News from Room 33

The year 5/6's of Room 33 have been focusing on persuasive writing in our literacy block. A special mention needs to go to Nikita for writing a letter to our current Prime Minister, Mr Scott Morrison.  Nikita has combined his knowledge of persuasive writing and passion for snakes to try and convince Mr. Morrison to allow Ball Python's into this country as currently this is not permitted. Recently, Nikita received a personalised response from the Prime Minister thanking him for his efforts, opinion and view on a topic that is clearly of importance to him. Well done Nikita, an effort worth mentioning.

Co-Construction of the Learning Environment Initiative

Last term the Year 1 students in Room 29 took part in the Co-Construction of a Learning space Initiative, which is an opportunity to design and construct a part of the classroom that the children would like to see enhanced. We had many discussions about what we like to have for our class reading corner to make it more “user friendly”, spacious and enticing to enter and to read inside. As a class we decided that we would like to turn our space into an enchanted reading corner, which included a tepee with fairy lights, lots of beanbags, forest themed cushions, vines and big leaf canopies to read underneath. Brainstorming, planning and designs were created by the children and submitted to the Site Improvement Team with a successful result.

When the children walked in on day one of Term 2, the classroom had been transformed and our enchanted reading corner had come to life! It has been a huge success and the children have thoroughly enjoyed reading in their inspiring new space. Well done students in Room 29!
