Quiet Room

At Burnside, we are really lucky to have a Quiet Room.  This is a place where we can go at lunchtime and learn to do fun crafts. Krista takes us and makes sure we have cool stuff to do.  Here is Bales with some origami he has made.

Pete the Cat

Amy, Mikayla and Matt are in the Horowitz reading group.  They read a journal article about podcasting and decided to create a podcast of the story Pete the Cat.  To do this they had to practise reading the book in parts, select who was reading each part, record their voices and then add music.

They are really proud of their efforts!

Well done team :)
