Rugby League

For the last four weeks we have been having rugby league lessons with Coach Sam.  We have learnt to make a big `W' with our hands, look at the ball when passing and squishing the ball when we put it down. We have really enjoyed working with our team!

Words of the week: can, for, will, end

Sounds for the week: short vowel o, u, er, or

May the Force be with you

This week was Science week and it started off with a push and a pull as we investigated different everyday items that use a push or pull movement. In small groups we rotated around five activities. They were:
1. pushing rubber bands onto geoboards
2. a pulley system
3. pushing a ball
4. pulling blu tack
5. pushing blocks together

On Wednesday, we had a Science in the Van show. The Three Billy Goats Gruff used pushing, pulling and friction to move the Troll off the bridge to get to the other side.

On Friday, we had our very own Room Five Scientists show their science homework projects. We had a great range of experiments and information gathering. Well done!

Keeping Ourselves Safe

Welcome to Eden who completes are classroom for the year.

This week, Constable Harwood came in and talked to us about using our cell phones to dial for an emergency. Please show your child how they can access 111 on your cell phone.  He also talked about what to do if someone tries to get them into a car. We practised saying 'Help, help, help!" Lastly he reinforced the need to know where they live. Please continue to talk to your child about their letterbox number, street and suburb.

Next week we start our unit on forces - push and pull. We have the Science Van coming in on Wednesday for this. Please send in $4 if yo haven't already and keep working on those Science Projects at home. They need to be brought in on Friday. Good luck.
