Old photos

I found these photos from our trip to the Antarctic Centre.  That was a great learning experience, and lots of fun!

Auction Fun

In Room 6 we have been doing auctions on Fridays.  We are using r6 money to buy things. We earn money by doing our work well, remembering to bring our homework, being ready for learning, putting our lunch boxes on the shelf and tidying our desks.  

We bid for times with the bubbles, a few lollies, chalk and I-pad time and frisbee time.  Some children used their time today.  See the photos below.

School Uniforms

Here is a photo to show what the uniform will look like when we have phased out all of the old uniform items.  Please make sure that if you are buying new items, they fit the new requirements.  I think they look very smart. :)  Miss Barker

Athletics Practice

We have been practicing all of our athletics sports. Today we did sprints and high jump.

Dollars and Sense

This term's unit is called Dollars and Sense.  I have changed our background to match the theme.
What do you think is important for children to learn about money and financial literacy?  Please comment and we will try to add your ideas in to our learning.
