White Elephant Stall
WOWZA! Our White Elephant stall was such a huge success today! Well done to all the 3/4 students for their super sales work, as well as their fantastic display of all the products. A massive thank you to everyone who donated unwanted treasures as well as all our lucky customers who picked up a bargain or two (or more!).

HANGING MOSS BALLS
We are very excited to announce that the 3/4 Community will be hosting a ‘Hanging Moss Ball Workshop’ and we would love for you to help us in this experience. We will be making Moss Balls as a celebration of our Inquiry unit, focused on Sustainability.
The plants and all of the materials needed for this activity will be provided by the class teachers, they will of course also be there to run the workshops. Students will be able to take their own Moss Ball home which will last a lifetime, if watered and cared for properly. The 3/4 teachers thought this would be an appropriate end of year present for us as for they have been teaching us about the issue of over consumption in our western world.
We look forward to seeing you there and if not we look forward to bringing home the end product!

3/4C Debate!
Today members of 3/4C participated in a class debate! Groups worked together to create well informed and very persuasive arguments on the topic of Wind Farms.
Students for wind farms argued how sustainable and environmentally friendly they are when creating electricity. Sean's group also said that they make a hill look pretty jazzy!
The against side argued that wind turbines can be destructive to migrating birds who could fly into them! Maia used lots of emotive language and we were all convinced. Then Michael's group finished off by giving us lots of facts about more sustainable ways to create energy like geothermal power.
In the end most people agreed that the negative side were more convincing. Well done to all!
