On Tuesday 19th February we had two very special visitors to our school. Brendan Goddard and Mark Baguley came to talk to the grade 5/6 students. Even if you are not an Essendon supporter it was fantastic to have two professional AFL players visit New Gisborne Primary. They came to explain a little bit about what it was like to be an AFL player. We heard all about their training routines, how important nutrition was as well as the sacrifices they had made to achieve their goal of becoming a professional football player.
The students asked lots of interesting questions and at the end some Essendon fans were lucky enough to get their footy jumpers or footballs signed.

Last week we learnt that picure story books are important for all ages and that even though we are big grade 5/6 children we are never too old to sit on the floor and listen to a story. Of course there was some work to do in regards to the two stories. We were looking for hidden messages. Share the following Youtube videos (make sure you have permission first) with your family and friends and see if they can find the hidden messages.
