Power Hour


Every Tuesday and Thursday afternoon our studio has 'Power Hour'. At the beginning of the term we selected a topic of interest. We got to select from one of the following; Arts and Crafts with Mrs Smith, Upcycling with Miss S, Fooding with Mr Stewart, Coding with Elizabeth (our IT specialist), Dancing like the Stars (Sandy Gray and Kathy) and Scouts skills with Matt (Youth Worker). We love this as it gives us 'hands on' experiences in a topic that we are passionate about! Check out the powerpoint below!




We have created games in coding and it is hard work but heaps of fun!

We are learning to read our recipes very carefully! The food we bake is so yummy and it is always gone before 3pm :)
Kathy even dances with us, look ^...

We love learning to tie different knots! 

Making plastic bottle streamers.
Creating paper mache treasure boxes.
