Pets Day

On Tuesday 20th Little River School had Pets Day. Almost everyone brought his or her favourite pet to school. There were lots of animals such as cats, dogs, lambs, horses and many more. There was a book fair where people could buy books. Some animals were dressed up and walked around the ring. There was a dog obstacle course where the owners got prizes for how fast they got their dogs round the course. The miscellaneous pets prize giving was away from the other judging so the other animals wouldn’t scare them or hurt them/attack them.

Inside the community hall, which is adjacent to the school and Little River Domain, held the inside competitions such as the sand saucers, vegetable creations and floral arrangements.

Ancient Greek Pots

We are doing these pots for our ancient Greek expo on the last week of term [Tuesday 18th September 2007]. At first we started off with a draft copy. We had to use at least 1 picture that tells a Greek story about someone and why they were special e.g. Jason the brave young warrior who had to complete three tasks to get the Golden Fleece. We also had to use lots of zigzags, patterns and shapes. After the draft copy was complete we had to draw the outline of a pot on an A3 piece of paper. Then we coloured the pot in with dark crayons like purple, rust, red and orange. Then we painted the pot in thick black paint. After that we used the end of a paintbrush or something like that to scratch the pattern into the black paint. Also if you can, come to the Ancient Greek expo on the 18th September 2007 at 1:45PM!!!

Ancient Greece

For topic in Room 2, we are learning about Ancient Greece. We have been learning how the ancient Greeks lived about 2300 years ago, right now we are doing an enquiry about the ancient Greek lifestyle, when we are finished we will have an Ancient Greek Expo where we will dress up like ancient Greeks and show our work to others. I am researching ancient Greek trade. We have also been learning about Greek gods, some of these gods include Zeus the king of the gods, Hera the queen of the gods, Athena (Athene) goddess of war and wisdom, Hephastus the god of metal working, Ares the god of war, Apollo the god of light, healing and music, Demeter the goddess of harvest, Aphrodite goddess of love and beauty Artemis the goddess of hunting and the moon, Poseidon god of the sea and Hades the god of the under world.
