The Periodic Table

Over the next two terms we'll be studying Earth Systems (global warming, water cycle, earthquakes, weather systems and the like).  As part of our Science inquiry, we'll also be challenging ourselves to learn the elements of the Periodic Table.  Let the fun begin!

And the movie is...

Wearable Arts

I don't want to give too much away... but we are pretty proud of what we have achieved so far in Room 18 for the Wearable Arts show 'Adorn'.

The Seek and Sort stages of Inquiry - researching, planning & designing

The Connecting stage of Inquiry - connecting all of our understandings to create our product

 

The Real Assessment Task (RAT) - the culmination of everything coming together in our Wearable Arts show 'Adorn' --> DON'T MISS THE SHOW... this Wed and Thurs night.

End of Term Festivities :)

BAKING ACTION
On Thursday 11th July, Room 18 will be holding a class baking auction.  The event is designed to reward students for their patience, reliability and responsible behaviour throughout the term.

Students have been earning classroom currency in the form of ‘time'.   Students will be able to use their ‘time’ to purchase an item of baking on the day.  

To make this event possible, each student is asked to bring along an item of baking to be auctioned off.

These items could include, but are not limited to:

• cupcakes
• biscuits
• slice

MOVIE SCREENING
In addition to the baking auction, we will be screening a movie.  Students are free to bring along items of comfort (for example, a pillow or blanket), but must understand that they are responsible for such things whilst at school.  The movie title is yet to be confirmed.  A decision will be made early in the week and a permission slip will be sent home (if the rating exceeds G-rating).  Students need to return the permission slip by the Thursday.

Many thanks

Farewell Mr Rob Thomson

We said "See ya later" to Mr Rob Thomson on Friday.  Mr Thomson was in our class for 3-weeks as part of his university studies.  He will return in Weeks 2, 3 & 4 of Term 4 to take small group and whole class lessons.  He quickly built up a strong rapport with students and colleagues at St Martins.  We look forward to his return later in the year.

Year 3/4 Cloak Performance

This morning at 10am we were treated to a 'special showing' of the Year 3/4 cloaks.  The narrators spoke confidently in front of the school-wide audience and students travelled the runway using a series of choreographed movement sequences.

Don't forget, the Year 5-8 'Adorn' Wearable Arts show is next Wednesday and Thursday night... so be sure to purchase your tickets from the office.  Don't miss out!  It's a fantastic chance for students to showcase what they have created this term.

Yay... we had Winter Sport today!

I am pleased to report that, YES, we had Winter Sport today (finally!)... and YES, it was muddy!  Check out the gorgeous hockey team and their mud facials.  :) 

 

The gorgeous crew.

 

I think that George'ous'  was secretly loving the attention.  What a poser! ;)

 

Looking sharp Georgia!
