Johnny Danger book review

Johnny Danger 

Room 20 has been reading "Johnny Danger" by Peter Millett in class and it is brilliant  ACTION packed book. It has inspired us to be secret agents,  it is a mind blowing book with lots of twists and turns.

Peter has made up lots of funny and creative characters like Doctor   

Disastrous and his funny number 2s (they are his henchmen).

Johnny Danger is a top awesome agent with his bogey bombs  chewable parachute and his mega methane pills. 

Johnny Danger and his sidekick Penelope go to Ikki Ikki Bunga island to stop the terrible Dr Disastrous and the R.U.D.E.E virus.

Room 20 thought that Johnny Danger is a very interesting book because its so much like James Bond with all his top secret gadgets 

like the spy car,viper and his super umbrella.   

We think the book would appeal to any boy or girl from ages 7-13.
READ IT!

Cross Country at UHPS!

Yes it's that time again. On Wednesday we headed off across the boggy field after lunch for our annual Cross country event. Spirits were high, and we were keen to show everyone how much stamina we had developed over the last few weeks of training. 
It was a challenging run, and Room 20 students were impressive both in their attitude and in their placings too.
Well done Liam for coming 1st in the 9 year old boys, Nicole and Tyler for coming 2nd in the 9 year old girls and 10/11 year old girls respectively. 
Also, congratulations to Harrison and Kieran for your 3rd and 4th placings in the 10/11 year old boys!! Great running and fitness training everyone. 
Thanks to Vasti, Lauren, Liam and Kieran for leading the 5 and 6 year old children around their tracks. You were awesome leaders!!!

Holiday pics

It's holiday time! Hopefully everyone is having a great time.

Harrison and his family are in America at the moment. He has sent photos of some of his adventures. Here they are...

It looks like you're having a great time Harrison- Wish we were there!

Swimming Sports- our experiences.

In Week 4 we all headed off to Coatesville to compete in our swimming sports. Here are 3 recounts about the event.

Swimming Sports: By Harrison

"Crash!" The mind controlling clapper snapped. Then I saw a school of darting swimmers eager to get to the other side of the pool of torture. The water was icy cold. The first person finished. The timekeepers watched them with there evil eyes as if we were the prey. 
Finally it was my race. I ripped off my clothes. I lined up and dipped my feet into the icy cold pool. Then I turned into a popsicle. 
The clapper crashed and I was off with a zoom. The water exploded like a erupting volcano. I had a weird colourful hat on my head. My arms were windmills. We were coming second when I was finished. 
I ran out of the pool desperately needing my warm towel. Ahh! That feels better. 

The water sports:By Sam

"We're here"said Mrs Millett.The six classes charged into the concrete square with crystal clear water.
When everyone got through the gate we layed our towels on the grassy bank then ate our morning tea. When I layed down I was next to Daniel and Liam. 
At the time the races started, I scattered to the starting line when my name was called out. At the first race (freestyle) I launched myself off the hard brick wall and swam as fast as a torpedo forming. 

In the end I cane 2nd. It was awesome!

The Big Day: By Matthew

I was waiting anxiously in the pool for a clap. I thought it would never go off. "Smack!" a deafening sound hot my ears. My body uncontrollably leaped into action doing an adrenaline forced push off the wall. There was a frothing wake behind me as I sped along through the water.
All I could hear was water rippling and churning. I kicked my arms into full stroke. The water was as blue as sapphires and athletes blood. 
Nearly there... Six more arm strokes, five, four... two...touch down!
I got out of the pool, grabbed my towel and left felling puffed out!
  

Room 20's leaders

This week some of the Room 20 learners have been finding out what it's like to be a leader. 
Every day this week a number of Room 20 students lead UHPS students through conflict resolution as peer mediators. 

On Wednesday, Tyler and her sister Jade taught us all how to play a fantastic new board game. 

On Thursday, Harrison, Joseph, Liam and Mitchell organised and ran a game of Tee Ball on the field at lunchtime for some Year 3 and 4 children. 

Wow! How fantastic to be so good at something that you can teach others how to do it. I wonder what other leaders will emerge next? Is there something you might to lead?

Tio Community Team Building

 On our first day back at school in the Tio community we got together and played several team building games.
It was great to see our Year 2-6 students working together and having fun as they got to know each other and help each other achieve the goals.

Here are some photos from the team building day...
