Last week we completed the Cycle Safe programme. Today we received our certificates which show what we are able to do.

Ka pai to the Year 6s for the great way you participated in this programme.

Please bring your PE gear tomorrow, Wednesday 14 June, as we will have PE in the afternoon, wet or fine.

On Tuesday 27 June and Wednesday 28 June we are holding the 3 Way Conferences. This is an opportunity for your child to share their learning with you. Please go to the School Interviews site to book your appointment. The school code is: 9je5n.

Buried Treasure

This afternoon Matthew, Theresse, Rhian, Maia F, Materoa and Alexis presented a play called 'Buried Treasure' about some pirates who followed a map to find the buried treasure. 

Ka pai, we enjoyed your performance.

Happy Birthday and Cycle Safety

On Sunday Maia F turned 10. Today we sang 'Happy Birthday' and wished her all the best as a 10 year old.

Today the Year 6s learnt about being safe when out biking. First Constable Megan talked to us about some important laws related to cycling. If our bikes are not road worthy or we do not wear a helmet we may be fined $55 for each offence. Next we checked our helmets to make sure they were not cracked and that they fit properly.

Then we were out on the courts riding. We learnt to signal when we turn and stop and where we should ride on the road. Some of us found it tricky to take our hand off the handlebar so that we could signal, but we kept practising and by the end of the session we were getting better. 

After lunch we spent some time in the classroom learning how to get safely through an intersection.

 

On Wednesday and Thursday most of us will ride on the road.

Cross Country Reps

Today Nia, William, Madde and Maia represented OLV at the Zone Cross Country races. They all ran well and enjoyed the experience. 

Madde came 12th

William came 19th

Today we wrote about our holidays. Here's a couple of snippets:

We had a couple of hours at the beach before the beach was eaten as the water climbed up the beach. Maia F

When we went down the slide it felt like our stomaches were now somewhere else in our bodies like we were on a roller coaster as there was a really steep drop. Nia

When I went in the house I felt a warm breeze welcoming me. It gave me goosebumps on the inside and outside. Maia P
