For being a motivated learner who is always focused and ready to take on tricky learning tasks with a positive attitude! Isaac always strives to do his best whilst also being a fantastic role model who is always following the WOW's and being a kind friend! Well done Isaac! 

Prep N

Mateo

For Letting your light shine!

Mateo is a motivated and determined learner who broke through his ‘worry wall” writing not one but two engaging narratives.  He included details and drama in his illustrations and took writing risks using his letter-sounds knowledge to attempt unknown words. FANTASTIC effort Mateo.  

1/2C

Isaac

For being a resilient learner who always tries his best at all learning tasks and gives everything a go. Isaac has been trying so hard in all learning areas, particularly in writing. He has been using his sight cards to help with his spelling and has been practicing writing on the dotted thirds. Well done Isaac, keep up the great work!

For being a reflective learner who takes on teacher feedback to improve her work. Jacqlyn has worked extremely hard in exploring analgue clocks. She was able to show quarter past and quarter two times and ensured her minute and hour hand was placed correctly. Well done! Keep up the fantastic work Jacqlyn.

Well done Akira! 

5/6K

Akshara

For being a reflective and motivated learner, who always challenges herself to do her best and a little bit more. One example of this was in Reading,  where you extended yourself to create a fantastic two page spread about Peregrines that was interesting and informative. You independently edited your work, reflecting on what improvements could be made. You approach all your learning with a positive attitude and are a fantastic example for your peers! Keep up the wonderful work Akshara.

5/6S

Anika

For being a collaborative learner, who listens, takes turns and shares tasks.  You are incredibly patient and can absolutely be relied upon to do your best and a little bit more.  Last week you did an exceptional job being a runner for our school photos - you ensured all classes were called at the right time, you tracked down missing items of uniforms and helped students line up in order of height and you did it all with a smile on your face!  Thank you for being an amazing  school captain and leading by example Anika!

Akshara 5/6K
