Tyah, Annabelle, Kuini & Liv working hard on their invitations.

And we have early finishers...Petra & Esther (SHARP student, wearing mufti)..working on their projects.

Fergus, Jacob & Jet - these boys are awesome, for their free time they asked to make bookmarks, so here they are with my scrapbooking equipment.

SHARP students in Room 7 for week 6 - Niysa, Jacob & Esther....this week I decided to hand the SHARP reigns over to the students. They each wrote down 2 people of whom they thought had been SHARP and what it was they had done. Quite clear winners for helping, being overall SHARP etc...were these 3. So great job. 

SHARP lesson for weeks 6-7 - SUN SMART...as you can see this is what we are learning about: We do need to see this happening at school, especially during terms 4 and 1. So be sun smart - wear a hat, slip - slop - slap!

Our inquiry topic - we discussed what a NET was so that the students can make their packaging container....they were all really good at knowing this as we covered 3D shapes last term....a lot of them remembered and were able to explain what and how. 

 BABY COMPETITION - guess the baby photo - here is Cam with his filled in entry form...and the winner..was....

 PETRA - Petra guessed 21 baby photos correctly - and just as I was announcing this - her Dad walked in the door - so how great was that!!

 On Thursday Ali brought this egg without a shell into class  - the children and myself were fascinated. They learnt was mebrane was - and also a lot more as Ali put together a mini-research project on this. He presented his project in a keynote and the children watched it - and then asked Ali questions which he answered very well. The only thing he didn't know was "egg drop syndrome" so on Friday with myself he did some more research.
Mr Hammond popped in and told Ali that sometimes lack of calcium causes this in hens - so to crush up egg shells and put into the hens feed.

A lot of questions alongside great discussion....

Our MUFTI sharp girl - well done Esther. =)

Have a great week all.
