Super Readers

We are very excited that Literacy Pro is up and running. Our class goal is to read 150 000 words by the end of Week 8 and we are SO close! Krissy and Gazal have been doing a sensational job of reading books at their level and taking lots of quizzes and have both earnt their Red Certificate. Alby and Deep have been doing a great job too and have each received their Blue Certificate. Your child’s log in details can be found in their motivation journal. Keep reading Room 24!

Congratulations

Congratulations to Krissy, Naomi and Chloe who received Merit Awards at the last Senior Assembly.

Homework Folders

Just a reminder that students should be bringing their motivation journal and folder to class each day. This not only ensures they are learning to be responsible for their belongings but also gives them a place to put any notes that may be sent home that day. 
Thanks for your co-operation, 
Miss B.

Talk To Teach

Last week, the students gave a short oral presentation, teaching their peers a new craft or skill. The quality of the presentations was outstanding and I sincerely thank you for the work put in at home to ensure that the students were organised and felt prepared. We learnt how to make planes, ice biscuits and even some self-defence-just to name a few!

General Knowledge

In HASS, we have been learning about celebrations and commemorations that that take place both in Australia and the world. Below is the General Knowledge PowerPoint we use in class, which revises some key concepts and vocabulary.

Multiplication Masters

We have also begun out Kung Fu Multiplication Challenge.  We began with the super easy White Belt (1 X table). In order to gain their next belt, students must complete an oral test with the tables in and out of order, demonstrating rapid recall. Then, each Friday, they complete a written test, which must be completed in under 5 minutes. Once students have passed both components, they move up to the next belt.

Maths Update

In Maths, we have been looking at multiplication problems. Below the students in Room 24 enjoying some fun, interactive multiplication tasks. Practice makes perfect!

In Room 24 ‘We All Fit In!’

We really enjoyed putting together our class puzzle. This is a visual reminder that in Room 24 we work together, including and respecting our peers. We talked about how we’re each an important ‘piece of the puzzle.’

Thank you to all the creative parents and other special people who helped the children decorate their puzzle piece. It was lovely to hear the students having conversations about the people and things that are special to them!

Student Council Meeting

Last week, our Student Councillors, Roseleen and Steven represented out class at the first Student Councillor meeting for 2018. After discussing our team agenda items, we came together to hold a class meeting. We then had a democratic vote to choose the item that we would present to Ms Roberts. We decided to propose that the school should purchase more equipment for the Senior students to use at lunchtime. We will have to see what the verdict is at the next Student Councillor meeting!
