Bastille Day Bonanza!

Fordell School had an amazing 14th July celebrating Bastille Day.  Our inquiry topic this term has been France and our costume day and class picnics finished the term off perfectly.

Heaps of fantastic French food!

 Max leading the Tour De France!

 Lauren as a French artist.

 Wearing the colours of the French flag.  Well done Mitchell.

 Another professional cyclist, great work John.

 Football the most popular French sport.  Here's Seth, footballer extraordinaire.

 A tough job for Mrs Jayes teaching an excited bunch about Moses!

 French colours, face flags and moustaches for Ryan abive and Kyle below.

 John and Connor showing off their face paints!

 Moustaches galore in room 3.  Nice one Ben (below) and Seth (above).

 Even the ladies have a moustache in our class!

 George and Heike look cool too.

 Mademoiselle Rose!

 Top chef Georgia.

 The Tour leader grows a quick moustache and beard.  It must have been a long ride!

 Cute Koby.

 Brilliant Blake, another footballer.

 All ready for the school parade..

 Even the teachers joined in!  Not looking too happy as Blip the mime clown Mrs Reddish.

 More cyclists than you can shake a stick at (old Yorkshire expression!)

 Bon appetite

Full, happy and a little tired.  An awesome day.

 Ben has achieved 5 stars for hard work and received his certificate in assembly.

 John received his certificate for gaining 15 stars for hard work.  He was also given a pencil from Mr Osmond for his exceptional presentation.

 Max is student of the week because of his kindness to other children and his helpfulness around school.  Fantastic!

Seth and Lauren received values awards in assemby.  Our value of the week was confidence.  They look pretty confident to me!

 Koby received his 'Student of the Week' award for his great attitude and for his excellent work in writing and reading.

 Rose earned a pencil from Mr Osmond for her amazing efforts with her handwriting and she also earned a values certificate.

 Heike received a values award for consistently displaying Fordell School's values.

Good work Max!  Max achieved 5 stars on the star chart for his hard work and Mr Osmond presented him with his certificate in assembly.

On alternate Friday mornings we meet up with Pre-school and the children in Room 3 read to them.

 John and Blake reading to Angus.

 Seth reading to Sam.

 Koby enjoyed reading to the girls on the comfy couch!

 Rose and Stevie enjoyed their book.

 Thank goodness for big brothers!  George reading to his little sister Maggie.

Max and Max - a great combo!

We had a healthy brain-food break during maths.  What funny faces!  The oranges had been brought to the Rippa Rugby tournament held at Fordell on Wednesday and it would have been a shame to waste them!

Thursday afternoon is an exciting time for Room 3.  It is club afternoon!  Here you can see the class learning how to play the ukulele with Mrs Fraser.  Other club activities include science, outdoor games and dance.  Fun times at Fordell.
