Middle School News

Our learning

As always, it's been a busy time in Middle School. We have started our Genius Hour projects - students choose something they would like to learn more about, research their chosen topic, and create a presentation for an audience. They have chosen their topics and are enthusiastically researching!

We've been learning about Indigenous culture in History, and our Geography lessons have focused around different types of climates and environments. 

Reading has focused on predicting skills, with students using clues in the text to work out what might happen next. In Writing, we are learning to form persuasive arguments, while Maths has focused on classifying shapes and objects and their features.

Students enjoyed our PBS celebration, where they were rewarded with board game time for reaching our target acknowledgements. Great work to all our students across the school!

Reminders

Munch and Crunch: Don't forget your fresh fruit and veggies to eat while we are working away at 10am each day!

Social media: We remind parents to please read the advice from the eSafety Commissioner with respect to children's use of social media:

Please also be aware that Tik Tok requires all users of the app to be aged over 13. Common Sense media recommends not allowing your child to use Tik Tok unless they are at least 15 because of privacy issues and mature content.
