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. 

We are focusing our work in History and Geography on migration and our connections with Asia. To improve in this area students need to work on using 'empathy' and putting themselves in the shoes of the people we investigate. 

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. 

Students 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. 


 Just a reminder that we have our 'Super Scientist Competition' again this term. Students will need to find an experiment to demonstrate their scientific knowledge or prepare a scientific report on an area of interest in Science.

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