How to Write an Amazing Piece of Writing!

Milania created this poster for our class to show students how your ideas in a graphic organiser is used to write your draft and once edited with self assessment, peer assessment and feed back from the teacher, it is then published.  It definitely takes a lot of work, but it's totally worth it in the end as Milania's proven in her Information Report.

TAE KWAN DO!

Tae Kwan Do has been one of the greatest challenges Room 13 has faced this term as we are really learning how to manage ourselves by listening to instructions and following through with the instructions.  Most of us have already learnt so much thanks to our teacher Miss Yu.  We look forward to the rest of our lessons.

The 'Tua Man' at Sylvia Park School

Sylvia Park School were so fortunate to have the great David Tua visit us for a school assembly.  He inspired us all by sharing his secret to becoming a champion.  David Tua's inspiration advice included the fact it isn't just talent that makes a champion but also hard work and heart.  We were very honoured to have you inspire us and motivate us to be champions too!

Tahlia's Summary on the Story 'Ants'

Hamish likes honey. His toast with honey on it, his sandwiches with honey, everything with honey! 

Hamish saw one big ant and a week later hundreds of them were marching up his drive way so he washed them all out. 

On a Saturday morning Hamish was having jam on his toast but when he looked inside it and it was filled with black ants. So he flicked them down the sink. So he took a slice of bread and spread honey over it  but when he took a big bite, he felt something between his teeth!  It was 4 black ants. "Ants must be clever" he said . 

Hamish had peanut butter on his toast the next morning instead.
