    things that I hadn't known

    before.

    Kate Turner-Ricketts

    We were blown away by some of

    the stuff the kids had done. Some

    of the technical stuff and the

    models they presented were really

    amazing. One thing that came

    across was how much the Kids

    enjoyed it, and how proud they

    were when they presented their

    topics. I have to take my hat off to

    every one of them, it was a job

    very well executed.Michelle Newth

    When the students of Grade 4

    completed their Storytelling unit

    recently, some of them

    volunteered to be risk-takers and

    tell their traditional story to a new

    audience.

    All overcame their nerves and

    demonstrated their confidence

    and abilities as communicators.Well done to Alastair, who

    braved the entire school

    assembly, Lena who ventured

    They were clearly passionateabout their chosen topics (e.g.

    ood factories, animal based

    medicines and global warming)

    and were eager to share their

    acquired knowledge with the

    parents and teachers.

    I just wanted to say that I

    hought the standard of work in

    he exhibition was really

    mpressive. The intelligent,

    entertaining and interesting

    approach the class had to their

    chosen subjects was admirable,but above all great fun.I really

    enjoyed listening to what they

    had learned and found out many

    outside the school and went to

    the local Kinderland child care

    centre, Saarthak and Joe who

    told to Grade 3 and Annika

    and Intira who entertained

    Grades 1 and 2 respectfully.

    Mr LakeMr LakeMr LakeMr LakeThe Grade 3s have started their

    new Unit of Inquiry on technology

    and space. They have been

    gaining an interest in the topic by

    developing a wordle (see

    below) on their space words.

    Bonnie Paul (Ilenas Mum) who

    used to work as a nurse for

    NASA, came in and gave a

    speech about some of the space

    missions the space shuttle has

    done. It was timely as we havejust had the last flight of the

    space shuttle Endeavour.
