District 12 News

This episode of District 12 News is proudly brought to you by the Group 6 reading group. They have planned, scripted, recorded and even edited this all by themselves. All I had to do was a little bit of editing at the end to get things in the right order. Amazing effort team!

8 children from Room 12 went to the next level of the cross country today. They had to race against year 5 and 6 children and they all did very well. Congratulations team!

Latest Radio Episode

Last week we made another episode of District 12 News. I was very pleased with how well the children in these groups worked together to put this show together. Great job Sam for using the portable microphone and recording all the parts. This certainly has cut out all the background noise.

Teddy Bear's Picnic

Today we had a teddy bear's picnic. We brought along our bears and dolls to have lunch with us. This was a reward for our class as we've been working on being a team and helping each other to get our work done.

Wonderful writing

Room 12 have been learning to write narratives. We have been learning to add interesting describing words and descriptive language like similies and metaphors. Check out some of this amazing writing on our writing blog...

Egg Adventures

Wow! These eggs have just hit Room 12. Our mission is to keep them safe for the whole week without them cracking. We are doing this because we are learning to be responsible for things and to keep ourselves safe and others safe.

Miniball

Today Caspian, Devon, Adam and Annie went to a miniball tournament. It was really cool because you got to compete with year 5 and 6’s… except for the part where I hit my head.

Reporter: Devon.

Book Week - reading fun

We were so luck last week to have lots of stories read to us. Mr. Vinicombe came to our class and read a story. He read Bad Jelly the Witch.


We also had Mayor Peter. Chin come and read us the middle team some stories. How lucky are we?
