End of week 1 in Room 7 - term 1






Douglas - you have been a champion. 
Elliot & Annabelle - well done!
SHARP STUDENTS for week 1 - well this was a hard choice as all the children have been SHARP. So I drew 2 names out of the name jar - and well done to Annabelle & Elliot. Both have done a lot of SHARP helping, classwork and showing nice manners.

SHARP WORK at home  - Who am I?
Petra & Tyah - used great presentation in their 'Who Am I?' poster. 

PLEASE make sure your child has their sunhat - we did a tally chart (as above).





On Thursday we did some photography.
Our success of a good photo would show that the child in the photo was centred with an interesting background (with no other children in the photo). Here is Fergus with a great example (see above).










Jacob & Harrison using the iPad to take their photos. 







Well done to your children for a SHARP week in Room 7 - we ended the day on Friday with a half hour session with our buddy class, Room 14 (years 7-8). We had lots of fun playing duck, duck - goose - then Mr Hammond challenged the children by having to say the students names (a good way of getting to know our buddy room's names)....
THEN as a nice treat the children had a nice cool ice-block - aahhhh! It surely was a hot week and your child (like the teacher ;) would've been very tired - put into that mix "testing - 1st week of school routine - lots of new learning - lots of playing etc..." and phew..... = nice & tired.
