Well done kids!

House Day

On Friday 27 June, we had House Day.  We had a session of Jump Jam in the hall, then we split into house groups.  In room 13 a group of Blake children had a lot of fun completing a construction challenge.  We had 4 pieces of card, 2m of selotape, scissors, pencils and rulers.  We had to build the highest free standing tower possible.  We had to work as a team.

This week's Winners!

Story

Two of our boys, EW and AA did a story at school and the computer crashed!

AA went home and was so motivated, he did it again. Well done!

Here it is...

Leadership training

Charney from World Vision came to school and we did a Leadership workshop with her...

Have a look at our video all about what we did.

It was a great session,  thanks Charney.

WELL DONE KIDS!

HAPPY HOUR AT BDS

Twice each term we are rewarded for good behaviour with Happy Hour.

We are allowed to bring toys and games from home and we play with our friends for an hour.

Some of our boys really enjoyed going outside and playing soccer with the older kids.

One of our favourite things was SK's magic, flying butterfly.

TV was disappointed that he couldn't play on his scooter, but he had fun playing with his new friends instead.

Mrs McIntosh really enjoyed playing Jenga!

It was such a fun afternoon!

We can't wait for the next one...

Well done guys!

What have we been talking about?

Our Inquiry is 'To lead or to follow?'

 We have compared and contrasted our House Leaders to our Principal, Mr T.

They all have responsible jobs at BDS and we discussed what  may happen if Mr T wasn't here...

The best idea was that we would be stuck in our classrooms forever, as the office ladies might get lazy and wouldn't ring the bell to let us out!

And who would make the big decisions?

What do you think - what if the Principal decided to stay in bed?

Here is what Kenn Nesbitt has to say on the subject - we love his poems!

I'm staying home from school today. I'd rather be in bed pretending that I have a pain that's pounding in my head. I'll say I have a stomach ache. I'll claim I've got the flu. I'll shiver like I'm cold and hold my breath until I'm blue. I'll fake a cough. I'll fake a sneeze. I'll say my throat is sore. If necessary I can throw a tantrum on the floor. I'm sure I'll get away with it. Of that, there's little doubt. But, even so, I really hope my students don't find out. --Kenn Nesbitt
