Drop Everything and Talk.

Improvement of our speaking and listening skills is a major focus this year in developing more student capacity to explain, use vocabulary and converse. A strategy to help the students improve their oral language skills is Drop Everything and Talk. The students are provided with a topic and are then asked to share their opinions. The topic for: Week One was - Describe a time when you had a big surprise.

Aussie Day Dress Up 2021.

Last Friday, our school held an Australian themed dress up day to help raise money to help those in need after the recent bushfires that occurred in Western Australia. We raised over $1500 for the Lord Mayor’s Bushfire Appeal.

 

WELCOME TO 2021....

Welcome to all of the students and parents of Room 31.

Mrs Queiros and I are looking forward to the wonderful year ahead and to all the fun and interesting times ahead. On the first day of school, Mrs Queiros and I outlined our expectations for the year. We talked about how it is extremely important for the students to strive for excellence and achieve their personal best. As a class, we discussed the importance of being positive role models, treating each other and staff members with respect and being grateful.

Students have started working on their Student Representative Speeches. Last week we heard the first group of students as they tried to persuade the Year Six staff and members from the Administration team as to why they should be chosen to represent the students of our school. The standard of speeches has been very high and the staff have truly been impressed. We look forward to working with all the Student Representatives over the year.

On Friday morning, we presented the selected Student Representatives for Term One. When selecting Student Representatives, we look for equal representation from all classes and a mix of abilities. This means that some students who delivered speeches may not have been selected in Term One.

 We are looking forward to meeting and talking to the parents at our Room 31 Parent Information Evening on Tuesday February 23. Due to COVID restrictions, we kindly ask that only one parent per student attends.
