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.

Sneak Peek: Art day and Wastewise blog

What is happening here?!

Here is a sneak peek of what  we did for calendar art.  This is only one of the three activities. 

Yes, it was very, very,very,very, very messy. 

In other news, the Ecowarriors have launched their  very own Wastewise blog. Stay tuned for their tips and field reports.

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?
