Week 7 - Harmony Day

 Buddy Class activity:

Room 19 were so excited to meet and get to know their Year 1 and Year 2 buddies for the first time. I could not think of a better celebration to do that with than to join together to commemorate Harmony Day.

 

Room 19 did an awesome job in welcoming and getting to know their buddies. Both myself and Miss Marinan were very impressed with how well they took on the responsibility of guiding and assisting their buddies in the completion of their Harmony Hand Tree. We can’t wait to meet up with Room 34 again.

Wonderful work Room 19!

Harmony Day Dress up:

Thank you to those students who dressed up for Harmony Day. You all looked fabulous, and it was a fantastic way to celebrate the many cultures we have in our class.

Drop Everything and Talk

Each week the students will be participating in ‘Drop everything and Talk’. This is a speaking and listening task that encourages students to share their ideas while developing their presentation and listening skills. Here are a few responses from this week’s Drop Everything and Talk.

 

The topic for Week 6 was, ‘What is your biggest dream that you wish would come true?’

 

Drasika: “My biggest dream that I want to come true is to become a famous singer because then I can give lots of autographs and will be really famous for doing something I love.”

 

Jye: “My biggest dream that I want to come true is to have a GT when I’m older because my dad likes old cars, and he says he wants me to have an old car like him. He told me I better start saving up and put some money in the bank”

 

Anjana: “My biggest dream I want to come true is to study really hard in high school so I can go to university because I want to give my parents a good life when they are older. I want to do this as they have given me an amazing life.”

Room 12, 16 and 19’s Figurative Language Assembly

Congratulations Room 19 on a fantastic assembly item! 

 

It was a wonderful way to learn about all the different types of figurative language we can use to make our writing more interesting. 

 

Thank you, parents, for ensuring your child came appropriately dressed for our assembly. Well done to those students who remembered their lines and thought on the spot when required, you should be proud of yourselves. I am very proud of the figurative language acrostic poems you wrote using similes and metaphors to describe your chosen topic.

 

Congratulations to our merit awards winners, Carter, Drasika, Sophie and Masih.

 

Congratulations, also to our Science award winner, Anjana and our values award winner, Maddison. Well-deserved girls.

Speaking & Listening Task – Term 1

All students will need to present a 2-5 minute presentation on the topic: What makes me special?

Presentations will be held in Week 5 and may be in the form of a power point or poster, and palm cards are encouraged. This will mean in Week 4 there is no Spelling or Mental Maths homework.

Assembly – Friday 5th March 2021

Dear Parents/Caregivers,

On Friday 5^th March from 8:50am, Room’s 12, 16 and 19 will be hosting the Senior Assembly in the undercover area.

As part of our assembly item we would like all students to dress in hip hop/funky clothing, as we will be performing a figurative language rap song. We will be practising in class and a copy of the lyrics can be found here.

To access the song please type in 'Figurative Language Rap Song' on YouTube.

Students will need to bring their school uniform to change into after the assembly.

Kind Regards,

Miss McKercher
