Final blog post for the year

Room 5, it's been a pleasure. You have made my 2017 awesome! I will miss you all next year, but you are under strict orders to come back and visit me. Thanks for all your hard work and cheery personalities this year. Continue to be Superkids always. Have a fun, happy and safe holiday and a Merry Christmas. Love Miss Robertson


Well done to our new House Leaders for 2018. You guys will be amazing!

Room 5’s Twelve hours of Christmas

Room 5 have been working hard to make Christmas special for somebody else. They have chosen their own projects to focus on and will have 12 hours of class time to work on their ideas. Here they are in their second hour. Just like busy little Elves in Santa's Workshop, they are learning that sometimes giving is better than receiving.

Dragon’s Den

Well done to our finalists for the Dragon's Den. These young innovators came up with some awesome  ideas and prototypes for new creations. They pitched their ideas (very persuasively) to the 5 Dragons. Each of them successfully sold shares in their businesses for a percentage of their companies. Fantastic effort guys. Which one would you invest in?

Gabby pitching her Carpet Insulator - a factory which turns old carpets into insulation to make homes warmer. Very sustainable and eco friendly.
Callum decided to go into business with Mrs Wallace to sell his Multi-Pen. A link that joins your pen and pencil for convenience. These would be very useful in the classroom
Kaydee and Nelia pitching their product 'The All in One Glasses,' perfect for those people with too many pairs of glasses with different lenses.

Oscar and his Blinbix Cube - the alternative rubicks cube for blind people, which features braille on each colour.

Special spot: Well Done Connor, Emily and Tandia


We were very proud of our Special Spot performers today. Connor rocked the hall on his electric guitar and Emily and Tandia performed a beautiful number to Skinny Love, with Tandia singing and Emily dancing. Awesome job Connor and Emily (and Tandia Room 2), it's not easy performing in front of the whole school but you guys made it look effortless.

Rocket Man - please practice for homework



She packed my bags last night pre-flight
Zero hour nine AM
And I'm gonna be high as a kite by then
I miss the earth so much I miss my life
It's lonely out in space
On such a timeless flight
And I think it's gonna be a long long time
'Till touch down brings me round again to find
I'm not the man they think I am at home
Oh no no no I'm a rocket man
Rocket man burning out his fuse up here alone
And I think it's gonna be a long long time
'Till touch down brings me round again to find
I'm not the man they think I am at home
Oh no no no I'm a rocket man
Rocket man burning out his fuse up here alone
Mars ain't the kind of place to go to school
In fact it's cold as hell
And there's no one there to teach us, if we did
And all this science I don't understand
It's just my job five days a week
A rocket man, a rocket man
And I think it's gonna be a long long time
'Till touch down brings me round again to find
I'm not the man they think I am at home
Oh no no no I'm a rocket man
Rocket man burning out his fuse up here alone
And I think it's gonna be a long long time
'Till touch down brings me round again to find
I'm not the man they think I am at home
Oh no no no I'm a rocket man
Rocket man burning out his fuse up here alone
And I think it's gonna be a long long time
And I think it's gonna be a long long time
And I think it's gonna be a long long time
And I think it's gonna be a long long time
And I think it's gonna be a long long time
And I think it's gonna be a long long time
And I think it's gonna be a long long time
And I think it's gonna be a long long time
