Sports Update

Recently Lara Primary School had one week of sporting events. The first event was the grand final for the lunchtime basketball. Hume vs Hovell. It was a really tough game, but hovel came out on top.

The second event was Winter Lightning Premiership at Geelong Grammar Collage. There were 5 events. We competed in AFL, Soccer, T-ball, Volley stars and Netball. Everyone tried their best and did an amazing job.

The very last event was Athletics. Everyone had a great day. Bass came out victorious. Everyone also tried their best again.

Thanks to Miss Brenan for making these days possible. It was a great week!!!

Geelong College Challenge

On Tuesday 24th of June, 4 students from Lara went to Geelong College to compete in a various number of challenges for the GEELONG COLLEGE CHALLENGE. The team consisted of Amy, Jack, Josh and Jade. They called themselves the AJ's!.

The challenges consisted of an art, maths, technology and major problem challenge!
They also did a biathlon! Phew! Josh and Jade did a run, Jack did boogie boarding and Amy did swimming!
Our students did really well in each challenge, but they did especially well in art and technology in which they got a 3rd in each!
The whole day was based on reaching for the stars! Students made a rocket for art and for the major problem.  The only difference was that for the major problem it actually had to fly! Each rocket had to try and stay in the air for as long as possible.
Overall the day was AMAZING!!!!  Well done to our competitors and Miss Brennan for helping us on the day :)

 

Debating Success!

On Thursday the 19th of June, the debating team headed down to Westbourne Grammar. A lot of people got stuck in the after school traffic jam, but everyone got there eventually. Our school has two 2 teams- the A team and B team. The B team consists of Emily, Jack, Jade G, Logan and Charlie.  The A team consists of Alira, Amy, Seb, Annie and Jade.
Well done to both teams who won the debate on the topic of "Sharks should be culled".
A SUPER well done to Seb and Jack, who both were awarded best speaker!

Onesies, Twosies and more!

On Tuesday the 3rd of June, our Junior School Council reps organised a successful PJ day for our whole school to participate!  Money raised was donated to the Salvation Army, who are going to use it for supplying blankets for the homeless.
We were given the opportunity to purchase a BIG M and a donut on the day which was delicious!
When roaming our school, there were students in onesies, twosies, ugg boots, slippers, dressing gowns and boxers! (Some kids even had bed hair!!)
Overall, it was the most comfiest day at school of the year!

Let's learn about emus!

As 'citizen scientists', HLG spent some part of their week at Serendip Sanctuary creating informative documentaries on our native animal - the emu!  What an interesting creature!  Our movies were made with IMovie on our new IPads and will be on display during the student learning conferences.  For now, here's a sneak peak of some finished products!
