On Wednesday I went to Narre Warren South P-12 College to see
what it was like at high school.
Frist we went to science class, we did a trick standing on balloons,
but it didn’t pop.
We made juggling balls out of bird seed and balloons. It was very
hard to make them but the teacher helped me. I made 3 balls they
are yellow, green and red.
In cooking we made chocolate balls and rolled them in coconut. They
were nice.
In plastics class we made a pencil holder out of blue plastic. I really
liked making it.
I liked doing the drama class because it was fun. We had to get into
5 groups and do a play using our fingers because we were not allowed
to talk.
I felt happy and excited to be going to high school at P-12.
Purple Lamborghini by Israel M5
One shining morning at the zoo a panda woke from his sleep to
find a guard in his little home. The guard left the door open so
the panda quickly ran to the open door.
The panda went to the car park and found a purple
Lamborghini. The Lamborghini was unlocked and the car had
been taken.
The panda found a family that would care and feed him but the
panda hid from the family. He thought they were going to be
scared.
One morning the mother of the family, Tess, came up to the
attic to find her shoes but panda was caught eating her shoes.
So Tess screamed louder than a dinosaur and got Lowey, her
husband to check it out. Lowey saw the panda and ran as fast
as he could.
The next day Tess called the animal control to get a master.
They didn’t come. The panda ran away with his purple
Lamborghini and the owner saw his can driving fast away.
The problem was that he didn’t know how to drive. The panda
got his driver’s licence 2 years later.

Walk to School Fridays.
Every Friday morning students are invited to meet and walk into school
with teachers and parents. The meeting places are at four parks situated
around Coral Park Primary School. The Map below shows the different Park
locations which are at James Wyman, Amber Drive, Peppercorn Park and
Edeys Run. The New Active Pathways stickers on the paths assist students
to see how far it is to walk, ride or Scoot to school at any time. For the
first 4 weeks of term 4, Coral Park is also taking part in
Walk to school October.
This is where students mark
down how they travel to
school every day in the
class. There will also be
special activities to
celebrate walking to school
on Friday 21 October.
