Gear List

Just in case some of you are panicking, I've included a gear list on our blog...

Expressive Diary

Each week, our students are given the chance to 'express' themselves in their Expressive Diary. This is a book which allows their imagination to run wild. They are given either topics to write about or perhaps the first line will be given to them. Spelling, punctuation, grammar are not corrected in these books... we are simply looking the kids to get their ideas down on a page. Above are 2 which made it to our 'A1 Standards Table' this week, they are from Samara and Toma....

First Aid

All pupils underwent a 'People's First Aid Course' on the last Friday of Term 1. This is in preparation for when they go to camp in week 2 of Term 2. At least I know I will be in safe hands if something happens to me.....I have to say though, am not exactly sure about their bandaging skills!!???

wow museum

Last week was a fantastic week because we went to the wow museum to get ideas for stage challenge. Not only that but we got to see the classic car collections. We watched a fantastic movie of the WOW shows (world of wearable arts). On the way out of the museum, we went through a room where everything glowed. It was very cool and even our teeth glowed!

We were very lucky to go in for $1 each because children normally pay $7. We wold like to thank Miss Packer our art teacher for a great time.

'ME' Project

At the beginning of Term 1, I set room 5 the task of producing a project all about themselves. They had 9 stories to write and the topics to be covered included;
My Family...
The best thing about me is...
What I'd most like to have is...
Lately I learned...
One thing I'd like you to know about me is...
The best present I ever received was...
The most dangerous thing I have ever done is...
If I could be anyone in the world it would be...
One goal I have for the future is...

Pupils were marked on grammar, spelling, A1 standards (neatness), inclusion of colour/photos as well as producing their project on time. They had 3 weeks to complete it and I must admit, the standard was VERY HIGH. I've included 3 pieces of work which I hope you enjoy reading

Lidi Saxon....What I'd most like to have
Caitlin Logan...What I've learned recently
Samara Arnold...If I could be anyone in the world it would be

Week 6

Looks like we are flying through the first term! We are now in week 6 and we have our Class, Team and Sports Leaders! To get the position, the candidates had to make a speech. I have to say that they were all good and it was a tough choice! the results are.
Team Leader's, Ben Seelen and Rose McCarthey.
Class Leader, Kirsty Fern.
Deputy Class Leader, Lidi Saxon.
Sports Leader, Wati Nichols.
Deputy Sports Leader, Toma Nouguchi.

With Ms Bouzaid the class are learning about recounts. We had to write a recount and publish it. Mrs Parker is teaching us about hypothermia, exposure and the correct clothing to wear while we are in the bush. We need all this info as we are going on camp soon.

Well thats about it for Week 6. I wonder what were doing next week?!
