Week 9

Week 9 was another busy week in 5M. In Week 8 we had our class mass and we kept the sharing going into Week 9 with our Class Assembly.
5M did exceptionally well practising for both of these events. There was a lot of excitement leading up to the Assembly with plenty of ideas flowing. Miss Mead loved hearing everyone's ideas and is lucky to be surrounded by so many creative minds.

It was another great week for Spelling with a great deal of the class showing improvement from previous weeks. This week included five unseen extension words after the test for those who wanted a bit of a challenge. This will be continuing each week. It was great to see so many students attempt extension words or words from another list.

Miss Mead has been enjoying reading the expositions from this week's extra homework task. Some of the expositions included "Why all children should play sport", "Why smoking should be made illegal", "Why violence and bad language should be removed from violence and television" and "Why school uniforms should be compulsory". These are only some of the many ideas 5M explored this week. There has been a huge improvement in the use of language in expositions over the past week. 5M should be very proud of themselves.

Miss Mead heard lots of great compliments from staff, students and parents about how well behaved, talented and confident 5M were during the Assembly. Well done 5M!

There will be photos coming shortly from the Assembly, please stayed tuned.

It wouldn't be an Assembly without awards. This week was a bumper week for 5M with seven students receiving awards (one receiving two awards). Chloe was our student of the week, she is always very helpful and has great manners.
Isabella and Molly received Library awards, Azure received the Principal's award while Lewis, Brock, Molly and Emily received class awards.
Students were awarded for their improvement in on-task behaviour, excellence in sport, sportsmanship, improvement in spelling and willingness to contribute to classroom discussions.


Another two big weeks to come before 5M will have a well deserved break with their family and friends.

Some notes for our diaries:
Thursday - School photos (dressed in summer uniform), please do not bring forms in before Thursday.

Friday - Athletics carnival - Glendale.

Have a lovely week =)
