Week 9, Term 2

We have had some new students to Victory visiting our class lately and this week we welcomed Jesse into Room 5. He has already settled in really well and is making friends fast. Be sure to say hello if you see him around. Welcome Jesse!


This Thursday we were excited to hear about a new building being moved onto our school grounds. We were able to go out and watch the procedure which we all found very interesting. There was a big crane, a huge truck and the building was balanced on a special trailer.




To make matters even more exciting, the truck got a bit stuck in some soft mud and there was lots of 'tooing and froing' as it tried to get through. In the end, it had to find another solution to the problem. Lucky the drivers had could problem solving skills! We went back to the classroom with lots of ideas for our story for the day and with a lot to think about for maths. For instance, how will the driver know how heavy the building was? And how high will the crane have to go to lift it properly? Questions, questions......

Congratulations to Lexus for receiving Pupil of the Week this week. Lexus is always such a helpful member of our class. You are always contributing and thinking of others. Well done, Lexus!
