Fidget Spinners

Fidget Spinners

By Fran

Fidget Spinners are toys that are designed to play with and help you concentrate.They are held between two fingers and spin while you hold them. Fidget Spinners are trending around NZ and children are bringing them to school. Some schools have banned Fidget Spinners. At Lincoln primary school you are allowed Fidget Spinners if you have a note from your parents saying it will help you concentrate.

The cheapest Fidget Spinners cost around $3 and most are made of metal. They are priced depending on how well they spin, the sound they make, the shape and the colour. Some can spin for up to 5 mins. Fidget Spinners make good presents and are fun to play with. Some teachers argue that they are a distraction.  

Children love fidget Spinners a lot more than teachers do.

Year ⅚ Bush Ed Trip

By Ella McMillan and Lily Mccondach.

On the 10th and 11th of May, Syndicate 3 went to Spencer Park for their Bush Ed Trip.

The leaders of their trip were teaching them how to survive and thrive in the bush. They learnt how to make stretchers out of tarps and logs and how to make bivvys for shelter.

They did some activities like building sculptures on the beach and orienteering.

Overall these kids had a exciting experience at Spencer Park, where they learnt a lot of usual educational knowledge about surviving and thriving in the Bush.

Here is Team Red carrying the stretcher out of the bush.

Here is Team Red again, building sculptures on the beach.

It was a day for working together in our teams.

We built amazing sculptures, found our way around in orienteering and rescued our injured team members.
