We've got Rhythm!

Yesterday we went to Rhythm Interactive in the hall. We were all able to play on a drum. We also had to do actions with our hands and drums. It was cool because we got to play our own drum and learn different beats. Courtney thought it was funny because the man didn't talk the entire show. We joined in with the juniors and year 3 kids.

School Photos!!

Welcome to Room 18 2011!

Welcome to a new year in R00m 18 at Hampden Street School! As you can see from the photos above, things started off a bit rough but the children have shaken off the summer holiday blues and are raring to go in 2011. Reach for the stars R18!!

Thanks for a great year R18!!

Yesterday was a day of mixed emotions as school came to an end for 2010. It is always sad to say goodbye to a class - especially a fantastic one like this year. The good thing of course is they all come back again to say gidday the next year. On the positive side...well done to Hampden house for winning the first ever Hampden Street School house competition!! A terrific effort from all the kids. Go Hampden!

Finally, I wish everyone a safe and relaxing summer break! Eat lots, get outside and play and have fun! See you all next year

Middle Syndicate Big Day Out

Today the middle syndicate had their annual big day out at Tahuna Beach. Although the weather was a bit dicey, we decided to tough it out and go anyway. We started by building sand sculptures before moving onto Miss Schwass' scavenger hunt. After a few relays we had a swim, before having lunch at the playground. The day finished off with a massive game of capture the flag.

Middle Syndicate athletics

Yesterday the middle syndicate held their annual athletics display. Competition was tough in the scorching hot conditions. In the end R18 achieved excellent results in the sprint finals. The girls dominated the Yr4 race with Alice winning, and Amelia and Katherine sharing 2nd place. Zach was the top boy coming in in 4th place. It was great to see so many parents come along this year to watch their children.
