Inquiry- Then and Now
Today we had a visit from Hamish as part of our inquiry unit - Then and Now. He brought in lots of old things for us to look at and he talked about how things have changed over time. We were able to ask our own questions about how life was back in the olden days. Some of the things we found out about will be very helpful for our Oral Presentations coming up in a couple of weeks. It was so cool to see all the awesome items Hamish brought with him. We found this very interesting and we learnt heaps. It was great to have Hamish here, thanks heaps for coming!

Touch
Today we were also lucky to receive another visit from Grant Milne who came to teach us some touch. First we warmed up with a couple of games of shark tag. We had to work on our sidestepping, acceleration and defending. We could then take these skills into a game of touch. It was girls vs boys so was an interesting game. Everyone had a great time and improved their touch skills. These will come in handy for those students who are playing touch this year.
Thanks for coming Grant, we really enjoyed it.
