Anzac Day Ceremony

What a lovely Anzac ceremony we had on Friday morning.  
We started the week settling back into a new Term, setting goals, and reviewing expectations in all areas of learning.
We ended the week with a busy Friday, including clubs, assembly, but most importantly our Anzac Ceremony.

Fortnight Flashback and Happy Easter

Well the last two weeks were busy to say the least.  So here is a little recap of what was happening in Room 5.
1.  We started our ANZAC Unit and I was very impressed with the amount of interest and enthusiasm that students showed in regards to this topic.  Thank you to the students who have shared family items and stories about their ancestors who had a part to play in the war.  Students will continue to inquire, study and learn about ANZAC at the start of Term 2.  Stay tuned for postings on their blogs.

2.  Our poetry unit has also begun to take shape.  Some students have shown a real talent when it comes to writing poetic couplets and and other forms of poetry.  We will continue to develop our skills, making sure to use rich vocabulary and different types of figurative language.

3.  Our last session with the Canterbury RAMS players took place on Wednesday and we now look forward to the start of winter sport in Term 2.  

4.  Besides that we did lots of fun things relating to Easter.  Have a look...
