Fireman Visit

On Friday we had a visit from the Halcombe Fire Brigade. The Student Council and Tyler presented them with the money we fundraised on 'Red Day' for the Blood and Leukaemia foundation. Room 7 were very lucky and were able to try on a fireman helmet and sit in the fire engine. Here are some photos of the visit.

Red Day

Today is 'Red Day'. Halcombe School dressed in red and  raised money to support the Blood and Leukaemia foundation. We had a parade to show off our radical red outfits. Ella and Tyler won a prize for being the best dressed in Room 7. You all look terrific Room 7!

Another fun day at Halcombe School.

Mini Commonwealth Games

We had our own Commonwealth Games at school yesterday. The Student Council organised lots of fun activities. The teachers had to choose 3 children who  tried hard and supported their team during the games. These children all got medals. Well done, Tahlia, Emily and Finn for winning medals. Thank you to the Student Council for such a great day! We had lots of fun. Here are some photos:

Cloud Paint

Room 7 had lots of fun making cloud paint today. They mixed shaving foam and PVA glue together with our hands. The cloud paint was very sticky and fluffy. The children used their fingers and cotton buds to create pictures. All the children had lots of fun making a mess and exploring with the cloud paint. We got cloud paint everywhere! What a fun afternoon!
Here is a brainstorm of our activity:

Look at us go!

Today Room 7 worked with some Room 6 children to create some photos. It was called 'Blue Screening'. We chose some photos of athletes competing at the Commonwealth Games and then we used a computer program called 'Umajin' to put our faces on the athletes bodies. We had to make sure our heads were facing the right way and we had to try and make the same face as the athletes. Here are some photos of us working with our buddies.

Here are our pictures. We had lots of fun making these pictures.

 



Thank you Miss Simpson and Room 6 for helping us make our pictures.
