Sailing

Our morning on the Fox 2 was lots of fun. The children learnt heaps from the 6 experiences sailors who worked with each watch. Being at the helm was a highlight for many...

Stars on stage...

Room 19, you were all brilliant in today's performance of Ali Baba, what a treat the parents are in for...

Awesome fun at Top Team

What a blast we had at Top Team on Friday. Fabulous teamwork, a great positive attitude and lots of water!

We had to fill this hallow pole, blocking the holes so that as little water as possible could escape.

Finding our way through the maze...

This bucket has holes!

Third place overall, well done Team 19!

Getting Spooky

What fun we are having this week creating decorations for the Quiz Night on Saturday. The theme for the night is Halloween and we are transforming the doors into spooky creatures...

Self directed literacy

Room 19 have hit the ground running this term, with great self directed learning. We are underway with a new approach to learning in literacy, with the students deciding what they are going to do when.

Room 19's jelly and ice cream

We've just had an exciting two weeks in room 19, mainly around the jelly and ice cream! On Wednesday the 5-8s would purchase a ticket in the morning before coming back at lunch to collect their jelly, ice cream and sprinkles! Last Thursday the juniors did the same, and that's what these awesome pictures are about.

Nearly at speech delivery time

Room 19 have been working really well on speech researching and writing. We are looking forward to hearing many wonderful speeches next week.

A few are still finishing speeches off and need to be working on these at home.

Most are at the stage of practising their speech delivery. We have talked about what makes a great delivery, good pace - not too fast, effective use of pauses, some hand gestures, lots of eye contact...

Practice, practice, practice is what is needed over the next few days at home, in front of a mirror, the family pet, a parent or sibling. 

If there was a competition for the most carefully made cue cards...

Finishing touches, nearly there...

The practice begins...
