Sovereign Hill

On the 21st of November 4/5A, 5/6A and 5/6C went to Sovereign Hill because our term topic was the Australian Gold Rush.

We had two buses come pick us up and we had to leave at 8:30am sharp otherwise they would've left without you. The bus trip took 2 hours and everybody was very sleepy, but I couldn't sleep.

The activities we got to do were: panning, going into the shaft mine, learning about life on the goldfields, bowling and so much more. One of the highlights for me was the candy store. I got to see the soldiers marching and they shot out paper bullets. The first one scared the life out of me and the others just trembled me.

The way back from Sovereign Hill took so long because of heavy traffic and an accident and instead of arriving at 5:30pm we arrived at 6:30pm! It was okay though the day at Sovereign Hill was amazing and I would love to go back there again.

Has he got the Kerrimuir cake raffle award?

Harrison won three cakes yesterday at the cake raffle. That is the most I've seen since being at Kerrimuir. Others say Jamie may still hold the record of 4 cakes but we are happy to say Harrison is the record holder.

A big congratulations Harrison.

Bandana Day

On Thursday 30th October Kerrimuir PS celebrated bandana day which supports children with cancer. The JSC decided to support this great foundation because of Rafael who we all sent birthday cards to earlier on this year.
A huge thank you to all who helped support this fantastic cause.

 

3/4Camp- Arrabri Lodge

What an amazing time we had... Flying fox, Giant swing, mini golf, archery and a funtastic camp fire were a few of the fun things we did at Arrabri Lodge. Dave and Tony provided us with action packed days and yummy food while at camp. Camp was a great experience for everyone and the weather made it possible to ensure we all had great fun. 

Prep Buddy Excursion

The highlight of the Prep/grade 5 buddies would have to have been going to Hay's Paddock in Kew for a picnic with our buddies. 

It was a perfect day for lots of playground fun as well as some fun games to end the glorious day. 

This excursion was a great way to end a successful buddy program this year- even though we still have a few weeks of being official buddies but being a buddy is not just a job for one year. 

 

Book week

Everyone loves book week. This year was no exception. Well done to everyone who dressed up as a book character. It was fantastic to see so many original ideas. And of course the brilliant little pigs performance. 

Human body expo

To finish our body system integrated topic for this term, we had a parent/student expo. All the students had to work with their groups to create a booth and each a 3D model for the expo. All the students worked hard to prepare all the items required and worked tirelessly. I commend all the students on such fantastic work and demonstrating great knowledge and understanding of the topic covered thus term.
