 ASSEMBLY AWARDS

Congratulations to our most recent Merit Award recipients. These students have been working exceptionally hard and they all are making wonderful progress. Keep up the hard work!



It is also fantastic to note that Room 18 has read the most out of all of the classes in the school. Well done to the students above who have all achieved their Bronze Certificate. Keep up the great effort!

 SUPER SCIENTIST



Super Scientist is back for Term 2. This time, the competition sees students present a science concept to the class by way of a power point or chart. The students will need to present an experiment or investigation. 


A few rules to follow are: 
* No longer than five minutes, with a minimum of two minutes. 
* No specific science strand to draw from. Children are free to choose a topic that interest them but they must 'add value' to the topic. By this, I mean that students can not simply cut and paste a series of texts or pictures to a power point and recite it - they must attempt to re-frame it in their own words and give their own 'why this is interesting' perspective.
* When assessing, I'll be looking for the usual speaking etiquette (eye contact, volume, body language etc), plus the real passion and authentic attempt by the student to understand the concept and get their ideas across to their audience. The depth of knowledge is the key here.

Timeline - Title of the investigation/experiment to Mr Petch by Monday, 17th May.

Class presentations to be held in the week commencing Monday 24th May.
