Talent Quest Assembly

Gore Main had a special assembly today to recognise those children who performed in the Talent Quest Performance. Here are the Room 3 award winners...congratulations Room 3 performers we are all very proud of you!


Our Camouflage Technology Challenge

This week we have designed and created a camouflage product to allow us to hide in Bannerman Park and observe animals without being seen. 

We followed the design process by first of all researching current ways to camouflage, we drew concepts then choose one and planned what our camouflage product would look like. On Thursday we built our product. Today we went up to Bannerman Park and tested them out!

Here are some photos from today

In our camo clothes ready to go!


We worked as a team and helped each other out to get all of the products to the park







How many camouflaged children can you spot in the bushes??
























The deer didn't even run away! Some of the kids were able to watch them from their hiding spot! 

What a great end to the term! Have a fantastic holiday break everyone!

Spring Time Buddy Reading

We are practising reading smoothly and fluently to each other. It is important that we make our reading sound interesting so people will listen to our stories!




Amazing Authors

We have been super busy working on our Story Bird stories in pairs today...keep an eye on the "Our Published Books" tab of this blog to see the finished products.

Thanks to everyone who brought along some materials to create their camouflage product. We will be doing the building of these products on Thursday morning to give everyone time to bring along what they need. 

The children have been put into different groups and each group has a different area to camouflage in.  Here are photos of the different areas.....
