In week 4 we had our school Cross Country. After weeks of training we had a perfect day for it. Mrs Ashford was very impressed with the determination and perseverance displayed by Room 16 in their running events.

We did very well in placing Zek, Aston,William, Casen, Tyler, Ollie, Brielle, Zsanett, and Ellie in the Top ten.

Zek, Casen, Brielle and Ellie all went on to represent the school in the Cross Country Zone competition.

Over the last few weeks Room 16 have all been working very hard to write, and present to the class, persuasive speeches. After holding a class semi final and voting Aston and Alariah became our two finalists to represent our class in the Year 5 & 6 Speech Finals. To our delight, (although we weren't surprised) Alariah placed 2nd and Aston placed 3rd. 
A terrific outcome for Room 16 and we were all very proud of them.

On Wednesday the 1st of June we went to PAKnSAVE for a class trip. We were learning about sugar, sodium, fat total, energy, dietary fibre &calcium. We had a little group of about 2-3. We had to go around the supermarket and went finding everyday food/drink & occasional drinks/food. Try to guess how much sugar is in sour patch lollies? 59.2g

This week room 16 have been doing sign post art for what they want to be in life. First we did the clouds and the flowers with crayon, next we dyed it with blue dye for the background, then let it dry. After that we added the signpost then the grass over the top. Then we wrote on the arrows what we wanted to be in our life. Finally the teacher took a photo of us and we glued it next to our post sign.

Room 16 has also been making hot air balloon, with values on them. (e.g risk taking, well being, self belief, motivation,)
we all had to make our own box for the bottom of our hot air balloon.
