Notes from the teacher


Students in Room 15 have started Term Two with a focus on improving in all areas. We have been working on detailed goals to help us take the steps to achieving our aims.

In writing, we are aiming for 'perfect paragraphs' to ensure we include detail that helps the story line, creates tension and suspense and lets us get a short story written in a set time frame. Our focus in Mathematics is measurement and geometry together with calculations using decimals. 
Image result for citizenship clipartStudents need to keep working to get more done on their Citizenship Portfolio. Being a good citizen is vital as we all share this planet we call home.

I encourage all students to complete the homework on the blog to help reinforce work done in class.
