The students needed to know how to pronounce their word as well as how to spell it, what it meant and also synonyms for their chosen word. The junior room chose words that started with the letter ‘e’ as that was the vowel they were working on.

Senior Room News In the senior grade, students have begun exploring who our heroes are and the qualities they display. We have finished our exploration of what influences our children’s clothing choices, culminating in students designing and creating their own accessories using recycled materials. We have been collecting data to construct displays, including column graphs and tables, with and without the use of digital technologies such as spreadsheets and Excel. The senior room students are taking part in various challenges during National Science Week and are participating in the EnviroWeek Foodie and Green Thumb challenges.
