Daniel shows resilience

For fitness, we are trying something new on the playground. Daniel showed great resilience when he wanted to try go down the fire-mans pole for the fire time. He was a little worried at first but didn't give up. After 2 or 3 goes he was so confident.

Well done Daniel for showing resilience and not giving up!!

Retelling 'No, Skipper'

Today for reading we read No Skipper as a whole class big book. Then in pairs we used play dough and pictures to create the characters and setting. The students had to use the iPads to film themselves retelling the story. Aliya and Karma did a wonderful job. Check it out.
