What do you want to change about your class/school?

Mrs. Goundar asked us to fill out a survey.  The survey asked what we would like to see changed in our school or class.

Read our interesting ideas:

"Kids can have a say on what happens at lunchtimes" - Brooke

"Students will be given a sense of responsibility and would be doing more of what they love...." - Grace

".....more kids that are proud of themselves..." - Ashton

"...more chances for kids to get sports equipment..." - Liam

"...if we stick to to the topics now.....we would not be prepared" - Luka 

".....more sports team...." - Kane

"....change the furniture" - Bhaviik.

"...more chapter books" - Arnav

"....change the amount of collaboration" - Kaleb.

What would you change?

Class update

What a term! We've done so many things this term. 1. Well done to Brooke, Rosie, Joy, Ashton and Kane who had placings in the Swimming zone. 2. We also had EOTC week in which we practised a lot of problem solving and collaboration. It was really tricky to use Aurasma for orienteering.

Is contributing awesome?

How have you contributed today? Is it important to contribute?

Here are some awesome contributors: 

 Layla, Dorian, Samuel, Sejal  and Hosana performed at Xfactor 2014. Special mention to Brooke and Caleb - our techies. 

To those who participated in Athletics day especially our relay team Jonathan, Adelaide, Samuel and Brooke. Even though we didn't win, you gave it all and did everything you could.

Reflective question

Ms. Corbett asked Room 12 " Is Miss Laxa the boss of you?"
Brooke replies with " No. She's not the boss of me but I'll listen to her....."

What do you think of Brooke's comment?  What do you think she was trying to say? Do you agree with her? Do you disagree with her?

Speech finalists

Well done to Luka, Daniel, Brooke and Rosie who represented Room 11 and Room 12 in the speech competition. It takes a lot of guts, determination and confidence to talk in front  of your peers and teachers. You were all awesome. Be proud of yourselves!

We focussed on having an original topic, speech delivery and having a point of view/argument. What do we want the audience to think about/do after hearing our speeches? We wanted to add our personality in using personal stories/personal voice.  Think about our audience!!

Rosie and Brooke came second equal overall. 

 

Daniel talked about his trip to Mars using a bouncy castle, Luka told us about the dangers of being sugar drunk, Rosie gave us an informative speech about rain/water cycle and Brooke discussed the existence of zebra unicorns.  What was your favourite speech?

Assembly

We have been looking at increasing our fitness. We decided to give tips on how to do well in cross country.

  Thanks to our ICT monitors for making the computer-thingy work!
