Welcome to Term 2.

It is the Winter term and Mrs Phillips said don't forget to bring your jacket every day as the weather is very changeable.  You leave your sunhat at home until term 4.  We have two new College teachers for two weeks.  They are Miss Cleaver and Miss Wiffen.  They have been reading books to us and taking printing.  The value for this term is Compassion.  Soon it will be Electives.  We choose something to do every Friday, for seven weeks.  There will be no more Jump Jam or team singing for a while.  Our new topic is "Kitchen Chemistry" and we will be experimenting.  We had last Wednesday off for ANZAC Day.  We talked a lot about it.  Cultural swap is now on Thursdays and we go to Room 11 to do Art.  It is Winter Sports time now and Summer Sports are over.  Our Maths classes have been doing Temperature for the start of the term.  We went to a Show called "Rhythm Interactive".  We all got a drum to use.  It was an excellent show.

Easter 2012 as dictated by R17

Tomorrow is the last day of school for Easter and the holidays.  We have been buying poppies this week for ANZAC Day which is on the 25th April, early next term. This is also a holiday from school.  Some of us have been playing drums and guitars with Mr Galloway.  Mrs Phillips has been to some meetings, but we have been very happy to have Mrs King, from R4 last year, to teach us.  Last time she was here we turned our autumn poem into a picture.  We have been busy writing so we all have new WALT's in our Storywriting books.  When it was International day we all dressed up and it was really fun.  We had a parade in the hall.  Today was the last Cultural Swap to Room 12 for computers.  Most of us thought it was terrific.  Every Thursday we put our poem of the week into our books to take home.  Tomorrow is our last day for our college teachers.  Next term they will go to new schools and we get a new college teacher.  Winter sports notices have been out as we have finished the summer sports.  Yesterday we had a fire drill practice and next term it might be a lockdown practice or another fire drill.  We need to be ready for the real thing if it happens.  Happy Easter and restful holidays everyone!
