Wow - sometimes - things just happen and they're such a cool moment....these 3 photos below are from Wednesday morning - I had some old maths text books out = and Petra, Ava, Jordyn, Mackenzie and Liv took it upon themselves to do some early morning maths, before school started. 

Go Ava and Jordyn - great maths you two =)

On a Wednesday lunchtime, 12 noon in Room 7 you will find the Pokemon Club.
Ali (R7), Jonty (R8) and Liam (R8) are the leaders. I am the teacher supervising, but I have left the club to be run by these boys.
We have set up ground rules..ie: no cards outside of the club. As in the club the students are playing Pokeman games, trading etc....

SHARP Room 7 students - Annabelle and Esther for well written postcards (I am going to add Petra to this) and Mackenzie for her SHARP responsiiblity and helping another student. 

Look at these well written postcards...

Black box time - think, pair, share....this is really good for oral language. Zac and Charlie talking to each other.

My wonderful mother inlaw - when she was a little girl. My daughter so looks like her in this photo. The life cycle continues...

A great reminder of these words...and how to remember them. 

 Friday: At 11am we have our Mandarin lesson with our teacher: WU SHAN

The children are learning how to ask what is your name? They do this by asking in Mandarin and singing songs in Mandarin.
