Japanese Day

On Friday the 19^th of October we had Japanese day and I was one of the captains for group 7. I was the captain of the passports and the number. My favourite activity was the cartoon drawing. Serena, Grace and I won the poster competition. We got a price each. At the end of the day we had some Japanese food and we all had a great time. by Emma

 

Investment Challenge

Every week we have 2 computer sessions and last week we started the investment Challenge.  We all started off with 100,000 thousand dollars and had to choose what companies we invested in. We had to choose one Industry Company and one mining company. Once you picked your companies you put your company’s names, how much money you gave them, the amount of each share and the number of shares you got in the company.

Each week we will check the progress of the company’s and at the end of the term we will see who made the most money out of the year5’s and 6’s.

Subway Surfers Victory

Subway Surfers Victory

On the 30^th of October Mrs Hamilton was showing us a video on the iPad when Mrs Hamilton opened an app called Subway Surfers. I wanted to play it so Mrs Hamilton let me, because the iPad was connected to the IWB (interactive whiteboard) so everyone could see me play. I was trying to beat Mrs Hamilton’s husband Paul’s score. His score was 160,000 and something. When I was playing I was sweating so much and apparently everyone else was so stressed out. I think I actually beat my own actual score. My score was 274,227!!! points. I died when I rolled down and smashed into a hurdle. When I died everyone was so disappointed. By Chris 5A

Japanese Day

Japanese Day

On Friday the 19^th of October Kerrimuir Primary School had an astonishing event called ‘Japanese Day.’ We didn’t have assembly like other Fridays; instead we had the opening ceremony for the Japanese Day. The ceremonial event consisted of Koetsu’s Dad Toshi playing his well-known tune on the drums.

After the Ceremony we got into our groups and off we went to our activities, drumming was my first activity with Toshi. I had a lot of fun with this activity and I think the other did as well.

I also got to make Okonimiaki which is a scrumptious Japanese vegetable pancake which contained, yep you guessed it Vegetables! We had to use chopsticks to eat it with which was quite challenging at first but when you get used to it, it’s quite effortless.

Next my group got to participate in the Undokai events including a Sack Race, Dodge ball, an Obstacle course and a running event. My preferred event was probably Dodge ball.

At the end of the rotations we had the closing Ceremony, Oh and I almost forgot in the opening Ceremony there was a Costume Competition. I can’t quite remember who won but I know that Zac Dooley won it for the senior boys.

Hoop Time Regionals

Draft Basketball regional’s Hoop Time

On Monday 15/10/12 of October some of level 4 went to Hoop Time Basketball regionals! We went to basketball regionals because we won all of our games except the grand final so we got to go. We lost 3 out of 4 games but I think we all played well. We shot a lot of goals especially Zac and Holly but everyone else were great defenders. After we had the presentation and everything we got to go to McDonalds!   We only got McDonalds because we all played well and we were fair. We got chocolate Sundays and frozen cokes. When we came back from hoop time we got to have free time which was fun because only the people that did hoop time got to. We all loved hoop time and we want to do it again

From James
