We have returned to school after our June-July Winter holidays.

Here is a peek into our classroom on the first day of Term 3.

Our English Theme for the next month is Japan. We learned about and wrote haiku's in class and decorated our pages with cherry blossoms after looking at pictures of them online.
Our two Grade 6 girls organised a Read-a-thon in the June-July school holidays. Most of us always choose the same kind of book to read in the mornings so to encourage us to read different types of material our competition encouraged us by awarding a "Scouting" badge for each genre of book we read.
June 8th was World Oceans Day. We celebrated it by making a pledge to do something to help our water resources and oceans. This is especially important in South Africa where water is so limited.
This term our groups have a pirate theme. We have been put into groups of three and our group leader is our Captain. We are earning treasures (good deeds) and cannon balls (bad deeds) in our treasure boxes each week. On Fridays the leading "Ship" is rewarded with one gold doubloon. At the end of the term the group with the most gold doubloons gets a treasure chest prize.
The Grade 5s began writing in ink this term after writing a very serious "Pen Exam" last term. They are very excited about this and are going through Tippex (whiteout?) at a terrific rate!
