SHAVING HEADS FOR CANTEEN

A group of girls from Room 13 organised a school bandana day to raise funds for canteen. A large percentage of room 1 bought bandanas to support this great cause and so did a lot of other Balmac students. So much so that we raised over $1600 as a school! Because we raised over $1000 a number of our teachers shaved their heads down to a number one! Nice one Mr Sloan, Mr Napier, Mr Clarke, Mr Waititi, Mr Friend, Mr Henderson and Mr Tarapi!

AMAZING RACE WEEK TWO: USA

Last week the students of Room One explored the United States of America. They looked at the current events happening in the USA at the moment, the culture, tourist spots, animals, people and food best known in America.
This week we also had a road block on Monday afternoon. All of the groups had to make an American Brownie. I awarded 20 points for the best brownie and 20 points for the best group work. The Green team won best Brownie and the Red team won best team work. Well done folks. Check out our teams in action in the pictures above.
