I Have Been to Hell and Back!


Hell and Back is a mud run obstacle course. It was a 2.5km run.
We had to go through mud pools and carry a log up and down a big hill.
We crawled through rivers and went through bales. At the end we went down a big slide that was covered in mud. 
I enjoyed it a lot and I was very tired.

Sports day 2016

What an amazing sports day we had today. 6th class and Ms Giblin did a fantastic job of organising a brilliant  sports day for the whole school. 6th class have been involved in the Sky Sports Challenge and they have been teaching the whole school orienteering and outdoor activities. They have grown in confidence from their participation in the programme. They organised the jumble sale and colour run also as part of the challenge. Thank you Ms Giblin and 6th class for a wonderful day. 
Thank you to the wonderful parents of Newcastle for organising the barbeque again this year. It is the highlight of the school calendar and we all really enjoyed the burgers, hot dogs and drinks provided by the parents. Thank you very much. Thank you to all the parents who came along today.
