Week 8 in review...

Although it has been only a short week, we have packed a lot in..

Maths - In maths we have been looking at angles. On Monday, we went around the school looking for examples of different angles. We took pictures of the ones we found and showed the class! We were able to find many examples of acute, obtuse, right, straight and reflex angles.

Buddies - we made some super cute and cuddly Easter Bunnies from paper plates with our gorgeous kindy buddies.
We had done a practice of the activity during project hour the week before, so were experts when it came to doing the activity with our buddy. We were super surprised at how good the kindy kids were at cutting, glueing and colouring in.
We can't wait to see our buddies again!!

New students...
We have had two new students start with over the last week! A big welcome to Matthew and Leith.

What happened in Week 7...

Second Assembly for the year
Mr Axton's class put on an Olympic sized display at the assembly.
It was enjoyed by all. A special viewing of the "National Day Against Bullying and Violence" video was shown and highlighted an important message about putting a stop to bullying at YBPS.

Our Honour Certificate recipients were:
Billy
Jaime
Cooper
Braedyn
Great work guys!!

WE ALSO WON THE GOLDEN BOOT!
The Golden Boot is awarded by Mr Jefcoate to the class that shows the best sportsmanship and levels of participation during PE!!!!

Year 6 Excursion 
On Thursday 17th March, all the year 6s, Mr Jefcoate, Miss Zogbhi, Mr Axton and Miss R headed out to Perth Convention Centre for the National Young Leader's Day!
Everyone was super on time and at school by 7.15am.
The bus ride there took over an hour and a half but when we arrived we were all extremely pumped for a day of learning about how to "Master the Little".

Four amazing speakers spoke to us about how they have become leaders in their worlds.

We heard from:

Nathan 'Dubsy' Want
Dylan Parker
Taku Scrutton
Drisana Levitzke-Gray
And a panel of influential people working in all different fields.

Buddy Activity
We had a practice go at our Easter Craft activity that we will be doing with our Kindy Buddies next week. They turned out really well and everyone put their own individual touch on them.

First session of Clubs
We all had our first session of Clubs. Some words Rm 14 used to describe their afternoon were:
Robotic, awesome, yummy, fun and challenging.
