Pink Day

We had a Pink Shirt Day at Rosebank School to show our support for the Anti bullying message.  Lots of children and teachers wore pink to show that we think bullying is not OK and we do not want bullies in our school.  During the assembly Mrs Bell told us the story how Pink Shirt Day started in a school in Canada.  Now Pink Shirt Day is celebrated worldwide to raise awareness and help stop bullying in schools.

Room 28 was given a mini greenhouse  with a seed tray.  We have decided to experiment using this mini greenhouse to sow leek seeds and see how fast will it germinate than compared to sowing seeds outdoors.

Week 1 Thursday 6 May
Here is our mini greenhouse.

Week 2 Wednesday 14 May
When we checked our mini greenhouse this morning we spotted a tiny sprout.  See if you can spot the sprout.

keep checking this post for weekly updates!

Wednesday 21 May
Our leek sprouts  have grown a lot bigger since our last post. The tallest sprout is about 11cm long.  we have about 80% of the seeds sprouted.  During the day time we left the tray out in the sun with the cover over it so it generates more heat.

Monday 26 May
Our leeks have grown a lot since our last update.  The leek seedling are looking very healthy.  We watered it this morning.  We reckon that the seedling are ready to be transplanted into our school garden by the end of next week.

This is a working progress by the students.

week 6 Thursday 12 June

We decided it was time to start transplanting our leek seedlings in to our school garden.  We thought it might be best to plant it in the morning because the weather forecast was rain in the afternoon.  Why plant before rain as the rain settles the seedlings right in.

  
This is just before the transplanting process.

These leeks are officially part of our Rosebank School Garden

 

 Room 28 members are helping to plant our leeks!

Now its ready to water.

Dog safety with Diana and Lincoln (the dog)

On Wednesday afternoon Room 28 went to the hall for the dog safety show. The special instructor was Diana and her dog Lincoln.  Diana taught us how to be safe around dogs and how to greet a dog when you are out and about.

We learned that you always:

• Ask the owner before you touch a dog-NO OWNER, NO TOUCHING!
• Make your hand into a rock to allow the dog to sniff you
• Touch the dog on the chin and chest
• Stand like a tree if you feel scared of a dog-NEVER RUN AWAY!
• Make yourself into a rock and cover your ears with a fist if you get knocked over by a dog 

This is Lincoln

Diana got Lincoln when he was seven weeks old.

How to get to school from my house every morning

Walking to school is a routine for me.  Back and forth 5 days a week. I am the only child that walks by myself.  The directions are easy and simple.   Firstly I walk down my drive way shaped like a hill.  It takes about 15 seconds.  Then I turn left and keep walking straight.  You keep on going straight.  This is the time when you walk on the concrete and it turns to a curve, keep on waking. When you get to the end of Holly Street, turn left and you will arrive at the Eastdale Reserve. You walk on the concrete leading got the school. The field is right there and that’s my school

Tresardi

My house is not far from school so I walk every day.  I come out of my drive way and turn left and go straight past the dairy then past the take way shop then I come up to the crossing that goes straight .

I wait less than 2 minutes then I come up to the crossing that turns left to Eastdale Reserve then I walk straight to school.

Rahil

I walk to school every day.  I sometimes may walk with my friends.  It takes me approximately three minutes to get to school.  Here are my directions to get to school. First of all you go out of my terribly long driveway. Then turn right, walk straight for about two minutes. Then you should reach the intersection of Rosebank School. Cross the intersection and then turn right into Rosebank School.

Every day I walk to school. I mostly walk to school with my sister.  It takes us at least 10 minutes to walk from home to school.  These are the directions from my house to school. You go out the driveway of my house turn left and start walking straight until you get to the road.  Than cross the road and keep walking straight until you get out of Orchard Street. Later when you’re out of Orchard Street this time turn right and keep walking straight. Finally on your way on the left side there is a Rosebank school sign and also Rosebank School road patrol students on the traffic light.

Every single day I walk to school by myself. It takes me about 10 to 15 minutes to get to school. First I go out the gate of my house then turn right and keep walking until you get to the corner of the street.  Then I turn right again and keep going until you pass in front of collage. So when you pass collage you keep walking until you stop in front of Rosebank dairy on the other side of the road .Then you turn right keep going straight until you reach Rosebank School crossing lights. But before you reach Rosebank School you have to go past the bus stop then you’re finally there.

Every day I walk to school with my sister.  Sometimes go by myself.  This is the way you go. Firstly you walk from the driveway onto the footpath then keep walking until you reach the top of the road were you will find a cemetery don’t cross it but walk beside it on the pathway.  Walk all the all the way until you find a crossing.  Finally cross the road and you will be at Rosebank School.

Every day I walk to school with my two little brothers to school. Here are the directions from my home to school

First I go right then I go straight then I turn right again and then go straight again then go straight past the ally way. The ally way is kind of long but I don’t think it’s that long. After that I go right again. When you go right you’ll see the light then cross the lights and you made it to Rosebank.

Sometimes I travel by car and the other times I walk. I will tell you how to walk from my house to school. I walk to school with my mum and brother, it takes around 7 minutes. Firstly you walk down the drive way then you turn right onto the foot path.  Now you walk straight up the road. Before you reach the 3^rd speed bump you cross the road onto Eastdale Reserve and walk across Eastdale Reserve until you reach Rosebank school.

Dallas

Every day I go to school in a car because I wake up late.  The directions from my house to school is that you need to reverse out of the drive way. Then go up the hill and then turn right and go straight. Then there will be a curve and follow it and then keep going straight until you see a dairy. Then turn right and that’s how you get to school from my house to school.
