On Thursday the 24th of October the Year 2’s enjoyed a camp experience day at school. There were so many fun activities! We started with a walk around Lakewood Reserve, then made some damper, played frisbee golf and lots of other games! There was some orienteering and a MASSIVE water fight. Ended with roasting some marshmallow before heading home. Whew, what a day!
On Wednesday the 16th of October two teams from year 4 went to the State Basketball Stadium to represent Holy Trinity at the Regional Hoop Time Competition.
Our team (the Tigers) played played 4 pool games where we won 3 games and lost 1 by just one point. Our other HT team (the Titans) won 2 games and lost 2 in their pool. Both teams played well enough in their pool games to make it to the finals.
In the qualifying finals the Tigers had a really tight game. The game went into overtime and one free throw with just 15 seconds to go sealed the game for the other team in a devastating way for the HT Tigers as they just lost. In the other final the Titans also played really well but unfortunately lost by a bigger margin.
Overall, both teams played really well representing HT but ultimately got knocked out. Hopefully they will be back next year.
On Wednesday the 16th of October all the students in Year 3 and 4 went to Eastern Lions oval on Lewis Road to participate in the Woolworths Cricket Blast day. Before we competed Mrs. Harrison had already put us into teams and we had been practising at school with cricket players who were running a clinic during PE sessions.
During the day we began with everyone participating in a cricket clinic where we practised the main skills of fielding, batting and bowling. After this we competed against other schools in a game. Overall each team played 3 games.
My favourite part of the day was after every game where we got to use the Woolworths smoothie maker.
Overall, the 3/4 Cricket Blast was a really fun day.
On Friday the 11th of October the Year 4 girls were lucky enough to go to Avila College to experience what it would be like to be a student at high school.
When we arrived we all went into a hall and celebrated a prayer together.
During our day we went to the science lab, library, gym, assembly and the Aghort Centre. We also saw the aerobics team perform that went away to the nationals in Queensland and won a bronze medal and they were really cool. I also really liked the rock band performing and the singers when they sang Sucker by the Jonas Brothers.
Overall, it was a really good day and lots of the students are looking forward to going to secondary school.
Here are a few photos from the day……….
