Choir Notes

Recently notes went home about the Junior Choir excursion on 15 August. Permission slips and money ($3.50) need to be returned as soon as possible. Remember: when you are away all notes and work will be put in your big tray - so if you are in the choir and don't have a note, check your big tray.

Report writing

It's a quiet day in Room 23 today - only 12 students came to school!! For those 11 students at home here is something to think about: we are starting to learn about report writing. You need to think of a famous Australian to write a report about. We will be doing some research during our computer time but for now you need to choose a famous Australian and be able to tell me why you have chosen them.

Correction and Omission

In the last Assembly award post I forgot to mention that Gabby also was in the top 5 for the Year 3 Principal's Challenge. Gabby is still on holidays so it slipped past me - congratulations Gabby!! Also, I said that Asher won a bronze certificate for Lexile (which was what was announced at the assembly) - it was in fact a Blue Certificate. This is due to the Lexile system resetting at the end of the year so students start from the beginning of certificates again. To earn a Lexile certificate students must read their Lexile graded books then log into Lexile to complete quizzes and diary entries related to those books. This earns them point which earns them certificates.

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.
