The day of the Fool’s Regatta raft race finally arrived and each team eagerly met at the beach with their raft to make their final preparations. As well as Fastest Raft, prizes were being awarded for Best Design and Best Spirit.
For the “Flame ‘n’ Go’s” team, tensions were running extremely high as they had not had the opportunity to test their boat in the water! Both other teams had completed their water trials earlier that week and were confident that they would float. It would all be down to race technique and speed across the water.
The race itself was extremely exciting and closely contested from start to finish. Watch the video above to see the outcome! Also, see a slideshow of some superb photos of the day with some fantastic close-ups of the raft race.
A big thank you to the team mentors for coaching and guiding the teams through the process, sourcing materials, and their much needed technical support. Reported by Mrs. Stefanie.
WIV 4, our local TV station, also made this report on the event.

Six room poems began with students writing a draft on a paper divided into six sections or rooms. In the first room, the students described a strong image of something that they had seen outside in nature. In the second room, they described light and colours associated with their image and in the third room sounds they might have heard. The fourth room was for any questions about their image, the fifth room for writing feelings and the sixth room for repeating words. In the final draft, the students could use any or all the rooms to create a poem. Here are two examples of the stunning six room poems written by the grade 6/7 class.
Our Grade 3 class visited Cheshire Hall today. Cheshire Hall is a 200 year old Cotton Plantation. It is a historic site and the ruins are looked after by the National Trust. The Grade 3’s have been studying the cotton industry as part of their TCI Social Studies curriculum and visiting the site really brought the topic alive.
