Room 17 has had a busy and productive start to Term 4! The
year five cohort has commenced dance lessons which run every Thursday morning.
The students are learning a variety of dance routines including a partner
dance, hip hop and the jive and it is fantastic to see them all participating
and making the most out of this experience..
The science presentations have also been running this
term. The students all had the opportunity to present their projects in Week 3,
covering a range of science concepts from chemistry to human biology.
Congratulations to Pavitra and Catherine who were selected as the year five
representatives from Room 17 for their well-researched and engaging
presentations. A further congratulation to Catherine, who was selected to be
the single representative for year five!
On Friday 28th of October there was a Senior
School Assembly in which the students had the opportunity to harvest and sell
the produce they have been growing in the veggie patches. Thank you to all the
students who helped with the harvesting and selling, we managed to raise a
total of $50!
Room 17 also managed to take away two class awards from
this assembly as well as some individual merit certificates. All the students’ hard work with reading and
completing Literacy Pro quizzes has led to us being crowned the Literacy Pro
Champions of the school! Room 17 also received the Senior Art Award for all the
students’ hard work and beautiful portraits they have produced.
As you can see it has been a busy start to Term 4 and
this will continue. The students have started a new unit on Bushfires in Geography
and are continuing to develop their understanding of solids, liquids and gases
in our Science lessons. Dance lessons will continue throughout the term and in
Week 7, swimming lessons will commence, running every day for two weeks. Just a
reminder that it is essential that students’ return their permission slips and
money before this time.
