Gymnasts

Many children from Room 8 represented Parkvale School at the Gymnastics Festival.  

They represented Parkvale with PRIDE and have shown a lot of determination and commitment to learn the routines for mat, beam and vault. 

Gymnastics - Video Maker

Because we were such wonderful gymnasts showing PRIDE we got to have a turn in the foam pit. It was so much fun!

Congratulations gymnasts! You were wonderful.

Library Magic

We wrote about the library, a very special place in our school.

We used a poem written by an old student from Parkvale School, Nicole as our inspiration. If you would like to read it you will find it framed in our school library.

What are the Kidd-li-winks creating?

Can you work out what the Kidd-li-winks are creating?

A clue. It has something to do with levers.

The parts we made last week. 

How are they going to go together?

Rippa Rugby

Lots of children from Room 8 competed in a rippa rugby tournament. 

The children gave their best throughout the day. 

I really enjoyed seeing Room 8 Kidd-li-winks show determination and taking a risk by trying something new. 

Here are a few photos from the day

A huge big thank you to Bowen's Dad, Bella's Dad and Henrietta's Mum for coaching and supporting our teams. We really appreciate it and we couldn't do it without you.

Calculating Area

One of the learning tasks on the 'Can do' list was to create a dream house or a zoo using blocks and pic collage. The Kidd-li-winks had to use multiplication to work out the area of each room or enclosure.

The children used repeated addition to solve the problems

eg. 4x4=   4+4+4+4=16

Marble Painting

We have been learning how forces are all around us. We used forces and levers to create our marble art. 

We had to choose a shape and create the silhouette. This was tricky because we wanted to put in all the detail. 

It was lots of fun dipping the marble in the paint and creating all the different trails. We had to tilt the box different ways to get the marble to paint the gaps.
