Thiele, our torm mistress. 3B's REPORT Firstly, the biggest idea we had this year was to brighten up our classroom (whlch was rather dull and made us feel the same way). The first step was to paint the walls white and paint the skirting boards purple to go with the desks. We also painted a sunset over the water, a palm island and a ship which had run aground on lhe large board at the back of the room. Next we had to think of something for the front of the room. One of the girls came up with the idea of a large flower round the clock. We are also bringing poi plants for the room. The class is very happy with the results from careful planning and hope that th e other classes also do something to brighten their rooms as we did. G.P. S. Sports - Cathy Swannell was in the javelin and went quite well achieving 2nd place for hersell. Jane Nicklin was in the 800 and was cheered to a 7th place. G.P.S. Gym - We have five girls from our class in the Gym teams, Jennifer Clark is in the B team and Jane Nicklin, Janis Claxton, Anne Cowan, Margy Johnson are all in the D team. All are looking forward to the G.P.S. and they have been praclising their routines every day The class is now making plans for a record hop and hope lo make a reasonable amount of money lrom it.
