Room 6

Room 6 had a great start to Term 4.  The students have been busy engaging in lots of activities including literacy, Numeracy, excursion to the ‘Crocs Play Centre,’ Superhero dress up day to name a few. We also participated in lots of fun craft activities including making spooky Halloween displays to decorate our classroom.  As part of the mental health awareness month, we participated in lots of engaging fun activities and the highlight was the ‘Brainstorm Production’s' incursion, where we got to see an interactive performance.
