Ruby's Grandma reading to us

As part of Book Week we invited parents and grandparents to come and read to us. Ruby's grandma took up the challenge and came in and read two fantastic stories to us. Thank you so much for doing this. We loved the stories!!!

Disco Time!

After such a busy Pirate day at school, it was a great to end the day with a Pirate Disco. Thanks to all the kids who taught me some new moves and didn't laugh too much at my dancing!!!!

Pirate Day - Aaargh!

Wow - what a great effort everyone put in for our Pirate Dress Up day for Book Week. We had so much fun being Pirates for a day!

SAS - Serious About Science

We have been busy with our science unit 'SAS - Serious About Science".  Here are two of our experiments. The first one we put gummi bears in different solutions to see what would happen overnight. Most of them grew bigger. The one in vinegar became mushy!

The other experiment was to see how strong spaghetti is. We lay spaghetti down between 2 blocks and then added more blocks on top. It turns out spaghetti is rather strong!!!

Stu Duval

Parkland School was lucky enough to have Stu Duval, artist and author, come and teach us how to draw cartoons. Everyone had such a good time and I was super impressed by the quality of drawings that the children produced.
