Student Reps

Whilst the Year 6 students were away at camp last week, the Year 5 students of Room 9 took over their roles for the week. They loved the responsibility of doing the flags, tidy bags and uniform checks. They completed their role as Student Rep on  Friday during Room 8's assembly. 



They announced the Rep report and supported the Year 1's throughout their assembly. I think they will do very well as Year 6 Reps next year.

Persuasive Writing

Last Friday we went over to the Year 2 students in Miss McManara's class. A few weeks ago they came to visit us to gain some tips on persuasive writing. They have been working on their own writing over the last couple of weeks and were pleased to share their final results with us. 



We enjoyed acting like teachers, reading their work and giving positive feedback. We think Year 2 did an amazing job. They had listened to lots of our advice to improve their work. 




Games with our Buddies

Room 9 got together with their Kindy Buddies from Miss Ryan's class last Thursday.



Room 9 had designed and made games suitable for Kindy students. Some of the games taught them about colours, shapes, numbers and letters. 



Both classes enjoyed playing the games together and had a lot of fun. We look forward to meeting up with our Buddies again soon.







Zoo Excursion

We promised you more of the wonderful photos from our Zoo excursion.



We saw many strange looking creatures.



We had a great time seeing the animals and the elephant show was a perfect end to the day.


We had lots of fun, including our teacher.

Perth Zoo Excursion


Room 9 enjoyed a perfect day at the Zoo on Wednesday along with Room 6.


There was so much to do and so many animals to see. We explored the wetlands and reptile centre first.

We saw some very interesting creatures.


We enjoyed an educational presentation about animals who are under threat. We took part in a fast game of survival. We even got to meet one of the local wildlife.




We wandered around the Zoo observing the habitats and enclosures. We were interested to see how well the animals are being treated. 


We were pretty impressed. Most animals seemed happy and content with what they had. 


Keep checking out our blog for more interesting information and photos of our Zoo excursion.
