Doodle for Google

We found this online on the Google home page. It is a school competition so we thought we could enter. This is a competition for years 1-6 as you need to have the words GOOGLE in it, (it will have to be in capitals). You need to make it thinking about If I could travel back in time…

You are only allowed one entry per person so you can make different designs, but you have to have one to enter. You will be disqualified if you use more than one per person. You will also be disqualified if you use any logos or copyrighted images. The judges will choose 20 people from each year group and might win 10,000 dollars worth of technology equipment for their school.

Please get entries to Nicola before 14th August

Back Yart

Back Yart!

A frenzy of furious activity, an explosion of form and colour, Worser Bay kids bursting forth with creativity: what is it?

It’s our biannual Art exhibition of course!

The work on display is the culmination of our school wide Inquiry, What’s in My Backyard?

BACK YART!

There are all kinds of representations of Flora and Fauna, from prints and paintings through to sculptures and installations, done by students of all ages.  

Begin your tour on the driveway perhaps where we are flying the flags of the future.  Walk through the classrooms, admiring the work on the tables and walls, then make your way to the outdoor display areas.

Dressed up trees, lit up bird houses, bird baths, fish swimming on a fence.

Stitched trees growing, sculptures hanging, flying forms springing from the earth.

Driftwood drifting, lanterns glowing.

Watch out for the skeletal beasts with their sadly jangling bones!

Enjoy and participate in the excitement!

Kayaking

Our kayakers have been having a great time at the pool each week.

Year 3-6 Cross Country

Today we had a great time at Worser Bay Beach running our annual Cross Country.

Art Exhibition Week

Dear Parents and Caregivers

Please note that due to the preparation for the art exhibition, we will not be running our regular literacy program. There will be no spelling testing this week and the children may bring home books to read that they have seen before. Please take this opportunity to focus on fluency, expression and identifying high frequency words, when reading these books.

THUNDER

Wow! What an amazing day of weather. 

Buckets of rain, thunder and lightening.

Here is a snippet of inspiration from one of the children.

"The thunder hit the sky and unrolled like a carpet of sound"
