Year 5 Reflection Day by Seth Grove

On Tuesday the 17/11/2020, it was our Year 5 Reflection Day. It was held in the Parish meeting room next to the church.

The day started off with a morning prayer, then we were learning heaps of different types of meditations. For example, we filled up a bottle with water and put glitter in the bottle and watched it. It turned out to look like an amazing snow globe.

We were learning about friendships and how we can learn to work together, and to learn about taking over the role of our Year 6 leaders.

We were doing all different kinds of games, like bed sheet ping pong and games about how we can work together and cooperate. 

You won’t believe it, Phoebe’s mum let us have hot chips for 1st break. They were so amazing, we couldn’t get enough of them. There was even room for seconds.

The middle session we were working through booklets. We were looking at ourselves and ticking, circling and other things to work out how we are going and how we can improve to make better leaders for the future. Then for the 2nd break we had Zooper Doopers and we played 44 homes, which turned out really fun. 

After that, the final session we got to play games all afternoon. Teamwork games, like balloon up where you have got to keep the balloon off the ground for as long as you can. 1 2 3 look and Wizards, Monsters and Fairies, which is a bit like scissors, paper, rock. There was a game called “traffic lights, toilets and trees” which was pretty funny. Then we got to finish with an awesome game of dodgeball. The dodgeball would have to have been my favourite one of all.

Year 5 Reflection Day by Phoebe Selmes

On Tuesday the 17th of November, it was the Year 5 Leadership Reflection day. Reflection day is a day for Year 5 to focus on how to become good leaders for next year. Year 5 got to wear mufti and we moved into the Parish meeting room for a day. 

We started the day with a prayer.  Then we played some fun team building games like bed sheet ping pong, balloon up, knots, all over, 1 2 3 look, monsters wizards and fairies and band-aid tag. 

In the middle session we did mindfulness meditation and we made a calm jar, using water, glitter and stars. 

We got hot chips, poppers and zooper doopers for lunch.

In the afternoon we ended with a special prayer.

It was the best day ever!
