Super Shiny Super Rugby Trophy

This is certainly not your average cup that you can drink your milo out of.  It's the prized and coveted Super Rugby cup and it came for a visit right here at Hillcrest, along with its custodian Mr Andrew Strawbridge (Assistant Coach).

The senior children waited with eager anticipation to stand next to this gleaming trophy and even get a firm grip on some part of it.  Yipee, Room 9's turn came and although these kind of photo opportunities are rare, some of us managed to get snapped with our eyes closed (good one Mrs Bell)... the glare from the cup was a little too much maybe.

During out special assembly, recognition of achievement was given to our very own boys rugby team and also our girls netball team.  Both teams and their fantastic coaches have done HNS very proud this year!

Whoop Whoop! It's post number one!

Here goes... well it's our first official Room 9 blog post.  How cool is that?!  Check out our first official class photo too!  Spot Mrs Bell - she scaled that web as fast as Spiderman, leaving Room 9 children wide eyed in amazement... well alright, maybe a little exaggeration, but what counts is that Mrs Bell was brave enough to climb to the top!

We are very lucky indeed to have our senior playground all finished and ready to play on.  Mr Peart paid our classroom a visit this morning to help us think about how we can play on our playground safely and responsibly.  We are also encouraged to show caring towards others by not hogging the equipment and letting everyone have an enjoyable experience.  A fantastic reminder just in time for our turn on the playground... and the general consensus is that our playground is AWESOME and that we want to keep enjoying it!
