Our Sunsmart School

What do you see, hear or feel in a sunsmart school?  We thought about this question and made a Y-chart on the wall to share our ideas.

We would see - trees, verandahs and shade sails for shade, uniforms that protect our skin (collars and buttons) and hats for our heads.
We would hear - people saying things that helped us be sunsmart: "Please put on your hat" "Please play in the shade" "Please put some sunblock on" and "Please pit some sunglasses on".
We would feel - hats on our heads, sunblock on our skin and maybe sunglasses on our faces.

More of our acrostic poems

Our acrostic poems using our names look so colourful hanging up in the classroom.  Here are a couple more to share with you:

Awesome work, girls!

Hockey action

Here is a video of some Room 10 players in action in our last week of hockey coaching.  We have had so much fun and our skills are getting better all the time!

Sunsmart hats!

We have been learning about being 'sunsmart' - protecting ourselves from God's powerful sun.  We thought of lots of ideas for sun hats...and then made them!  Of course we had to decorate them as creatively as we could...

Edrei's hat has amazing shades of blue.  It really  makes you feel like you are looking at the sky on a beautiful summer's day!

Richard loves lions...so he added one to his hat!  Luckily it has its own meat and a bone to eat so we don' t have to be afraid...

What is a 'good' king?

More questions!  We have been thinking really hard about the kings in the Bible - Saul, David, Solomon and others.  We tried to brainstorm ideas about ones who are a good example of what a king should be like.  Here are our ideas:

God is Sovereign - new ideas

At the start of the year we thought about what the word 'sovereign' meant.  We only had a few ideas but as we have talked about it and looked at people in the Bible we have come up with a few more things to share. Sovereign could also mean:

• ruler
• queen
• leader
• Lord of all lords
• the boss
• someone who signs things (like new rules or laws) because they are in charge
