My final message...

I have had a wonderful year teaching all the different personalities in Room 23.  Thank you, parents, for trusting me with your precious children this year.  It has been a pleasure to teach them and watch them all grow academically and personally.  I will miss them all and but I know they will continue to be amazing in their new classes with their new Teachers.  I hope you all have a Merry Christmas and a fantastic holiday.
All my best
Miss Calvert

Party Time

What if Paper, Scissors and Rock were human???

In class, we watched a short video clip that depicted Paper, Scissors and Rock as characters with human attributes.  Students then drew Wanted posters for Scissors - who it turns out is the bad guy! Here are just a few of the great posters.

Class Party

Our class party will be happening at 12pm on Wednesday this week. Students took home a note requesting them to bring a savoury, sweet or drink - please stick to this so we have an even spread. 

We don't have facilities for heating food in Room 23 so if you are bringing anything hot it will need to be dropped to the class at 12pm. If students do not being a plate to share they will need to bring their own lunch. I will be providing plates and cups.

We have no food allergy concerns is Room 23 but please avoid bringing anything with nuts in it.

Thank you 
Miss Calvert

A Final Bit of Shakespeare

To complete our learning about Shakespeare we watched Gnomeo and Juliet - an animated version of Romeo and Juliet.  We discussed how they were the same and different and why movies are often different from books.  We are also writing a sequence of events in the movies.

We have also completed our Romeo and Juliet storyboards.  We practiced retelling the story then took them down to our buddies in PrePrimary and presented Romeo and Juliet to them.

Another Secret Homework Task

Here is another SECRET homework task: ask you parent's how they decided on your name. Be ready share it during Morning Circle.

Getting into the Christmas Spirit

Last week I had the students think about what they most enjoyed learning about this year.  We brainstormed and wrote a list on the board.  Students were then given a cut out of a hand and wrote one thing they most enjoyed learning, then coloured the hand.  I have them all displayed in the shape of a tree - they look great!!  It seems Kung Fu Punctuation and VCOP were very popular, so were some Maths concepts.  Glad to see that Shakespeare made it on there too!!

NO SWIMMING TOMORROW

Please remember that we will not be having swimming tomorrow.  This applies only to the classes who swim at the same time as us.
