__Newspaper Dress Contest__ On the 09/09/08 in class we had a challenge to make an outfit that would be used were we are going (school). Jessica was our model. We dressed her up in a skirt with a slit and straps. We gave Jess Highheels and a bag. She had to do a catwalk it was hilerious!

 * FINAL REFLECTION: || JESS

I am really happy with the work we have done as a group. I thought that the primary school really appreciated our help. We did everything that they requested thoroughly. I HOPE IT STAYS TIDY LOL! Heaps of the kids helped us pick up some of the rubbish. One of the kids was really funny! He had an afro and if you touched he would say "Do not touch what you cant afford" LOL!! my favourite part was painting some year 5's faces for a dance they were doing. I think that the day went smoothly and this topic was just right for us!! I hope that in the future I can do a similar task to help out the community. THANK-YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY!!! || KATIE

I think going to Sunnyhills was great. Helping the school was really fun. I'm glad we were able to help. My favourite part was when we got to paint year 5's faces because they all looked really funny. The kids were really friendly.We did heaps of jobs but they were fun! All the teachers were relieved when we came. It was really funny. I had a great day. I hope I can do something like that again!!!! || NICOLE

I enjoy going to Sunnyhills Primary helping the teachers and the children.We did a lot to help clean up the school and help to make it a better place to learn at. We helped with the library putting the books in order and returning books for teachers and getting books out for them we also helped paint some year 5's face for them because they had a dance they were doing for the school. We all did lots to help the school.My favourite part of the day would be running around the school with some kids and picking up rubbish with them.I enjoyed the day a lot and we would want to go back there if we could!! || GROUP REFLECTION: Our group worked very hard and well together. We had a lot of fun and hope to continue doing similar tasks together. We all said that we were glad we chose this task. It really opened our eyes to the amount of work and effort that teacher put in to make life at school more enjoyable. we enjoyed most of the work we did and we were glad that we didn't have to clean up the worm farm! LOL!

Your group is by far the most organised so far and I really like the way you've used your initiative. I am impressed with the e-mail you sent the Principal, although maybe it would be a good idea to get mum or dad to proof read it before you send it. Thank you for your diligence!!! Mr Read (16/9)

Hi girls. I sure hope you're having a wonderful day at Sunnyhills while we're slaving away in the class. LOL. I can't wait to hear how your day went and how you made a positive difference to the community of Sunnyhills primary.** From what I've read you've done some excellent work with this Inquiry girls. Katie, you need to do your final reflection please. I'm looking forward to hearing your presentation on Monday.

<span style="background-color: rgb(255, 232, 0)"> <span style="background-color: rgb(255, 232, 0)">I was absolutely delighted with the idea that you came up with to go and help out at Sunnyhills primary. What a wonderful idea. Thanks for the leadership that I saw exercised within your group....you know who you are and it is noticed.

I liked looking at the photos you've posted. They make your Wiki so much more interesting. As they say "A picture paints a thousand words."

The thing that I most want you to get out of this task is the realisation that you can make a positive difference to others. As the future leaders of this country I'd like you to serve others in some way so that you can leave your community (whatever that community may be) a better place. All of you are leaders in your own right. You don't have to be a Councillor or a house captain to be considered a leader. Each of you is a leader when you take the lead and do something perhaps that others might not do. E.g Help a school without being paid or asked to.

You've worked well together and produced some fine work

Overall grade so far. A 5000 house points each || **Student response** ||
