Last week three student teachers came in to learn and help out.There was Miss Kippenberger, Miss Trotman and Mr Williams.  My home base's student teacher is Miss Kippenberger but we call her Miss K. Miss K is a kind teacher and all the student teachers have been so fun, their like our real teachers. Sadly Miss K has to leave next Wednesday but Miss Trotman and Mr Williams is staying till the end of the term. Have you ever had student teachers?

On Tuesday and Thursdayqa we did Canta Math in our class. Canta Math is when you get into groups and the teacher gives you the first question and once you work it out the runner takes it to the teacher and checks it. If you get it right you move on to the next question and if you get it wrong you have to keep trying. But you  do have the option to pass it. Have you ever done canta math?

Today was Book Character day. Book Character day is when you come dressed up as a book character and the person best dressed gets a prize. I dressed up as Mary Poppins and my friend dressed up as a Unicorn. before lunchtime we did a parade of every class walking around the court.One of my other friends dressed up as Maleficent and won out of our hub.

In school we have been working on Creative Writing. Creative Writing is writing a story while using your imagination. Here is a sample of mine. “Sarah, come on look at the sea.”Sarah's sister shouted. Sarah runs fast but the ship stops and she tumbles over the side. Sarah slips and falls from the boat Into the depths of the Ocean sinking. As she plummets into the freezing water she clenches her eyes shut while tasting the salt in her mouth.At first she squirms about and tries to hold herself up, but then she realizes there is no hope and it is not worth living the moment so she lets herself sink.Sarah feels the rocks scraping against her leg and smells seaweed.

This week on Monday we participated  in Top Team activities. Top Team is challenges that build up your team building skills. There were 10 challenges but we didn't do two of them. My team was number 11. My favourite challenge was when you have to carry a bucket of water over your head and you go over the obstical and if you drop it you loose.
