Mandarin

Our new mandarin teacher, Amy, took her first lesson with the class at the start of the term. She started off by going over some of the simple greetings we had learnt previously but in a fun way. She has been teaching us how to introduce ourselves and how to introduce someone else. We also learnt how to tell the time. In our last lesson Amy taught us how to make paper lanterns like the ones in the picture below. It is fun to learn a different language and we are looking forward to many more interesting mandarin lessons throughout the year.

Year 6 Camp Stalls

On Thursday 6 April, the Year 6 children had their camp stall. It was held in the school hall at lunchtime. There was a huge crowd of people buying all sorts of things. It was amazing looking at all the different things people were selling. They were selling things like baking, toys, lollies, drinks, popcorn etc. They had to make posters saying what they were selling at their stall, as well as the price. Most things were either $1.00 or 50c. The Year 6’s made $526.40 from the camp stall which was a huge success and we really appreciate all the parent help we received to prepare our goods for sale. Now we can’t wait until we head off to camp in November!
