Our awesome amazing school


Hey you! Yeah you! Do you know how our school looks like? Well today we will be talking about how our school looks like!!

Well our school has three main buildings which is the 3-6 building, the prep building and the 1/2 building. In the 3-6 building there are twelve classrooms, an office area, a staffroom, an I.C.T room and lastly our libary. In the prep building there are six classrooms and in the 1/2 building there are fourteen rooms and two kitchens.

We also have a science room, two toilet blocks (one for the preps, the ones and the twos and the other for the 3-6s), an oval, an ashphelt (or some schools call it a quadrangle) and a pergola. If you didn't know an oval is like a giant backyard, it has plenty of space so you can play footy and cricket and theres still plenty of space! It has a playground or two a fitness trrack and a sandpit.


Oh wait we all most forgot! We have a canteen, music room and a phiscal educaton room. Our canteen has loads of food in it! Most people go to the canteen when it is a 30 degree (celsius that is!) day. They have all types of food like noodles, icy poles, chips, hotdogs, pies and jjs. Our music room has loads of musical instuments like rhythm sticks, drums, ukelaele and many more! Our phys ed room can fit in all of our school!! It also holds all of our sporting equipment in it.


If you were going to our school what would your favourite area be?
 
See ya soon!!

Green Girls

Hello, in our school we have green girls.

If you don't know  what green girls are well they are kind of like a JSC but they  do more than the JSC do in our opinion. There are a whole bunch of things green girls do like they take a whole bunch of meetings. They take it seriously,they clean up the school then there can be a clean spot or even better a whole school. They help others, they also ask people to help clean upthe school when they need help and so are school can  be healthy.The green girls got their badges on Friday so people know who the green girls are ol.The green girls are in each grade in the grade 5/6 area, which is awesome.We got 2 green girls in our amazing class WOW. The leader of the green girls is Mr Cox, he is amazing. The green girls badges are green with white writing with  a tree with leaves on it.

These are some of the dot points we came up with why we love are green girls :
  • green girls save enviroment
  • green girls help others
  • green girls recycle
  • they are nice to everyone
  • they are cooperative
Everybody knows that green girls save the school from getting poluted by all the rubbish. Do you want to here a seceret? Well here it goes anyway, one day I went to this place and my friends and me  went to this school and it was the dirteist school we had  ever seen in our lives it was so messy my friends and I said it was the worst school some of us said that it was so horrid that a cow looked better then that school, but then I said, " Do they have a green girls"? and one of my friend said, "No they do not have any green girls in their school.'' I said, "Let's go in and get them a clean school," and they said, ''How are we going to do that?" Then I said, ''Lets get them green girls.'' Then a few years later the school was clean by the green girls cleaning up the place. See this is how green girls save the enviroment.

Green girls help others by telling people to clean up the school because we don't want our school to be dirty. If you want green girls to help you with cleaning up the school you should ask them to help you or they should ask you if you need help. I will tell you something here it goes, once there was no green girls at our school and then we got green girls in our school. We have a "bin it" once a month, during which the green girls hand out stickers and if you do a great job of cleaning you get a trash pack from the green girls.You only get them if you pick up two bags or more of rubbish. The green girls help the plants by telling students to get out of the garden. They help the school by emptying out the compost bin, the paper bin and the rubbish bin. Also they take ideas from the students and bring them to the meetings and try to make them come true.

Do you like green girls? Do you have green girls in your school?

If you do who are they? If you do how many do you have?

WOW!!! Exotic Stick Buddies!!!

Hi!! 

This is Gazel and Harmonii speaking! I hope you guys missed us! Did you know that we just got stick buddies yesterday? They are spectacular!!








When I took them home one of them turned green and my mum got freaked out! I thought it was soo weird. Do you want to know a interesting fact about stick buddies? Surely you do and that's what we assumed.When they sleep they turn they're head all the way around and here's something grotesque: when they eat little wriggly worm things come out of they're mouthes and grab eucalyptus leaves and eat them.

They also do wobbly dances that are hilarous! You should see them when you pick them up. They just won't come off your hands. One of them does impressive wobbly dances all the time and one just disgracefully lazes about under a leaf. They can camouflage in their enviroment to avoid danger. That's why one of them turned green! When they are upside down it means they are very comfortable.

When you take them home you have to spray their eucalyptus leaves with water because they drink water using the leaves otherwise they'll become dehydrated. You also have to change their leaves about every week otherwise the leaves become old and wrinkly. The way we keep the moisture in the leaves is we have a tub of water in the tank. =)

That's all for now,
Gazel and Harmoni out!

What do you think we should name our stick buddies?

What do you think we should write about next?

Comment down below but remember it has to be about school! ^_^

Interschool sports :)

On Friday the 1st of March Melton West Primary School participated in interschool sport. The sports were bat tennis, cricket and volleyball.We drove to Coburn Primary to play interschool sport. We left straight after snack to go to Coburn. Everyone played amazingly and showed great sportsmanship to our opponents.

The score for cricket was melton 62/4 Coburn 41/8 the cricket were very thrilled with their win, their first game and were celebrating on the bus. On the other hand coburn primary did a exceptional job and showed a lot of sportsmanship. WELL DONE Coburn and Melton West Primary School.

Melton west Primary school also went down to Coburn to play volleyball . volleyball was 20-20 the boys and girls did extraordinary job and the nolleyball was 20-12. Melton west won but Coburn did an excellent job and a lot of sportsmanship.

Bat tennis was also a draw but both teams showed excellent play and fantastic sportsmanship. Both teams couldn't believe that it was a draw and Melton West were saying how they could improve next time and win against Coburn if we play them again.

Overall Melton West was extremely excited with their performance. So were the teachers. WELL DONE MELTON! Who do you want to win the lightning premiership in all interschool sports?

5/6K's Persuasive Week

On the 5th of March 5/6K started their free choice persuasive texts. We have chosen this because we really enjoy experimenting with these type of texts.We all enjoy exploring persuasive and hope that you will enjoy our persuasive texts, we will be blogging about the finished persuasive texts next post and they will be awesome.

Some people have produced some fantastic writing. I love doing persuasive texts and also they are very interesting to write about because you are trying to convince someone to think about something in a different manner in which they first thought.

Persuasive texts are one of my favourite texts to do because, you get to speak your mind and sometimes its good to speak your mind. For example, if you are trying to persuade that footy is better than cricket (which it is) then you need to know how to write a persuasive text and use it well.

Someone like me, I could persuade you that footy is better than soccer like that. Its easier to write about something that your passionate about than something that you know nothing about like I would write about Minecraft (Kobe) than write about something I don't know anything about like soccer.

Do you like writing persuasive texts?

If you had to choose between persuasive texts and procedural texts what would it be?

Sincerly Kobe and Brayden
