Interschool Crosscountry

Yesterday was Interschool Crosscountry.

We went on the bus to the farm.  It was freezing cold and we had to try to stay as warm as we could under our tent on the hill.

When it was time for our race we all warmed up and then gave it our very best!  The hills were very steep and there were holes in the ground but we made it to the end!

Thank you to all the parents who came to cheer us on!

We LOVE to read

This term our library day has been on a Wednesday.

When we go to the library we make sure we are super silent so that we all can browse the books.

Some of us are even starting to read chapter books!

Here are a few exceptional readers from the library today...

Team Time

Did you know every week the Junior School gets together for team time?

We hand out mathletics certificates and the teachers give out special classroom certificates as well.

If we get a classroom certificate we get our photo taken by Mrs Butler and put on the Junior Stars window for all to see!

Here our the Junior Stars for Week 7

Aye Aye

Today we read a story called Aye Aye.

The story was about Aye Aye trying to be helpful but the twin bunnies were being mean and trying to win.  Aye Aye really wanted to be in a story book.  In the end Aye Aye got the trophy for being the most helpful person in the class and he got to be in a story book.

In the story they made paper hats.  We decided to make them too...

Here are some of our hats...
