Student Councillors

Congratulations to Lilian and Madelyn who have been voted by their peers for the role of Semester Two Student Councillors. Both of these students are responsible and show great initiative within our classroom and school environment. I can’t wait to see how well they represent our class during Semester Two 😀






NAIDOC Week – Buddy Class

Last Friday we had the pleasure of hosting our Room 30 buddy class for a fun NAIDOC week activity. We learnt about what it means to celebrate NAIDOC week and made particular mention to this year’s NAIDOC theme ‘Because of her we can’. The students then worked alongside their buddies to create mosaic collages of the Indigenous and Torres Strait Islander flags. Below are some photos of their fabulous work.








Poetry and ICT
This term in class we have been focusing on different elements of poetry, as well as our ICT skills. Each week the students have the opportunity to write their own poem and on Fridays during our ICT time, the students have been practising their word processing skills and typing them up. These typed poems will then become a part of a class poetry book to be read and displayed in our book corner! 

We have also introduced Typing Club as one of our morning work activities to increase the students’ exposure to word processing and get them typing more efficiently. The students love this! 

Science
In Science, this term, we are focusing on different materials and the properties of those materials. We have been exploring our school and class environment to record various materials and find out why they are suited to their particular purpose. 




HASS
Throughout HASS this term we are learning about Civics and Citizenship and, in particular, the need for rules and laws in our society. We are also focusing on the three levels of government and what each government is specifically responsible for.
