Our class has just completed a History/English topic based on The ANZAC Spirit.
We learnt that during the War, the Australian soldiers displayed great COURAGE, ENDURANCE, INITIATIVE, DISCIPLINE and MATESHIP. These qualities all make up the ANZAC Spirit.
Can you name any of your friends/family that display any of these qualities? Let us know who and what qualities you believe they have displayed.
Thanks.

To all students in Room 12 – this is your blogging task for this week.
Write a 1/2 page to full page persuasive text, convincing your audience that professional sports people get paid too much, OR professional sports people don’t get paid enough.
Use persuasive language writing styles and tips that we have discussed in class. Remember: emotive language; word association; use of adjectives; compound and complex sentences…
Write this in your draft book. A selection of your persuasive texts will be published on our blog and you will gain Banko for your efforts.
Do not leave this until the last minute.

The first research project that my class will be working on this term is on: Legendary Creatures.
What do you think makes a Legendary Creature?
What is your favourite Legendary Creature and why?
Thanks

This is what it is all about………. from ricmac on Vimeo.
Whether you are a student/parent/teacher/principal, you would have an idea on what makes a good classroom, or why your classroom is so great. Tell us about your classroom environment – what does it have that makes it unique/special/inviting?
I bet there are some amazing classroom set-ups out there. We want to know more!
Remember, leave a detailed description but don’t give away your exact location.
Knowing your maths number patterns is very useful. Test yourself in this high speed, snow-skiing and snowboarding maths race. Click on the picture to be transported to the “maths snow fields”. Leave a comment after you have played it a few times. Let the world know what you think and how you went.
National Reconciliation Week’s 2011 theme is: Let’s talk recognition.
Recognition comes in all sorts of ways. It means different things to different people. All of us like it when we get it.
In what ways do you recognise people around you and in what ways do they recognise you?
We have made it to the end of Term One, another extremely busy and jam-packed term at our wonderful school. To all of my students – congratulations for making such an enthusiastic start to your school year. The way that you studied, applied yourself and performed our tribute song/dance for our New Zealand friends, really impressed me. All of you showed moments of brilliance, humour and much respect for our school values (CARE, LEARNING and CONFIDENCE) at different stages throughout Term One. My Student of the Term awards go to……boys: Harry and girls: a tie between Lucy and Elena. Congratulations!
Next term we will be practicing our lines, rehearsing often, for our class play. More on that next time.
Have a safe and happy holiday everyone.

I am very proud of the way in which my class put so much effort into learning the Ko Te Roopu Tenei song. We do apologise for our Aussie pronunciations!
“Ko Te Roopu Tenei”, especially for our Rm 8 friends from ricmac on Vimeo.
