Hallowe’en at DBGS

Seniors celebrated Hallowe’en on Thursday with a costume competition and Primary students celebrated on the 31st with a Hallowe’en parade around the school grounds.

Year 5 Ancient Greece

To end their humanities topic on Ancient Greece, Year Five immersed themselves in a day of Greek culture and activities. In the morning, they built temples, some of which were able to withstand the weight of 50 whiteboards. They were then treated to a Greek feast presented by Mr Bolton who produced “a delicious salad”.

Later in the day they wrote poetry and performed music to their respective classes, before rounding the day off with a four event mini Olympics and a closing ceremony, with the day’s winners awarded laurel wreaths they had created earlier in the week.

Year 2 Blue Exercise Poster Winners

The winning team from Year 2 Blue collected their stickers this afternoon from Primary Headteacher Mr Bolton. The red team created a poster endorsing the benefits of exercise to be displayed around the school.

Year 5 Yellow Greek Temples

Year Five attempted to replicate Greek temples during their humanities lesson on Monday afternoon. Given 12 vanilla wafers and six bamboo skewers, they were tasked with creating a temple fit for their God of choice.

Those who chose to build in honour of Zeus crafted a wonderful design complete with frieze and roof, while those who built theirs for Poseidon claimed that it was done to resemble the ruins presently found at Cape Sounion.
