YES, HOLIDAYS ARE FUN!

I do hope you are all enjoying your holidays. Have you been watching the action at Wimbledon or keeping up with the World Cup in South Africa? I guess it wouldn't be so bad that Australia lost to Germany if they go on to win the whole competition. I am looking forward to returning to school and having a look at the footage Mrs P took of your performance at the final assembly. Everyone I have spoken to said it looked fantastic which certainly made me very happy! :)

THANK YOU so much for the beautiful bunch of flowers and the card that I received just after coming home from hospital. That was very kind and much appreciated.

I have included a couple of sites (at the side) you may want to have a look at....but only if you feel like THINKING!!!!!

Enjoy the rest of your holidays!

I'M BACK!!

I have finally finished writing reports...they'll be going home next week. So here we go again!

Can you find answers to these questions about the upcoming World Cup?

Which two countries will compete in the first game of the Cup?

Can you name at least six of Australia's players?

Can you name 4 of the host cities?

Who is Australia's main goal keeper?

Which teams make up Group D?

Which country won the last World Cup and where was it held?

How many of the competing countries come from Europe? How many from South America?

Here are some puzzles for you to solve:

How can you throw a ball as hard as you can and have it come back to you, even if it doesn't bounce off anything? There is nothing attached to it and no-one else catches or throws it back to you.

Your last good ping-pong ball fell down a narrow metal pipe embedded in concrete 30cm deep. How can you get it out undamaged, if all the tools you have are your tabletennis bat, your shoe laces and your plasic water bottle, which does not fit into the pipe?

Think! Think! Think!

:) Mrs C

YIKES...I'M SORRY!!

Yes, Billy, you are meant to keep me on my toes so I keep up posts on our blog but I'm afraid that over the next two weeks I'm not going to be able to do this. Why? Because I'm really busy each night writing your reports and don't really have any spare time to do fun things like jazzing up our blog. So, sorry, just wait till the week after next and I'll really get stuck into it again.

By the way, the picture is of me!!!

I think it will probably go on to be shown at next year's Academy Awards...and the cinematography...what can I say!! We even know when the ACTION will occur!! Let your parents know that we will start showing our movie in our classroom at exactly 7:30pm. Be there!!
