Calendar Art = Inspiration Boards...What inspires you? What motivates you? What is your passion?
www.pinterest.com - great place to start
Inspiration boards allow us to share our passion with others. It also helps us stay positive and have something to reflect on when we need to be inspired and self motivated. Going on to Intermediate School, we need to make sure we continue to follow our dreams and stay INSPIRED! So begin your internet search for images, quotes and even an old photo of you doing something you LOVE, to create an inspirational board collage as this year's calendar art.
Start bringing in your inspirations NOW :-)

Stingrays Info Report
Stingrays
Stingrays live from 15 to 25 years and can be found in tropical and temperate seas worldwide. There is lots of information about stingrays like looks, diet, attack and miscellaneous.
Looks
Stingrays are flat so they can hide under the sand easily. Stingrays are large, flat, grey fish with round "wings" on each side. These wings don't let the stingray fly, but glide through the water. Stingrays mouths are underneath their bodies with their stomach and gills. Their eyes are on the sides of their heads and their spine runs down through their back into their tail.
Diet
Stingrays main diet is small fish, but they also eat a lot of molluscs and crustaceans like oysters, Pipi, cockles and mussels. Stingrays usually hide in the sand and catch the enemy by surprise, but only for fish!
Attacks
The way a stingray kills its enemy is by paralysing them with the sting in their tail. They also whip with their tail because of its amazing strength against other creatures. Even though stingrays may seem dangerous they won't actually attack a human without being provoked.
Miscellaneous
Other facts include stingray is often served grilled in Singapore and Malaysia. In some countries stingray is known as whipray because before World war 2, people cut off stingrays tail and used it to whip slaves, but it was later banned.
Conclusion
Stingrays live in tropical and temperate seas all over the world and have a lifespan of 15 to 25 years.

Benjamin Greasley - Trinity Winter Cub Camp
It was the most fun camp ever because we got to sleep in the cabin.
On Friday night my Dad drove me to Camp Rutherford in Whitford for cub camp. When I got there I put my stuff on a bed and then all hell broke lose. I noticed how everyone was jumping on each other. I ran to my friends and retreated.
I went to bed after a hot chocolate and didn't get to sleep until 2am because everyone was awake and talking.
The next morning I woke up at about 5am when everyone was still talking. We had breakfast - toast - and then we went to do our daily activities which was hiking/walking around wet lands and playing soccer.
That night we did skits. I was used as one of the props - sadly. Now I was being tormented by being the messiest eater in cubs.
Everyone was more tired that night and I had a better sleep - went to bed at about 11am.
I woke up the next morning 6am and there were only a few people talking. Then after an hour all hell broke lose again.
My Dad came to pick me up and I went home happily.

Natasha, Brianna and Ellyse's Inquiry
| Ellyse, Natasha and Brianna decided to choose to do their inquiry project on a website called webnode. It is a website that creates other websites. We have done it all about global warming and trees. There is a youtube clip link at the bottom of the homepage all about how we can save trees with reducing how much paper you use. There are a lot of pictures about how the earth feels with all of this global warming or "greenhouse effect" going on. Please add a quality comment for what we can do next time we make a website or next time we do a presentation. Thanks Brianna, Ellyse and Natasha |

My Passion Project Gymnastics
I did my passion project on gymnastics because it is one of my passions. I train 28 hours a week and still never get sick of it. But i get tired from a 6 hour train on Saturdays. And that is every Saturday. I train 4 and 1/2 every other day. I started to do gymnastics when my sister was doing cart wheels around the house. I never stopped copying her.My first competition overseas was in 2011. I was really nervous because i had never been overseas before. I was so proud i came first overall. Last year i came third overall and was really impressed about that.
