Today was ROCKET DAY!

We had a wonderful time letting off water rockets with the Junior School and REAL rockets with the Senior group who have spent the last few weeks making them.  Check out the video below of one of the real rockets going off ….
Many thanks to Mr Brookland and Mrs Steadman for all their work getting the rockets set up and made.

What a wonderful time we all had!!

Nick, Saph, Georgia, Mike, and Brooke have wonderful posters describing their research about the things that they do that can be described as literacy.

On Tuesday we had two very special people come to visit our school.  Room 9 do the flag challenge each week and last week they wrote to the owner of all the flags – Mr Larkin.  He brought with him a very special lady called Miss Petrie, who is 99 years old (she turns 100 in December) and she used to go to Outram School.

Tonight is the school disco run by the Student Council. Let the dancing BEGIN!!

Yesterday we began making the rockets … They are very cool! They are real rockets and we will be firing them soon once they are painted.

Once again it is a wonderful day!
