Bring your own device seminar

Have you heard that we are introducing optional BYOD (bring your own device) across the whole school in 2013?  Come along to this CIA Seminar to hear more about it, and to have all of your questions answered.  We will have technical experts there (from Ideal Computing and from Vodafone) as well as details on specials from local suppliers.  There will be two seminars on Tuesday 13 November, one at 7.45am and the other at 7.00pm.

Inquiry Taking Action

 This term we are learning about DIY Rescue. Some of us did a bake sale to raise money for important buildings which got damaged in the earthquake.
Some people did a bake sale which was lots of fun. One positive thing was that we raised more than we thought.  Thanks to the Cathedral now I love cooking!  Now here is a list of how much all of the other people raised...  

Alex, Grace and Lily (me)$79.20 and we are saving the Cathedral.
Stella, Zoe, Bree and Alyssa $81.50 and they are saving Q.EII.
Brooke, Hamish, Petrea, Trinity and Annie $60.00 and they are using it for a lovely garden.
Brianna $105.10 and she wants to see a Kaiapoi swimming complex.
Dylan, Lachie, Jayden, Mitchell and Daniel $90.00 - they want a bmx track in Kaiapoi.
Kyle P, Kyle S and Wills $100.20 - they want to see a swimming complex.

Athletics

                                                   Athletics 

Have  you  done  Athletics before? At  Clarkville School we practice Athletics.  When  we  do Athletics, we  practice  high  jump, long jump, discus, shot put, sprints  and distance running. There  are  groups  of   small  and big  kids  and that's the group  you're in. Everybody gets a turn at each station.

Practising for Athletics

This week we have been training for amazing athletics day. There is a seven year old group and and an eight - nine year old group. We have been practising sprinting for long jump and sprints and stretches for the rest. For the eight year olds the day Ms Brocket thought that Chris was right when  he said "Thursday this week" we were meant to practise. But he meant next week and we had come back to class imimediately! What a tiring day and that was not all we had to run around the field twice!
