Pink Shirt day at Ross

Today is Pink Shirt day! Almost everyone here is wearing pink or red, even Emma who's least favourite  colour is pink, so she cuts arm holes in a pink trash bag and wore that over her clothes.
Everyone in room fifteen looks so red/pink. Great job everyone for supporting people to stop bullying.

Morning tea Pink shirt day chalk time

Today at Morning tea Emma brought a small box of sidewalk chalk to school, it didn't last long though, lots of Ross students found their way to the box of chalk and Emma let them join in. Soon the ground was flooded with drawings and artwork of the kids. Everyone enjoyed it and soon all the chalk was devoured, I bet this was a happy Morning tea time for all the kids who got a chance to join in. Lets give a great thank you to Emma for letting us do it with her. Check out the pictures below of Ross intermediates young artists. 

Our Terrariums

For Wai Water we made terrariums, in our terrariums a miniature water cycle should occur.
Here is a picture of them:

Chalk Art on Ross Grounds

So I brought a box of chalk to school...

It didn't take long before the Ross pavement was covered in drawings by many different students, it was total fun. I need to bring another box again sometime.
