Crazy Hair Day

On the last Wednesday of term, we had a Crazy Hair Day to raise funds for the Cancer Council. There were some VERY crazy hair dos in Room 23 and the generous donations helped our school raise $522.00. Thank you for supporting this worthy cause.

Reading Superstars

As the students in Room 23 know, Miss B LOVES books! It gives me great pleasure to see students excited and interested in stories. Student receive a weekly home reader and are also encouraged to read other books for leisure at home. The school holidays is the perfect time! As an incentive to read regularly, students who complete home reading every night for 5 weeks will receive a book prize that they get to keep!

Joan, Gagan, Saadhana, Alex, Riley and Alyssa all received a book prize this term. Keep up the fantastic effort Room 23!

Week 9 winners

Week 10 winners

Congratulations

Congratulations to Riley, Alex & Ava who won a Merit Certificate at the final Senior Assembly for Term 1. A huge congratulations also to Maddi who was the Year Three winner in the P & C Easter colouring in competition. Well done and I can't wait to see what Room 23 will achieve in Term 2!

Day & Night

During Week 9 & 10, we investigated day and night. In their Kagan teams, students were given materials to construct a model, demonstrating the key concepts covered. They then explained the process to their peers. We also looked at some of the differences between what we see in the day time and what we see (or can't see) at night.

Super Writers to the Rescue!

In our VCOP sessions, we have now commenced our narrative unit. This week, we looked at characterisation, around a superhero topic. We created a superhero and then completed a character profile, considering their appearance, superpowers, mission and gadgets. The student then had a go at writing an introductory paragraph, describing their character using colourful vocabulary and powerful verbs. Some of their work is featured below for your enjoyment:

Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Fiona. Even though she was a princess, she still was beautiful. She had her birthday a few weeks ago. She was turning eighteen. For her birthday, she got a superhero toy chest. She loved it so much but that was all about to change...

As I woke up, on a sensational morning, I felt very strange. Then, as I stretched, a lazer. ZOOM! In one second, it shot through my ceiling...WOAH!

One bright, sunny day, a super hero named Muscle Man was at the training room, lifting huge boulders. Muscle man had brown wyes ans strong muscles. He worked at Brigh Hill, in an apartment. He liked fighting bad guys. Most of all, he liked to win everything!
