St Thomas's Expo...

In M5 we have been very busy over the past few weeks getting our AMAZING product ready for our first ever 

St Thomas's Expo!

In M5 we are making a Drawstring Bag. We have been following the technology design process and been having lots of fun, success, and some failures (which help us learn too!).
We can't wait to show you our finished product!
Here are some photos of us going through the design process.

Teach the Teacher!

In M5 we have recently started something new called "Teach the Teacher!".

Once a week, 3 students get the opportunity to share their learning and teach Mrs Allen (and the rest of M5 of course) something that they are passionate about!

I've learnt about many different kinds of animals, (Foxes, Jaguars and many other amazing animals), Space, Cricket and even had a drawing lesson on how to draw a pig!

I can't wait to see what I get taught this week!

Eva and Oliver's Street Tomato Festival!

Berowald Place tomato festival! Each year our neighbourhood gets together to plant tomato’s and celebrate our tradition giving the tomato trophy to the proud family who had the best tasting tomato’s in a year. The Corbetts won this year (2015) and the Hannings won last year (2014). The trophy is very special to our neighbourhood. The tomato festival started in 2011. This is the list of the families who won throughout the years:2011 Joe Mihaljevich2012 Don Finlay2013 Boulmann2014 Hanning  (Eva’s family)2015 Corbett   (Oliver’s family)   We are proud of our Berowald place and who won throughout the years I’m sure it will keep on going over the years. The parents all do a vote to see who is the winner, however the parents cannot vote for themselves. The judge normally is the person who is hosting the festival. Also the person who is the judge has to be honest he can’t just give his one the highest score he has to prove it.The end By Eva and Oliver.

Winter! Brrrrr!!!

What book characters can you recognise?

Book Week at St Thomas's, 2015

Last week was our bi-annual (every 2 years) St Thomas's Book Week. A week filled with everything to do with books!
It started on Monday morning when we arrived at school to find our door decorated with The Very Hungry Caterpillar. It looked so good! (We just wonder WHO did it?!)
During the week, the Book Fair was held in the school library. We were able to browse the many books and we each wrote a 'wish list' to take home of the books we liked.
Many thanks to the generous donations from Eva and Ruby's family who donated books for our class library. We now have some wonderful books to read which is very exciting!
On Tuesday we watched the Perform Musical called Worlds Apart. This was the story about two characters - Molly and Edward, who lived 100 years apart but were able to communicate with each other through a magic box. 
On Thursday a visiting author, Melinda Szymanik came and talked to us about her job and read to us one of her books called The Ware Nana (not a bedtime story). We really enjoyed her story!
Finally, on Friday we were came to school dressed up as a book character. We had a Character Parade in the hall with the other classes from Syndicate 2. There were so many different characters, and some people had put a lot of effort into making their costumes.
What a fun week we had!
