This is a photo of the new dog my family adopted on the 9Th of April 2011.Her name is Daisy. She has an ear infection and an eye infection. She has been abandoned twice, that's why we got her for free.We found her on a Chinese website. There are some more small dogs on that website that are for free but two barkers is enough for our family!
SHE EVEN SLEEPS UNDER THE BLANKETS WITH US AT NIGHT!!!!!!!!!!
This is a photo of Lucy too!!!

Yr5/6 Tee Ball 2011
The Year 5/6 tee ball day was a great day to be outside playing. Ramarama showed great sportsmanship and played fairly.
Well done to the Ramarama Tigers for coming first out of fourteen teams, winning all six games.
All the schools played their best and that is what made the day a success.
I think that everybody had a lot of fun. Thank you to Mr McNeil and the teachers for organising the day.

Something to think about...
Today in class we started an interesting discussion around what is bravery? Do you have to risk your life to be brave? Do you have to be scared to be brave?
Three more cases to consider:
1. Sandy jumps off the bottom step onto the ground, and walks away to buy her lunch.
2. Candy jumps off the highest diving board, lands with a splash and swims to the ladder.
3. Mandy jumps off the top of her house, lands with a splat, breaks both legs and both arms and gets taken to hospital.
Do you think that Sandy, Candy and Mandy are brave? Why or why not?
(P4C - Vanya Kovach)
