Art - Sculpted Photography:

Room 11 continues with art as being one of its major focii this term. Yesterday afternoon, all students were out and about around the school snapping photos of the beautiful nature that we have in our school grounds. They have printed these out and are now busy producing art works that are inspired by Matt Dodge, the American world champion snowboarder and artist - check out his website:

First success for the term:

Bailey and Sage had success on our first day back at school this term - they both scored 100% in their Five Minute Frenzy Addition grid AND they scored a time UNDER 5 minutes!
Congratulations to Sage and Bailey, our newest 100%'ers!

Welcome Back!

Welcome back to our last term for 2011!

We have been very fortunate that we have been joined by 6 new students from Room 12 - Nicola, Paige, Porsha, Anthony and Sam. We know that they will love all the exciting learning that takes place in Room 11.

A very special welcome to Natalie, who has joined us for maths all year and has now joined our class permanently.
