For the last few months Winton School has been waiting for there brand new basketball court, now it is ready and everyone has been playing on it. Kids from the ages 7 and up have enjoyed having a basket ball court here, it's good for basketball coaches and for practices for the year 7 and 8 teams, some people still use the other basketball hoops on the tennis court.

Spanish

Hola senora, senor and senorita! Over last few weeks we have been learning a little bit of Spanish. So far we have learnt...

• The Spanish alphabet and the pronunciation of the alphabet
• Some of the Spanish cognates
• Where in the world they speak Spanish
• How they greet each other 

 These are only a few of what we are hoping to achieve by the end of this topic. Over the last few weeks we have been creating a Spanish alphabet frieze. Each person in our class got  a letter of the alphabet and in the frieze they had to include the cognate of that letter, the pronunciation of that letter and the Spanish letter itself. Here are some of the finished letters...

Falling Back Self-Portraits

This week while the Year 7 students were at Technology the Year 6 students got to do some creative Art. The art is called falling back. Firstly we had to look at examples of the type of art on the internet. Secondly we had to trace our feet and hands onto a large piece of paper. We had to choose what we would be falling back into. Some students chose things like falling back into a drain, a sharks mouth, slime and jelly. We used pastels to colour our art .Here are some photos of the students art work.

Money Sense

For topic over the last few weeks we have been learning about money. We have been discussing about what we think money is used for and how money is made. We have also been learning about the history of money and what they used when money wasn't invented. We found out that they used valuable goods such as gold, silver, shells and iron. We have also been making comic life projects about the history of money during our latest topic session. This picture is an example of what we made on tagxedo. But before we got onto tagxedo we wrote down what first popped into our mind and wrote them down. Some of the things that we wrote down we things such as lotto, spending, saving and banks. Then we were allowed to go onto tagexedo and create what ended up looking like this...
