Trend-setter Amy!





For PB4L, we currently have a system going where you earn a wrist band when you display the school values a certain number of times. First wrist (white coloured) band is earned when you're caught displaying school values 200 times.



Here's Room 11's very own - Amy with her third wrist band (blue coloured)...she's also the first in the SCHOOL to get to the third band! Woohoo...


We're PROUD of you Amy!

Procedural Writing: How to make a chocolate Hedgehog slice


Room 11 has been learning about Procedural Writing. To make things more engaging, we agreed to 'make something' then write the procedure for making it. So, we made Miss Tupou's infamous chocolate hedgehog slice. We worked in groups, all hands in and successfully made our desserts. Rating from Mr Herlihy and other teacher's ranged from 8.5+ out of 10.
