Outdoor Education

Last week, we participated in Outdoor Education Activities. We went Ten Pin Bowling, Caving and to the Adventure Forest. In Ten Pin Bowling we had to be persistent and resilient to try to bowl the pins down. In Caving and the Adventure Forest we certainly needed courage, persistence and be a risk taker to overcome these challenges. It was exciting and fun!

Challenge

Our concept this term has been Challenge. Mrs Wendt set us some fun mini challenge activities i.e. domino runs, juggling, sled skiing, balance board, string games, origami, computer activities(agent ani, questionaut), and elastics. We had to use skills such as persistence, resilience, risk taking, and problem solving to overcome the challenge.

Eco Waste

Anna from eco-waste came to our class and worked with the children on creating a more sustainable planet. We looked at shopping smarter to reduce waste, what we can recycle and reuse. Our challenge was to have a zero waste lunchbox. Our class achieved 92% zerowaste lunchboxes.
