Yr 6 Community Leadership Group   

On the 12 February, the Community Group went to a BaptCare aged care facility. When we arrived we were introduced to everyone and we started off by playing a game with them called Snake Eye. The game was played by rolling a dice and the goal of the game was to create the biggest number, but if you rolled a 1 then you would be eliminated and your score would go down to 0. The highest score we got was 30 points! 

We played another game with balloons and a fly swat and we had to keep the balloons in the air the whole time. It was really hard because there were 10 balloons in the middle at once! Everybody was whacking them with their feet and their hands and it looked like chaos! Really we were just laughing and having fun. It was the best, and the people there were so nice and the Senior Citizens at the BaptCare aged facility just made you smile! :)

The next week when we opened the door,the room was filled with music.The aged care facility had a guest and we were just in time for her last song! That same week we were playing charades with the senior citizens we had to think about something we could act out and the clients at the aged care facility had to guess what we were doing.The clients were pretty good at guessing what animals we were acting out. We were filled with joy when we returned from the aged care facility and we could not stop talking about all the things we did at the aged care facility.

Next we played a cup game. Every senior had about 10 cups. Then we paired up with each and every senior. Some even doubled up. Anyway, we had to do lots of challenges building like building pyramids. 

Some we had to close our eyes and build a pyramid using the senior to be our eyes and tell us where to put the cups. It was very fun and we can’t wait to go there next week! 

Also we have been learning about all of our leadership skills and what it is to be a leader! 

We have learned to show leadership,To be kind and to stand by our new school theme for this year. ‘Treat others as you would like to be treated.’

Year 6 Sports and Outdoor Group

Hi this is Ella and Mitch. We are part of the Year 6 leadership team. Currently we are supporting the younger students on the playground by organising games at lunch time. Each Monday the Prep students meet us on the tennis court, on Tuesday we work with the Year 1 students and on Wednesday the Grade 2 students. We hope to give them some great ideas about taking turns and fun games to play with their friends.

We also had lots of fun meeting with all the House teams across the school and prepared War cries for our swimming carnival.
