She talked to us about setting goals, dealing with disappointment and turning difficulties in to positive change. 

Here is a link that gives you a glimpse into Olivia's life and how she came to be a pole vaulter.

What message did you take away from today's talk?

Road Safety Week

Road Safety Week is about encouraging families to think about how they can help everyone have safe and active journeys to and from school.  Parking away from the school and walking in helps keep the area outside the school safer for students.  Walking, biking and scootering is a great way to add exercise into your week!  Please remember to use the crossings, it may take an extra minute or two but it is another way we can help you to stay safe.

What do you do to keep safe on the roads?

Caught Being Good, T4 Wk 5

 Congratulations to these Room 7 students who have been showing our school values!

 Swimming will start at school this week.

Every Sunday I will post the days Room 7 will be swimming but it is a good idea to pack togs everyday as we may get additional unscheduled slots. 

This week Room 7 will be swimming on Tuesday and Thursday.

Three Little Pigs Acrostic Poem

Acrostics are fun poems to write.  The first letter of each line spells out a word.  The word can be a name, a thing, or whatever you like.   Usually, the first letter of each line is a capital letter. This makes it easier to see the word spelled out down the page.  Acrostic poems are easy to write because they don’t need to rhyme.  Each line can be as long or as short as you want it to be.

To create an acrostic poem, follow these four easy steps:

1. Write your word vertically down the page - we are using the word RESOURCEFUL.
2. Brainstorm words or phrases that describe your idea.
3. Place your brainstormed words or phrases on the lines that begin with the same letters.
4. Fill in the rest of the lines to create a poem.

Here is my attempt at an acrostic poem all about the Three Little Pigs story.

 

I'm looking forward to seeing your poems!

Our next Google Meet is Wednesday 26th at 10am
