Congratulations!

Firstly, well done to those of you who finished your ASPIRE project on time and shared your Photostory with the class last Thursday or Friday. You have definitely earned a 2 week rest!

Secondly, well done to TJ who earned last week's year seven assembly award for MANNERS.



Hopefully you've read your science fair memo from last Friday and have shown it to Mum or Dad; the holidays is a good chance to look around for project ideas (remember that you're not expected to start any testing or inventing over the holidays, just be ready to tell me in the 1st week or so of term 2 what sort of area you are interested in).

Happy holidays!

Week eleven

This week you will be sharing your IDENTITY research with the class using PHOTOSTORY. To do this, you will need to have your script written and your photos/images ready to go. I know that many of you are ready and waiting which is fantastic!

I wonder which house will win our year seven small ball skills tournament this week? Surely it will be HIGHGATE. I hope you've all been practicing your throwing and catching!

What are you planning for the holidays? Let us know by making a comment and you'll earn yourself a raffle...

Have a great week!

WEEK TEN

Our ASPIRE projects are well underway! To be up to date, you should have chosen your BIG QUESTION and come up with some INTERVIEW QUESTIONS to ask an 'expert'.

By the end of this week you need to have completed your interview and planned what you are going to do with the information you have gathered. You may find that you need to look elsewhere for information to fully answer your big question. It would be useful to obtain some relevant photos during your interview as well.

Next week in class we will organise recording and sharing your information using PHOTOSTORY. Don't forget about your spelling and basic facts practice too.

Well done to Dylan who received room ten's 'respect' award at year seven assembly!



Have a great week!
