Whale Watching Coffs Harbour

2010-10-28T15:17:00.000-07:00

Last Friday, 22nd of October, Year 5 and Ben went whale watching at Coffs

Harbour with YEC (Youth Environmental council) it was amazing and everyone loved it.

When we got there the lady was telling us some stuff about Humpback Whales, Then we walked onto the boat put our bags down and went up stairs then we took off it was about five minutes until we saw two enormous amazing Humpback Whales leaping out of the water.

As the water rippled slowly past the boat there was nothing to be seen then a big spout of water shot out like lava from a volcano there black and white tail flapping on the clear blue water.

Then we saw a calf flying out of the water showing off.

On the last day of Term 1, we had an easter hat parade. We made our easter hats out of cardboard and crepe paper. Most of our parents came and we had a barbeque and we ate steak sandwiches and sausages on damper buns. The parents and students played T-ball and Harry's team won. We were given clues for a chocolate easter egg hunt.

Peer Support means working together without fighting and leadership.

We split up into two groups, the Hernani Hawks and the Turbo Tigers. Each group is making a play about bullying to be performed at our end of term assembly.

The "Hernani Hawks" play is about some people who come to the school and they are very bossy.

the "Turbo Tigers" play is about big kid bullies trying to get the little kids lunch money.
