Term 2 Week 1

Welcome back to an E X C I T I N G term everyone.  I hope you had a wonderful Easter break and enjoyed spending time together as a family. 

Firstly, we would like to welcome Foram Bhatt to room 21.  Forum has come to MVS from India and we really hope she enjoys being a part of our amazing classroom. 

Secondly, congrats to Brosnyn, Kayla, Shay, Sunwoo and Courtney on a great job presenting MVTV on Wednesday.  You did room 21 proud! 

This week’s focus has been all about presenting our Senior Assembly.  What a week!  A lot goes into the organisation on assembly as room 21 found out this week.  There’s planning a theme and class item, organising a script and co-ordinating the right people for the right job.   

There were so many wonderful ideas for a class item and eventually we decided on a fashion show (with a twist) and a group dance.  I’m so proud of everyone’s efforts in organising and presenting our assembly.  It was neat watching you all work together, have fun and present an amazing assembly.  I don’t think I’ve laughed so much in a week.  You are all such great sports Room 21 and I enjoyed seeing you a different side to your personalities!  Check out the photos below of us at assembly. 

Congratulations to Liam for winning the Citizenship Cup for 2010.  We talked about what makes a good citizen in class and came up with qualities like patient, responsible, kind & caring, honesty, organised, humourous, gives 100% in everything, encourages & helps others and many, many more.  I have such a wonderful class and any one of my kids could have won the cup this year.  When we did a class vote, virtually every child had been voted for, and the most votes any one person got was two, just proving what a lovely mix of children we have in room 21.  There was no clear favourite and it was a very difficult decision to make.  I really wish we had 30 trophies to hand out this year!!!!! 

This term’s topic is: AWE and WONDER with a Science focus.  We are looking forward to carrying out a number of scientific experiments this term.  Keep checking out our website page for weekly updates and photos of our experiments.  

Until next week,
