English

Poetry Writing

One of our main focuses in English this term is poetry writing. Check out some of the fantastic Cinquian poems we wrote in Week 2.

Nature Playground

The first week of Term 3 saw the grand opening of our new Nature Playground. This use of space is a fantastic new feature to our ever changing school and we thank the P&C for all of its efforts in allowing this to happen. Room 8 was lucky enough to have their first play on Friday, and as you can see by the pictures below, we all had so much fun trying out all the terrific features.

Student Councillors

Semester Two Student  Councillors

Congratulations to Luke and Isabella. They have been voted in as the new Student Councillors for Semester Two. We know they will be fantastic ambassadors for Room 8!

Competition

Christmas Float Competition

The students in Room 8 will be entering The West Australian, Channel 7, Media Education and ED! Magazine design a Christmas Float Competition this term.

Grab your drawing gear and have some fun creating everything we need to design our Christmas Castle float - like towers, turrets, and spires… all with a festive twist!  
Let your imagination go wild – what else would you find in a Christmas Castle? Jousting elves? Princesses with swords? Gingerbread knights?
You can either draw the elements separately, or combine your ideas to create a bigger picture.
We’ll choose our favourite bits and pieces from everyone’s designs and put them together to build our new float for The West Australian, Channel 7, Media Education and ED! Magazine.
WIN!
Students could win $100 and an invitation to accompany our float in this year’s Pageant, as well as a cool shirt to wear! 

The design will be done in class time but some children may need to finish off at home if they have not completed their entry by Week 6. 

Due to cultural/religious reasons, some children may choose not to include Christmas symbols in their design.
