Term Two - end of term!

What a fun-tastic week we have had!  Busy busy busy!
Jordan was our VIP this week!
It was exciting to have our Winter Warm-up on a day that had actually snowed - while it meant school started a little later and we didn't get as many activities done as we'd planned, it was great to have an authentic atmosphere.

Here is a video with some photos of the day (there seems to be a wee technical glitch when the video reaches the trees photo - if it freezes up (excuse the pun) click ahead to the middle of the video timeframe then click back and it seems to get going then!)

We had pupils dressed up as snowmen, ice hockey players, couch potatoes, snowboarders, netballers and rugby players and more!

We published our winter experience sentences in the form of a huge class campfire and shared this at the celebration time.

Many of us then enjoyed our purchase from the Student Council barbecue, helping raise $300 towards an auction prize for the Battle of the Bridge fundraiser being held in the holidays.  We enjoyed sausages, steak and chops - yum, yum, yum!

Our speeches were presented this week and what a lot of awesome speakers we have in this school!  You can view videos of our speeches here on our YouTube channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/Rm6Edendale

We are looking forward to the ski trip on the first Friday next term and we will enjoy our holidays as we have worked hard this term!
