Saxton's Gold Rush
On Friday the whole school headed off to Saxton's Fields for our first ever Saxton's GoldRush. It was a huge success and everyone looked like they had heaps of muddy fun. Well done to Room 8 who put in a great effort. Can you spot yourself through the mud?

Choral Chant
As part of our reading rotation we all performed choral chants. We were practicing varying the pace and pitch of our voices, talking in unison and individually, in rounds and adding silence to our performance. Can you spot these techniques in this performance?

Nonsense Poems
During our guided reading sessions with Ms McCauley we were reading the nonsense poem "There's a wonton in my pompom." We used this as inspiration to write our own nonsense poems. This is a poem that one group created together.
There's a hippopotamus and a ritapotamus in a pineapple under the sea
The cat sat on the mat while he was eating a ratty rat rat
The digging dog was digging up a very dirty delicious disgusting bone
Bob the slob ate a blob while he was slopping on a a very grobble grob grob
The troll was laughing out loud while licking a live goat LOL
Cate made a cake while eating a characteristic carrot coloury cat
Charlie chewing a giant finger while a chinga was chewing caramel
So I better go home and find a new finger.
We hoped you enjoyed our nonsense poem.

Science Experiments
In science we are learning about chemical change. Yesterday we observed chemical changes that involved fizzing and foaming and a chemical change that produces heat, this is called an exothermic reaction. We mixed hydrogen peroxide and yeast together, we observed that the temperature rose form 15 degrees to 35 degrees. We then made elephants toothpaste. This chemical change involved both heat production and fizzing and foaming.

Never Give Up
In music this week we studied the Protest Song "Never Give Up" by Kenbe La Rap. This song was written in response to the massive earthquake which struck Haiti in 2010. Kenbe La means ‘Never Give Up’ in Haitian Creole. It is a vehicle for hope in the face of a tragedy that is literally incomprehensible.“Union Fait La Force” – United We Stand.
