about respecting our fresh water and oceans.  The children were very upset about the way sharks are treated!   We need to care for our fresh water ways and for our air.  

Swim for Life

We had a fantastic time participating in Swim for Life lessons last term.  We focused on buoyancy and life jacket drills.  We learnt that our life jacket needs to fit correctly and that it is much easier to put on before you hit the water.  We tried it!  It is very hard to put on when you are trying to stay afloat!  So mums and dads make sure life jackets are on when in boats and not stashed somewhere close to hand.  We learned how to make a huddle to keep warm and how to hold onto each other to keep everyone together.  Enjoy looking at our photos.
