Room 17 had a fabulous time with the Makey Makeys and discovering the differences between conductors and insulators.

 Here are some photos from our journey:

  Wow! We cannot believe that we are halfway through this term! Time has flown by. Last term for NAIDOC Week, we did lots of activities with our buddies. We participated in a Yarning Circle with Mrs Beste, read Aboriginal stories to our buddies and we made boomerangs out of salt dough.

  Room 17 News Update Hi, we are the ‘Term 2 Press’ Eisha, Navshan and Riley. This past week, Room 11, 17 and 25 had an assembly about PEMDAS. For our WOW writing, our classes had written an ANZAC recount letter as if we were all soldiers who went to battle in Gallipoli during World War I. For our assembly, we wore 90’s grunge/hip-hop outfits. We practised for our assembly for only one week, but we had a lot of fun. Most of us had a part in the assembly, if we wanted one. We sang a rap about PEMDAS and it helped us learn more about the order of operations.
