Leadership Centre
Highlight
Selamat siang,
What a fantastic week we have had in the Leadership Centre. Some highlights this week have been attending the Cyber Safety Project Incursion and learning about how to be safe online and being an upstander.
In English students have been learning all about persuasive techniques and how we can use them in our writing to persuade the audience. Students have begun the writing process by creating a plan for a persuasive big write that they will work on next week on a topic of their choice. We can’t wait to read their arguments!
In Maths, students explored shape and geometric patterns by creating shapes that tessellate, have a look at some of the amazing examples in the photos!
Congratulations to our Year 6 Leaders who were presented with their badges at assembly on Monday.
Another congratulations to our Year 5 Pleasant Snacks Managers. Thank you to everyone that applied for this role, we were so impressed with all the applications!
Have a wonderful week,
The Leadership Centre Teachers
