Book Week Costumes

Cross Country

Last Friday we had our Cross Country event.

Well done to all the children from room 27 who participated and thank you to their classmates who were cheering them on.

Our class was very successful with five students receiving a place ribbon!

In the girls’ Year 2 race we had Scarlet finishing in 1^st place and Sarah finishing in 3^rd place. Congratulations girls!

In the boys’ Year 2 race we had Dodge finishing in 1^st place, Daniel in 2^nd place and Tariq in 4^th place. Nice work boys!

In Week 6 on Friday we attended a Life Education Van Incursion. The students participated in a lesson on “Growing Good Friends” which covered a range of topics including developing friendships, including others, conducting themselves in a safe manner, healthy eating and positive life style choices. It was a highly interactive and engaging experience enjoyed by all. The students were also given a booklet of activities and a sticker! 

                                                                       

Also in Week 6 the children presented their Super Scientist Presentations.The standard of these presentations was amazing! I was so impressed by the way the students prepared and delivered  their presentations. Thank you to all parents and families who provided the children with support in the lead up. It was very difficult to choose our two Room 27 Super Scientist Finalists, but in the end it came down to those students who demonstrated excellent presentation skills and who were well rehearsed and organised. Congratulations to Daniel and Lucy, who represented our class at the year level assembly in Week 7, 

Daniel "Bombs Away"

Congratulations to Scarlet, Isabelle and Sarah who were the recipients of Merit Certificates at the last

Junior Assembly.

Gold n Bells Excursion

As you all know this Friday we will be going on our Gold n Bells excursion. Please make sure your child has their water bottle and some recess packed in a plastic bag clearly labelled with their name. We will be back at school in time for lunch. The bus is leaving at 8.50am. Please have your children at school by the bell as we must leave on time to stay on schedule.

Excursion Checklist:

• Recess food in a small plastic bag
• Water bottle
• School Hat

Thank you for your support, we are all very excited and I'm sure we will have a great learning experience.

Science

In Science this term the children are learning about Living and Non-Living Things. We have been discussing the needs of plants and what they need to grow. Each child has planted their own snow peas and is monitoring its growth. The plants are put out in the sun each morning and watered every second day. The students are also measuring their plants once a week and graphing their results. As you can see from the picture below most plants are thriving.

Merit Certificates

Last Friday, we had our first junior assembly for the term and I am proud to announce our Merit Certificate winners for this month were Harlem, Sienna-Rose and William. Well done, you have all worked really hard.

Year 2 Challenge

Congratulations to Scarlet who received 100% and Daniel who was in the top 5 for year 2.
Well done.

Reminder, Tomorrow is

1. Crazy Hair Day. Please make sure any coloured spray is done at home.

2. Parent Teacher Interviews. Students finish at 12pm. Please try to be punctual to your interview, this will ensure I keep on time and don't keep you waiting.
3. Wreath making. Please bring in any flowers to place on our class wreath. Any parents volunteers to help make our wreath would be greatly appreciated.

 

 Buddy Class

Yesterday we meet with our buddy class, Kindy Room 1, to make some yummy Easter treats. The students from Room 27 helped their younger buddies to make a sprinkle covered chocolate egg.

Once finished the students all enjoyed eating their treats!!

 

 

 

 

 Assembly: The Water Cycle

I would like to congratulate all Room 27 Students on a wonderful Junior Assembly Performance. They were well rehearsed and looked fantastic in their costumes.  It was great to receive lots of positive feedback and hear that many people learnt a thing or two about the water cycle! I would also like to acknowledge the children who received Merit Awards & Special Certificates.

Thank you to all parents for your support in the lead up and for attending the assembly. I am sure you are as proud of the children as I am.

 

Student Councillors

As a class we voted for two students to represent our class as our Students Councillors. It gives me great pleasure to announce that Daniel and Ella-Grace were elected for Semester 1. I'm sure they will do a great job representing our class.
