Newsletter Maths Challenge

The latest newsletter maths challenge has not been won. Last time both junior prizes went to students in Room 23. Here is the latest problem...get to it Room 23 students!! A Man’s age this year is a multiple of 7. Next year it will be a multiple of 5. If he is less than 60 years old what is his age now?

Huge Thank You

A huge thank you to Solomons Flooring in Cannington. I contacted them recently to ask if they could donate some carpet mats for Room 23 students to sit on during assembly. They generously donated 50 mats!!! This allowed us to supply Room 21, Miss Heppener's year 2s, with a class set also.

Semester 2 Student Councillors

Room 23 recently voted on new student councillors and the winners are... Abbey and Venzhel!! Congratulations - I know you both will do a great job.

Scholastic Book Club

The latest Scholastic Book Club flyers were handed out to students last week. If you didn't receive a copy there are spares in the classroom. Many of these books are Lexile graded and all purchases help raise money for the school. Orders are due back to the office on Monday 4 August.

Welcome to Term 3

I hope you all enjoyed a fantastic, relaxing holiday! I certainly did - I had a great time visiting my friend in Brisbane and enjoying my birthday over there. Room 23 students have all come back ready to learn. I have handed out a new homework book along with a homework schedule.
I have also reworked the timetable just a little bit. Remember, our class library book swap time is on odd weeks, however students are able to go in at recess and lunchtimes on other days to swap is they need to.

The 13 Storey Treehouse

In class we finished reading The 13 Storey Treehouse just in time for holidays. I just found out it has been made into a play and will be at the State Theatre Centre of WA from 15 July to 20 July. Would be a great event to go to in the holidays. If anyone gets there I would love to hear about it. Hope you are all enjoying your holidays. I am loving Queensland and spending time with my best friend.
