Blogging...

We are beginning to use our blogs for 2016. The year 8's task has been to help setup the year 7 blogs and then teach them how to add posts. Over the next few days we will be adding the first of our SSW to our blogs and adding the motivation pictures we have been using.

Water - Zero Waste Education

This morning Miss G has come into our senior rooms to teach us about water within our environment.

Today we were talking about the cycle of water and the language associated within. We looked at some specific language associated with the water cycle then had to name and label a diagram showing our understanding.

Food for thought...

What a busy start to 2016...

We have already been full steam ahead with our getting to know each other profiles, PAT testing, team building, learning about Mary MacKillop and how she influences us in our daily lives at school, learning how to navigate our way around our new digital classroom, learning how to participate in classroom discussion online and how to access and submit our independent work through the digital classroom.

Stay tuned for updates soon.

Totally Focussed

We are full steam ahead...concentration to the max 😊

Syndicate Team Building

WALT work together as a team so that we can complete set challenges and tasks while learning to help each other along the way.

This afternoon we did a team building exercise with Room 2.

We worked in teams of three with one member to be blind folded and the other two members  were giving instructions on how to get around an obstacle course without touching items along the way. What made it harder was not only did they have to go around things, they also had to go over and under items too, paired with the voices of 3 other groups giving and receiving instructions at the same time. Interesting results....and a lot of fun.

We will be doing more of this tomorrow as we ran out of time. Lots of fun was had by all 😊.

Golden Way....what it means to us...

This morning we got together as a syndicate (rooms 1 & 2) to talk about the Golden Way,. We looked at the Golden Rules, focusing on what they look like, sound like and feel like in our own class, within our syndicate and from outside our syndicate.

Here we are in action.
