Topsy Turvy Tuesday

Topsy Turvy Tuesday was crazy!
Everybody came to school in wacky outfits and hair dos!


Can you remember.....

Who had a bird nest in their hair?
Who wore a pair of underpants on their head?
Who wore all their clothes inside out?
Who wore odd socks and red glasses?
Who had spiky yellow hair?
Which boy wore a skirt?
Who had their birthday on Topsy Turvy Tuesday?

Pirate Day

Ahoy there me hearties! 
Check out our cool pirate costumes!


We went on a big treasure hunt around the school.

We had to read all the clues to find the treasure.


We went:
*through the jungle
*across the swamp
*into the dark cave
*through the quick sand
*into the forest
*through the hot desert
*across the river
*up the mountain
*to Captain Black Jack's treasure chest
....where we found the treasure!!!

Have a look at our slide show of our treasure hunt. 

Can you see Captain Black Jack?
Do you know who is Captain Black Jack?

We all drew our own treasure map to show where we went on our treasure hunt and where we found the treasure.

On Friday we had the fun run at school. I was running really fast. I had mud all the way up to the back of my head. I was running so fast and I fell down in the mud. I came third place in the fun run. But Finn won it for me! After the fun run I was tired but pleased with myself.

On Friday we went down to the field. We had to wait for Mrs Hurley to bang the clappers. We ran to the tent as fast we  could. I ran and ran and ran around the cones and another cone. All the parents cheered for me and I ran under the tent. I felt excited and pleased with myself because I nearly bet Olivia.
