Winners for the last week of Term One!

Hi folks,

We had two winners from Bellaire this week and another winner from our friends at Baird Manfreight Primary in NZ.

This week we have been a bit strict on the rules. The people that followed the correct steps to submit their answer are the ones that have won.

The correct answer to the riddle was:   A KEY  

Caitlin R from Middle K was the person that answered the riddle correctly. Well done Caitlin!

Below is the mystery picture revealed!

A Sherrin football!

An Aussie Rules Sherrin football!

The person that submitted the correct answer was Lucy H from Middle W! Nice work Lucy!

Well done to Wiremu from Baird Manfreight who got the answer to the riddle.

We are giving an honourable mention to Vaerose from Baird Manfreight who said the mystery pic was a kangaroo. And part of it was indeed! But we apologise to our New Zealand friends for posting a very Australian (and Victorian) mystery picture.

That’s it for next term!

Next term we would love students to submit their own riddle or mystery pic for the challenge.  If you want to send one to Mr KT, just attach it to a note on Edmodo and send it to him!

Have a good holiday!
