Health Expo

On the 29th of October the whole school participated in the Get Smart Expo. It gave us information about being Smarter than Smoking and looking after the environment.

All the students in the school made a show bag along with a badge. We could wear the badge on the day and use the bag to collect all sorts of goodies. We also had a passport and we ticked off the activities which we had done or stalls we had visited such as aerobics, a barbeque, Captain Clean Up, a clown who made balloons characters, City of Nedlands, Waste Wise and much more to do with well being, healthy living and saving the environment.

Tournament of the Minds

Here are some of the TOMS teams. TOMS stands for Tournament of the Minds. In TOMS children from years 5-7 compete in a competition. They have to use their higher order thinking skills to create a short play about a certaint subject.

The first play performed for the students at Nedlands was about a young wizard who cast a spell to protect his spell book but instead erased every picture in every picture book. The story is about how the characters, such as piglet, Winnie the pooh, tiger and rabbit, fight to reverse the spell.
The second play was about three towns called ChitterChatter, Chatterlot and Chatter Town. Each town has a species of white tiger. These towns were the best of friends until one day the two towns of ChitterChatter and Chatter Town's tigers turn evil and had to build a wall between the three towns. The scientists from Chatter Lot suddenly find a cure and make a contraption to send to ChitterChatter and Chatter Town. This team won the state finals in WA and will be representing WA in the Australian finals which are held in Brisbane. There they will be put in a room, given a goal and have two hours to create another play. Afterwards they will perform it and will be judged on what they managed to create in that time given. We wish them lots of luck!

Junior Choir Concert

The Junior Choir performed at the Altius Centre at Nedlands Primary School. The pieces we performed were Peanut Butter Jam, The Moon, Humpty Dumpty, It's a Lovely Day, Three Little Speckled Frog and lots more.

Dance Night

The Wolf Asks for Help

That`s me! The wolf in the middle. I visited a psychologist where I learnt to apply my knowledge. I also used Bloom`s thinking skills. Then, in the end, the pigs and I became friends.

The Three Little Pigs

The third little pig used application when he built his house of bricks. The first and second little pigs used only their knowledge of house building using straws and sticks.
