IBL

This term our topic for IBL is Lightening the Load. Ms Vahry has got 3 problems and it is up to the Year 6 classes to solve them.
The three problems are:
  • She has to carry six two litre milk bottles to the staff room twice every week
  • Carrying crackers and tissues every week with not enough arms
  • Trying to lug paper around on a broken trolley

For these problems we need to come up with a solution and we need to make sure that the model will work. Here are some photos down below of us in action!

Grandparents Day


Grandparents Day
Grandparents day has been a blast! We had an exciting day spending time with our lovely grandparents. Some of us were lucky enough to get a few books from the book fair! Here are a few poems that we have wrote to show how much we appreciate them:

What are Grandparents made of?

Your love inside is impossible to hide
All the birds funny names I love them all.
You come to celebrate each special holiday.
Love like yours is hard to find.
That’s what you are made of.
Explore and run to find your fun.
I adore all the clothing you get for me.
I’ve loved you for all my life.
And that smile I can’t deny.
That’s what you are made of.
Joy and care and emotions to share.
A loving heart for a joyful start.
Facts to teach for my own reach.
That’s what you are made of.
 By Xavier

A hugger, a kisser. A grandchild misser
A thoughtful listener. An opinion giver 
A son embarrasser. A grandchild’s story teller
A willing hand to hold offer, coming from their heart of gold and copper...
That’s what my grandparents are
A storyteller from the past; carrying memories to last
The smiles they create are more then great
Their pavs galore and eyes that adore
They take their time to add the extra touch that says “I love you very much.”
That’s what my grandparents are...
Nanny & pappy, I love you to the moon and back and even further then that!


Lots of love Sammie! Xx

Grandparents

The cheerful talks
The charming walks
Will make me play
For the rest of the day

The delicious chips n dip
Will always find my lips
And a yummy mandarin
“Please count me in”

That’s what you're made of

Up and down the river
Will usually make me quiver
When we play gin
I love it when you win

You always make me smile
Even past a mile
And when the joyful tears appear
They give us cheers and beers

That's what you're made of

Thanks for watching me score goals
I know you're fantastic at lawn bowls
You are really good at bridge
Hopefully Mabel doesn't fall off the ridge

That is what Grandma is made of

Dear Poppa Don

A joy like your’s, is hard to find
A life with you, I wouldn’t mind
I love you to bits, Poppa Don
You make me smile all along

The times we spent at Yumchaa
Are moments I never want to forget
That grin you have is a delight
And there’s not one grey hair in sight
Warm hugs and kisses and beautiful wishes
Taking me places and you’re always there when I win my races
You’re the best Won-Ton-Don-Ton
Love from your best granddaughter E.M.I

What You Are Made Of

Dear Nana

You go on campervan trips, beach dips
We have Taipa fun, under the sun
Staying the night in your warm cosy house, I never get a fright, and you wouldn’t hurt a mouse!
Collecting smurfs, and watching my soccer on the turf
That’s What You Are Made Of
I love you, and Scruffy does too!
When you bring me a mini cucumber, it cures my hunger
You do every chore, I couldn’t want more
That’s What You Are Made Of
You’re eyes shine bright like an angel in the sun, I hope I’m your favourite grandson
Your lovely voice I hear, is music to an ear
That What You Are Made Of
I play my mum at Chinese Checkers, but playing you is always better
I love you from the bottom of my heart, that love will never fall apart
The love inside I cannot hide
When you go I will want to cry, I never want to say goodbye


Love From Reeve
