Kiwi Kick

On Monday the 23rd of November Andrew and Dean from the Australia Football League came to teach us about aussie rules. We have learned a new style of kicking and passing that will help us when playing aussie rules. We had a lot of fun and we would like to play it more often. They are running lunch time or after school programmes next year for eight weeks. The cost to play and get a bag of equipment is just forty dollars and everyone can play. Over half our class are interested in playing because it seems like a lot of fun.

Camp Bentzon

In week 2 of term 4 Rooms 1 and 6 went to Camp Bentzon. We all had a wonderful time while we were there. Through the week we were involved in some activities and a couple of walks. When we got to camp we went on a walk. On Tuesday we did 3 activities. On Wednesday we went on a trip to Mansion House. On Thursday we had our last 3 activities. Each day we were there we went swimming and fishing. Erin one of the camp supervisors told us that there was a mantaray there the size of the pontoon. Camp this year was so much fun. Also a big thanks to all the parent helpers. It wouldnt be the same without you.

Guy Fawkes

On Saturday the 7th of November Tomarata School had their Guy Fawkes. It was so much fun and there were cool things to do like the Merry go around for the little kids and this big slide for everyone! Mr. McCracken did the raffle with lots of cool prizes. They had lots of good food like candy floss, chips, and sausages. It was just great!!! And as soon as it was dark the bonfire started and the winning scarecrows got burned. The best bit was the fireworks. It was great and it a nice time to relax and talk with friends. It was the best.

Camp Bentzon

Camp was awesome apart from the walk to Mansion House when Mr McCracken led us the wrong way and then I fell over and still have a scar. Mansion House was wicked. All the different rooms and the architecture were extraordinary.
The best activities were the water activities. Sailing was cool. I thought Kirsty and I were going to flip but fortunately we didn’t although Phoebe and Jo filled their boat with water and still managed to stay afloat. The raft making was really really fun. The girls made two rafts except they both failed but the boys were kind enough to let us use their raft that had succeeded. All four of the girls hopped on but then we fell off. We tried about four times but we kept falling off so we gave up but Jo still wanted to go so I decided I would go with her. So when we got quarter the way out Phoebe decided she wanted to come. She swam out and kicked at the back and then decided she was too tired so she hopped up on the raft and Mr Morrow swam out with a paddle for Phoebe. He kicked on the back when we got out to the pontoon. We all hopped on to the pontoon and swam back while the boys towed back the raft.
The confidence course was pretty cool too. There was a rope that we had to go across and there were lots lots more fun activities.
