The Marrog

The Marrog

Today we learnt about The Marrog. We listened to the poem of the Marrog, and had to draw an image of what we thought the Marrog looked like.

Don’t know what The Marrog is? Have a look at the video below.

Have a look at our Marrog drawings below and check that they have the same features that are listed in the Marrog poem.

Below are some limericks we wrote in class. We needed to learn the format of a limerick, write some drafts, edit and present them.

Here are the ones that have been finished. Click on the picture to enlarge them!

Lapathon 2011

Lapathon 2011

Check out the pictures below from this year’s Lapathon. We had a great morning, and some very tired and sore bodies afterwards!

We worked out that LA 19 ran a total of 80.1km (267 laps of the oval) in approximately 40 minutes! A great effort! Everyone was surprised to see the distance they ran once we worked it out. GREAT WORK!

Meet Hannah and Star

Hannah and Star

Below is a wonderful photo of Hannah and her dog Star. It is great seeing photos of some fantastic pets. Keep them coming in! It would also be good to get some information about why you like your pet so much, how old your pet is and anything else people may find interesting.

Thanks Hannah!

Melbourne Cup Day

Melbourne Cup Day

As we watched Dunaden closely win the Melbourne Cup today, we spent the morning learning about some famous Australian racehorses. We learnt about Phar Lap, Peter Pan, Makybe Diva, Rising Fast, Carbine and Archer. Please comment below about any facts you remember about these horses. There will be a prize for whoever can remember the most by the end of the week.

Below are some pictures of students dressed up as well as learning about the cup.

Pets!

Keeping Pets…

Today I let my pet ferret run around on the lawn. He had a great time running around and exploring. Pets are a great way to learn how to become responsible and to look after something that relies on you.
I took a couple of pictures of Felix for everyone to see. It is really funny to watch Felix jumping around like crazy!

I want everyone to tell me about their pet. What is your pets name? Why do you like keeping pets? If you can get mum or dad to email me a picture of you with your pet then I would love to put it up on the blog!

CONGRATULATIONS! What a wonderful fete!

THANK YOU AND WELL DONE

The 2011 Fete is over, but what a HUGE success! THANK YOU to all the wonderful students and parents who helped out today. It would have been IMPOSSIBLE without you!

It was such a pleasure to be able to see everyone working together in SUGAR RUSH LANE with the sole purpose of improving our fantastic school!

Once again, thank you to EVERYONE involved, who both worked on the day, in preparation and with donations of prizes, drinks and everything else!
