Oliver and his Rugby Trophy

Today Oliver showed Room 6 his new Rugby Trophy that he got.

He was chosen for the Under 6 Green Team Most Improved Player of the Year.


Oliver plays for Burnside Rugby Club and was very proud.





How do we keep our playground safe?


In Room six we are learning to become Ipad Savvy....

In writing we have been using the Ipads to write Pic Collages about keeping our beautiful playground safe.

First we brainstormed what we thought 'Keeping the Playground Safe' LOOKED LIKE.

Next we went into the playground with the Ipads and took some photos to show this.

Lastly we made a Pic Collage using the photos and adding our own words.

Have a look at what we came up with...



Did you know that there are a lot of steps needed to make a Pic Collage?


 Did you know that Pic Collage is a free downloadable app for both Apple and Android devices?


Adding text to the Pic Collage is easy because there is an automatic spell check to help you.


Well done Room Six. These look awesome and show some great ideas for keeping the playground safe.
