In the Classrooms



























We were out of the classroom this week and set loose on the top oval for sports day. The weather was kind and we managed to hold the rain at bay until the final race. We enjoyed the Health Hustle with the rest of the Junior Primary and then participated in running races with Mr Weatherald. It was wonderful to see so many parents involved and encouraging us. Thankyou to Harry’s Mum for providing special house coloured cupcakes, they were a well-deserved treat after our races. A highlight for the children was the parent tug of war. All houses were well represented and parents bravely showed off their big muscles, but at the end of the competition Waterhouse (who had a suspiciously large number of enthusiastic participants) prevailed over the others! Thankyou to Mr Totill’s year five boys for their assistance with the tabloid activities. A special thankyou must go to Olivia’s Daddy, Duncan for providing us with house logo signs and signs to help us play our circle games, they were wonderful and will be responsibly recycled for next year!
Thankyou to all the parents and grandparents who joined us for the morning, the children had a ball and we hope you did too.

"Go Waterhouse! My Dad has got really big muscles," yelled Tommi as his Mum and Dad pulled at the tug-o-war rope.
“I ran as fast as a cheetah at sports day” said Christopher
