Term 2 Update

Image
Hello to the families and students of Room 16! We have had a very busy term working together and achieving wonderful accomplishments! Here are some photographs of what we have been up to. Class meetings are a very important opportunity for students to voice their opinions and make a change around the school. Through this class meeting, the students decided they would like to take on promoting ‘No Throw Tuesday’ around the school. As a class, we had a busy afternoon creating and putting up posters to help Wattle Grove Primary School become more sustainable. We will continue focusing on promoting ‘No Throw Tuesday’ next semester. This term, we have been focusing on fairytales and poetry for Big Write. Recently, the students wrote Cinquain poems which were inspired by living things, as this is part of our current Science topic. Above are some examples of poetry by students in Room 16.

By the 31st of May, each classroom will determine 1-3 students who are their ’top’ presenters. This means that, over the course of 4-5 days, all students deliver their presentations to the class, and the teacher will assess each p...
