Mid-Richmond AthleticsLast Thursday was a very successful day for Woodburn PS at the Mid Richmond Athletics Carnival. Although there was some

rain and drizzle about, our students gave it their all and we had some impressive results. A huge congratulations to Luke Stewart (Senior Boys) and Oscar Healy (11yrs Boys) who were the Age Champions from the carnival! A fantastic effort in a tough field of competitors.

Well done to all those that made it on and thank you to everyone that participated on the day. Mrs J was very impressed by the level of support our students had for each other and the behaviour was commendable.

I’d also like to thank Mr and Mrs Fields from Evans River for their organisation and preparation and also to the teachers that helped run the day.

Attention Super Spellers! Have you got your spell on yet? Remember, the first stages of the spelling bee will start buzzing next week (Week 2), with Stage Two and Stage Three competing in inter-stage competitions to reveal the top spellers. At this level, eight champions from each stage will move onto the next level of the competition … the stage finals, to be held on Friday 9 August (Week 3) at 9:45am in the school hall. Two winners from each stage will then proceed to the next level.

Spelling lists were distributed to all interested students mid-last term … I know a few who have been practising their words avidly … have you?

GET YOUR SPELL ON!!

This week we have been working with our 3D printer and the Bloxels STEM kit. Bloxels allows students to create their very own video game by designing straight onto a game board with small colourful cubes. We then used the Ipad app ‘Bloxels Edu’ to edit and build backgrounds, characters and artwork.
