Opera at Osborne

We watched an opera of Cinderella in the gym. The actors were Oliver who was the step brother, John who was the neighbour and the Prince, Rebecca who was the stepsister and Michelle who was Cinderella. It was different from the normal one. The step brother was pretending to be a girl when they went to the ball. The step sister and brother both wanted to marry the Prince but a boy can't marry a boy! Oliver spun John around while Michelle could sing really long notes and sing really loud notes! I quite liked it! by Taylor

Another highlight this week at Osborne was the instrumental concert where Jett, Leilani and Sebastian from our class performed with great skill and confidence.

2D has also been working hard on writing persuasively. Our latest topic was Outdoor games are better than indoor games. Here are some samples of well written arguments:

Indoor games are much better than outdoor games, here's why. You can play  video games but you can't play them outside or the sun will get in your way. by Charlie

 Outdoor games are much much better than indoor games. Firstly I like outdoor games because you can play on equipment and indoor games are bad for you because if you play them for 2 hours or more you will feel sick and get blind. by Mckenzie 

You won't get fit if you want to play video games all day long. And you will probably be lazy when you grow up. by Ryan

Enjoy the final week of term 3 everyone. Remember to keep reading each night and use Mathletics to practice your maths.

We hope everyone had a happy father's day yesterday. Here are some examples of the excellent origami shirts that we made for fathers day.

This week during literacy rotations, some groups practised and then performed a readers theatre play. Students really enjoyed performing and experimenting with different voices. Liam sounded quite scary being the troll while Lachlan was convincing in his role as the little goat!

Yesterday I did a play called The Brave Little Tailor. I was the reader and the First King's Man. It was about a tailor that killed seven flies in one blow. He thought he was the strongest man in the universe! by Harper

In science this week we predicted and observed the reaction of mixing things together. We mixed venegar and bi-carb soda to make a mini eruption and we also made our own lemonade! Here is McKenzie's report on one of the experiments:

This week we have an Opera Australia performance of Cinderalla to look forward to as well as a focus on money in Maths. Don't forget Bring a Bloke for Breakfast is on this Thursday.
