The B.P Challenge Part 2



Yesterday morning 4 teams from Bell Block School went to the T.S.B Stadium for the B.P Challenge! Students from our class competed in the B.P Challenge. They were at the Stadium all day, going in the morning and coming back in the afternoon. They participated in lots of challenges, from lifting a 2.5 litre Coke bottle from the 2nd story in the stadium from making a huge hat and a giant wind wand. 

All teams also made a crank for the hand crank challenge, Angel, William, Ethan, Shasta and Jazz's power bike scored 2nd place! (See a picture of the bike below) This team also won the medical supplies challenge!! Others from our class to be involved were Casey, Lucy, Tenisha, Jacob and the photographers for the day were Jurnee and Charlotte.

Above is a photo of Angel's team participating in the 'Marge's Hat' Challenge!

The B.P Challenge Part 1



A lot of people in our class have been placed in a team for the B.P Technology Challenge on the 11 June. William Adlam (Current Head Boy) and Ethan Tate came into school this morning with a bike-like thing, that they have called 'Power Bike '. The half bike contraption is something you pedal on to make power, from the little box they have attached to the bike. They are going to use it for the B.P Challenge's 'Crank' Challenge. Mrs Miller found it fascinating when she came in to greet us this morning and couldn't resist having a go on it herself!




The Arts Festival




Our Head Girl, Angel Gotz had an idea this term about organising an arts festival for the school to show off their talents, from singing to being on the keyboard. The first half of the Intermediate Auditions happened yesterday at lunchtime when Ethan, Lucy, Casey, Samantha, Charlotte, Pricze Gold, Tenisha, Shayden, Kane, Chino and Ashley all performed in groups or solo's in the performance. They all did brilliantly! Today Stevie, Nikolao, Lucy and Byron will all also take part. The auditions go towards the Arts Festival (25 June, Bell Block School Hall 6 - 8 p.m). The best 5 or so from each category (Junior, Middle, Senior and Intermediate) will be placed into the show. Entry is 50c for any audition at lunchtime and at the actual show.
