Outram School's Awesome Pet Day

On friday it was Pet Day.There was heaps of things to do like play on the bouncy castle and buy ice cream and mystery jars.They had some challenges like needle in a haystack where you had to find lollies and coloured sticks.There was pet judging and some people's pets got 4 out of 4 stickers!!Some people got special prizes.There was yummy food like candy floss,burgers and sausages.There was fizzy, juice, tea and coffee.Near the end, the ANZ bank machine started to bust a few moves!! Everyone crowed around him.It poured down and everyone got soaked.YAY!

A touch of magic to start the day!

This morning we started the day with a little bit of magic! We watched El Gregoe and his wife Sue perform a range of magic tricks including disappearing birds, floating tables, Borris the talking dog, a human puppet and very large wands!

El Gregoe came with a very important message - Treat others as you want to be treated!!! Thanks El Gregoe for reminding us how to treat others in such an awesome way!

Henry Letters

On the 15th of September Room 7 wrote some letters to Henry, from Piccadilly Avenue Sunnyside West Coast. We are learning to letter write.He asked us some questions, like what do you like to do when you're not at school? What is your favourite subject? And many other questions. We had to write about what we looked like, what we play at lunch times, and who are our friends then we sent it away.

S.O.S. A night to remember

On Thursday the 27th of August was the year 5-8 Stars On Stage 2011 performance along with loads of other schools. The characters were Hip-Hop aliens,Ballet aliens, Grunge aliens, Planets and best of all the Stars and Comets.We worked for at least 5 weeks but it was absolutely worth it. We couldn't have done it with-out our four lovely helpers Alex with the costumes Mrs Mack and Mrs Tansley and Miss Gilbert who put the show together and a lot of adults.Our favourite show apart from ours was Elm Grove school.The costumes were: hats and glasses for Hip-hop and black suits and signs for planets, furry pants and tops for Grunge,silver silk suits for Ballet and last but not least SPARKLES for the Stars and Comets. We REALLY REALLY ENJOYED it and we're bound to do it again next time. :):) A BIG thanks to all the adults who gave up their time for us :)

S.O.S The Time the Butterflies Took Over.

It was a night to remember the stars shone brighter then ever.We were all very nervous.The butterflies did summersaults, flips and cartwheels.My first steps on the stage were slow, quiet and small.I got to my spot on the stage and slowly took a deep breath. I heard a voice say you can do it.I heard the crowd roar with astonishment of our fabulous costumes.The dance was over and we had our time of fabulous fame.After the curtain dropped it was over.My first time of Stars on Stage.It was amazing.Next time i'm going to be amazing.If it wasn't for the teachers I wouldn't be there .THANKS YOU TEACHERS.#1 BY MADI McArthur Lilly -Anne Adam

Winter Wonder

In the morning of Sunday the snow started to twinkle down. Most people were on the way to a Sunday service. But on Monday we got the heavy cover. School was closed, and some children took an advantage of the snow and played in it.
