Aussie Day

On Friday of Week 2, the school celebrated Australia Day by dressing up with an Australia theme. In class, we have been investigating how we celebrate our national day and how New Zealand, one of our nearest neighbours, celebrates their day. We compared and contrasted Australia Day and Waitangi Day. We found that we had a lot in common with each other but also some key differences. The class showed their information in a Venn Diagram.
The money raised at Aussie Day is being donated to the Bushfire Appeal which has had such a huge impact on our country. During week two we looked at bushfires and talked about having a bushfire plan for emergencies. We then used our work to write poems about the bushfires.

Parent Information Evening


The Room 11 Parent Information Evening will be held on Tuesday 18th February from 7:00 to 7:45pm. I look forward to seeing parents/carers and outlining the structure for our classroom. 

Please return the slip sent home with your child to confirm you will be attending.

Term 1 Student Representatives

Congratulations to the students in Room 11 (Raiba, Grace, Nathan, Akash, Steve, Natalina & Alphons) who were appointed as Student Reps. for this term. I am looking forward to working with all the Year Sixes in this group. Job allocations have already been sorted out and students are enjoying their new responsibilities. Last week, students had a meeting with Ms Roberts to ensure they understand their roles and responsibilities and the school expectations.

Welcome to 2020

Welcome to Room 11's blog. I'm looking forward to working with all the students in Room 11 this year. Everyone seems to be settling in to new routines. My expectations of the class and our long-term goals were discussed for the year - 

• ORGANISATION
• WORKING TOGETHER
• NOT BEING AFRAID TO MAKE MISTAKES
• RESPECTING ONE ANOTHER
• BEING A RESPONSIBLE ROLE-MODEL
• and importantly ALWAYS TRYING OUR BEST

Students have started working on their Student Representative Speeches. Last week we heard the first batch of students as they tried to persuade the Year Six staff and members from the Administration team as to why they should be chosen to represent the students of our school. The standard of speeches has been very high and the staff have truly been impressed. We look forward to working with all the Student Representatives over the year.

On Friday morning, we announced the chosen Student Representatives for Term One, at a special assembly. When selecting Student Representatives we look for equal representation from all classes and a mix of abilities. This does mean that some students who delivered speeches may not be selected in Term One.
