5CW have seen great successes over the past three weeks. Students can now easily put together a 100-piece jigsaw puzzle and are looking forward to some that are more difficult next term. Zeak and Zaiha show some of the amazing jigsaws that have been mastered.

On Friday 16^th June 5CW joined their buddy class, Prep/1 Clinton, for some Friday afternoon fun.  Both classes joined Bluey in some simple dance moves then up the ante and tried to follow the moves to the Ghost Busters song.

Students had an opportunity to be a little creative with playdough and compete in the Lego challenge. Some creative students used playdough to make life like animals like the cat made by Maddison. 

The Lego challenge was to see who could make the longest length of Lego that could be lifted by Mrs Crossin without breaking. Sadiq, Adam, Dakota and Zaiha won the challenge creating a length over 2 metres – amazing.

5CW have started to learn how to play chess. Chess is a great game that can help improve memory, planning and problem solving. So far there are two contenders to become the 5CW chess champion – Oliver and Lisa. One thing is for sure, Mrs Crossin won’t be chess champion as she was whooped by Oliver in record time.

On Friday 23rd June the year 5 and 6 classes planned to go on the new Heritage Walk created by the Rotary Club of Devonport South East. Unfortunately, with the high chance of rain, the walk was replaced with an informative presentation given by John Stuart sharing the different aspects of East Devonport including where boats used to moor, the location of the first animal pound, number of shipwrecks off our shores and why East Devonport did not become Devonport’s city centre. After the presentation, students enjoyed a BBQ provided and cooked by the lovely volunteers of the Rotary Club of Devonport South East.
